MDT 6.2

Transducer Interface Modules 6-23

Some Temposonics I transducers from MTS have 200 Ohm termination resistors installed

between their interrogation pins and common. If yours do not, it may be necessary to install them

as close to the transducers as possible to reduce electrical noise in the system.

Axis 1 Drive

Case

When positive voltage is sent to an axis’s drive, the axis must extend. The extend direction is

defined as the direction that causes the transducer to return increasing counts. The extend

direction of a magnetostrictive transducer is away from the head.

CAUTION: If the outputs from the RMC are reversed, the axis will be uncontrollable when power is

connected. Confirm that your wiring is correct!
