High-Speed/Short Range Ultrasonic Distance Measurement

The MassaSonic mPulse® Model (M-5000/220) short range ultrasonic sensor is a full featured, wired object detection sensor with multiple outputs. These ultrasonic sensors feature a high measurement speed and accuracyfor non-contact distance measurement, object detection for factory automation, industrial process control, and more! The mPulse Sensor stands out over other systems because of its extraordinary ease of operation, genuinely user-friendly software, versatility in user-controlled outputs, and the ability to be set up without using a target.

mPulseR

The mPulse Sensor transmits narrow beam sound pulses at a user-selected rate (or it can be externally triggered) and processes return echoes. It also has two independent set point switches and an echo status output switch. The system parameters and outputs are fully user programmable via an RS-485 data link, thereby eliminating the sealing and tampering problems associated with adjustment potentiometers or push-buttons. In its industry standard 30mm diameter CPVC housing, the sensor includes built in temperature compensation, diagnostic and monitoring outputs as well as protection from over-voltage, short circuits and reverse polarity.

mPulse® Sensor Software

Massa’s extremely user-friendly software works with a PC running under Windows® 10, 8, 7, 95, 98, NT, 2000, and XP operating systems. The mPulse Sensor connects to a PC using USB/RS-485 or RS-232/RS-485 converters. The RS-485 data link allows up to 32 sensors to be on the same multi-drop communications network. For users that prefer not to use a PC, the sensors can be programmed at the factory to the customer’s exact specifications for true “plug and play” operation.
