RTS100 sensors: reliable and safe

TSM Sensors expands its portfolio of mobile automation solutions by introducing a new generation of multi-variable position sensors. The RTS100 series is distinctive for its safety, reliability and greater amount of data accessible in a single installation point. The latter, in particular, is made possible by the innovative technological heart of the sensor, which is a system capable of combining simultaneous  angular position (Hall effect) measurement with dynamic inclination (MEMS with gyrocompensation function). Furthermore, the RTS100 is a sensor focused on functional safety, thanks to the SIL2-PLd certified CANopen Safety communication protocol (latest IEC61508 and EN13849 standards). The device's increased reliability comes from the compact and robust mechanical design of the PBT case (only 50 mm in diameter and 15 mm in height, with IP67 rating) which is very resistant to shocks and vibrations. Contactless sensitive elements also grant it a virtually unlimited life expectancy. In addition to these features, it is also compliant with the UNECE R10 (E24) regulation, has a greater magnetic field intensity and lower electromagnetic emissions and conducted electrical transients typical of vehicles. The RTS100 is in fact the ideal sensor for various sectors of mobile automation such as agricultural vehicles, construction equipment, loading cranes, telescopic handlers and aerial platforms.
