HMR4007 SENSOR PRODUCTS LINEAR POSITION SENSOR MODULE Features x x x x x x 0-69 mm Magnetic Travel (Magnet Dependent) Microprocessor Digital and Analog Data Outputs 0.1mm Accuracy (Magnet Dependent) 0.1mm Repeatability -40 to +85C Operating Temperature Range Regulated 5 volt or unregulated 6 to 20 volt DC Supply Compatibility General Description The Honeywell HMR4007 is a high-resolution electronic linear position-sensing module capable of measuring extended range linear position by providing a digital indication of position of a target magnet. Advantages include insensitivity to shock and vibration, known position at power-on, ability to withstand large variations in the gap between the sensor and the magnet, and high sensitivity so lower cost magnets (such as AlNiCo or Ceramic) can be used. The HMR4007 is manufactured with Honeywell's HMC1501 magnetoresistive (MR) sensors in a stationary array, which provides better performance than Hall Effect devices and only needs a magnetic field source greater than 80 gauss.

Power is supplied to the board through any one of these connectors and is selected by jumper block #1. Only ONE of the three positions on JP1 should be shorted at a time. Shorting more than one may result in excessive power supply currents and board damage. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The HMR4007 Linear Position Sensor circuit board includes all of the basic sensors and electronics to provide a digital indication of position of a target magnet. The HMR4007 starts with an array of seven Honeywell HMC1501 single axis magnetoresistive (MR) sensors to determine the field geometry and direction of a target magnet attached to the moving part of a device under test. These sensors are supplied power by a constant voltage source, and the use of an array of sensors helps to maintain accuracy over temperature and run-out. The sensor outputs are routed to a multiplexed Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) integrated circuit. A microcontroller integrated circuit periodically queries the multiplexed ADC and performs sensor offset and gain corrections and computes the position of the target magnet as a function of the distance of travel along the long axis of the sensor board. The position data, along with an error bit, is available thought the serial interface or is present on the Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) output port. The serial interface is not needed in order to use the board's stand-alone analog output. The microcontroller also performs the external serial data interface and other housekeeping functions. An onboard EEPROM integrated circuit is employed as a nonvolatile storage to retain necessary data and configuration variables for best performance. The HMR4007 uses an on-board low drop out (LDO) +5 volt regulator so that a regulated +5 volt power supply or an unregulated power supply in the range of +6VDC to +28VDC can be used. The power is supplied to the board through one of the three user ports being (serial, analog, or USB) and a jumper is used to select which port is the power source. Only one jumper should be in place at any one time as the board does not have over current protection and use of more than one jumper can result in excessive power supply currents and board damage. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS The circuit board for the HMR4007 Linear Position Sensor is approximately 340mm by 80mm. A 6-pin right angle connector (J1) and two 4-pin connectors (J2, J3) protrude from the back of the board for user connections. Components on the top-side have a maximum height of 12mm. Figure 1 shows a typical circuit board with dimensions.
