The MK292 digital output module provides an interface between Temposonics position sensors and a host control system. It converts sensor measurement data into selectable BCD, binary, or Gray Code formats and provides status signals such as DATA READY and ERROR.
Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy
The MTS Temposonics MK292-1001 REV6 is a digital output interface module designed for linear position measurement systems. It connects Temposonics sensors to industrial controllers by converting PWM or Start/Stop sensor signals into digital position data for machine control applications.
For facilities operating legacy Temposonics measurement systems, maintaining New Original / New Surplus MK292-1001 REV6 inventory reduces the risk of extended downtime caused by unavailable sensor interfaces. Because these modules are specialized legacy components, lifecycle tracking, last-time-buy planning, and controlled buffer stock support lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Installation & Configuration Guide
Stage 1: Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety)
- Apply lock-out/tag-out procedures before opening the control cabinet.
- Confirm the installed module identification:
- MTS MK292-1001 REV6
- Record:
- Sensor model number
- Output configuration
- Digital output format selection
- Rack position
- Existing wiring layout
- Photograph:
- Front panel indicators
- Rear connector wiring
- Switch/jumper settings
- Use ESD protection before handling the module.
Required tools:
- ESD wrist strap
- Multimeter
- Insulated screwdriver
- Wiring labels
- Sensor documentation
Stage 2: Removal
- Disconnect 24 VDC power supply.
- Verify power absence before removing the module.
- Label all connections.
- Disconnect:
- Sensor input connections
- Digital output interface
- Rack connections
- Remove the module carefully from the rack.
Avoid forcing the 64-pin connector. Bent pins can cause intermittent position measurement faults.
Stage 3: Installation (Clone & Seat)
- Install the replacement MK292-1001 REV6 into the original rack position.
- Confirm connector alignment.
- Reconnect sensor and controller wiring.
- Match original:
- Output format selection
- Sensor configuration
- Rack addressing
- Verify mechanical seating.
Stage 4: Power-On & Testing
- Verify 24 VDC supply polarity.
- Energize the module.
- Check front-panel status indicators.
- Confirm:
- Sensor communication
- Position data output
- DATA READY signal
- ERROR status
- Compare measured position against a known reference.
Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes
- Firmware: -1001 uses fixed module firmware; user field upgrades are generally not applicable.
- Configuration: Output format and sensor compatibility settings must match the original installation.
- System Compatibility: Verify compatibility between:
- Temposonics sensor model
- revision
- PLC/DCS input interface
Replacement Warning
Do not replace an module without confirming sensor signal type. PWM and Start/Stop sensor configurations require matching interface settings.
Before replacement:
- Record output format.
- Document sensor model.
- Save PLC input scaling parameters.
- Verify position resolution requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is the a new unit or refurbished?
The supplied 6 is a Brand New Surplus unit. It is not removed from decommissioned equipment and is not refurbished.
Q2: Why choose New Surplus instead of refurbished inventory?
Position measurement modules directly affect machine accuracy and control quality. New Original inventory avoids unknown operating history and previous environmental exposure.
Q3: What does do?
The converts Temposonics sensor signals into digital position information for industrial control systems. It supports BCD, binary, and Gray Code output formats.
Q4: Is obsolete?
The platform is a legacy Temposonics interface product. Plants still using this hardware should evaluate lifecycle risk and maintain spare availability.
Q5: Can the be hot-swapped?
No. Disconnect power before removing or installing the module. Live replacement may damage the module or connected sensor interface.
Q6: Will replacing the erase PLC programming?
No. The does not store the main PLC program. However, PLC scaling, input mapping, and measurement parameters must match the replacement installation.
Q7: What stocking strategy is recommended?
For machines where linear position feedback affects production quality or machine availability, maintain 1–2 units of on-site buffer stock. For multiple machines using the same module, centralized spare inventory and vendor consolidation can reduce carrying costs while protecting availability.
