Eliminating Analog Output:
When
working with a programmable logic controller (PLC), the analog
signal must be processed by converting it into digital form. This
requires expensive additional hardware. Extra
software with its attendant memory and debug requirements is
then needed to perform a digital comparison on the converted
signal. Another
avenue would keep the signal in the analog realm and feed it to
an analog comparator. Here
a digital signal would be developed which would then need to be
buffered up to a level which is compatible with the input of a
PLC. This again
demands additional hardware and debug time. Furthermore,
this solution may not be acceptable in many facilities.
All
this expense and time can be avoided if the requisite
comparisons are done in the measuring equipment and the PLC is
presented with a compatible yes/no digital signal. The
underlying solution is the reasoning behind the innovative
design of Control Methods, Inc., Intella-Sense Optical Control.
Units come standard with an alphanumeric readout indicating the
percentage of infrared energy received from the unit’s
transmitter. Simple
entry through the keypad allows for quick set-up in which all
parameters are programmed into the unit in response to menu
prompts on the display.
This feature assists in setting window limits enabling
the unit to adapt to a variety of sensing applications.
Each sensor comes equipped with 2 outputs (OUT A, OUT B)
with the ability to program up to 4 windows.
