Theory or Operation of Inductive Proximity Sensors | How Inductive Proximity Sensor Works?

In this section we will look at Inductive proximity sensors, and how they detect the presence of an object without coming into physical contact with it. Inductive proximity sensors are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet varying applications. Specific sensors will be covered in more detailed in the following section.

Electromagnetic Coil and Metal Target

The sensor incorporates an electromagnetic coil which is used to detect the presence of a conductive metal object. The sensor will ignore the presence of an object if it is not metal.

Inductive proximity sensors are operated using an Eddy Current Killed Oscillator (ECKO) principle. This type of sensor consists of four elements: coil, oscillator, trigger circuit, and an output. The oscillator is an inductive capacitive tuned circuit that creates a radio frequency. The electromagnetic field produced by the oscillator is emitted from the coil away from the face of the sensor. The circuit has just enough feedback from the field to keep the oscillator going.

When a metal target enters the field, eddy currents circulate within the target. This causes a load on the sensor, decreasing the amplitude of the electromagnetic field. As the target approaches the sensor the eddy currents increase, increasing the load on the oscillator and further decreasing the amplitude of the field. The trigger circuit monitors the oscillator’s amplitude and at a predetermined level switches the output state of the sensor from its normal condition (on or off). As the target moves away from the sensor, the oscillator’s amplitude increases. At a predetermined level the trigger switches the output state of the sensor back to its normal condition (on or off).

Operating Voltages

Inductive proximity sensors include AC, DC, and AC/DC (universal voltage) models. The basic operating voltage ranges are from 10 to 30 VDC, 15 to 34 VDC, 10 to 65 VDC, 20 to 320 VDC, and 20 to 265 VAC.

Output Configurations

Three-wire, DC proximity sensor can either be PNP (sourcing) or NPN (sinking). This refers to the type of transistor used in the output switching of the transistor. The following drawing illustrates the output stage of a PNP sensor. The load is connected between the output (A) and the negative side of the power supply (L-). A PNP transistor switches the load to the positive side of the power supply (L+). When the transistor switches on, a complete path of current flow exists from L- through the load to L+. This is also referred to as current sourcing since in this configuration conventional current is (+ to -) sourced to the load. This terminology is often confusing to new users of sensors since electron current flow (-to +) is from the load into the sensor when the PNP transistor turns on.

The following drawing illustrates the output of an NPN sensor. The load is connected between the output (A) and the positive side of the power supply (L+). An NPN transistor switches the load to the negative side of the power supply (L-). This is also referred to as current sinking since the direction of conventional current is into the sensor when the transistor turns on. Again, the flow of electron current is in the opposite direction.

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.

TDA2030 complete tone control

At this time I present a series of amplifiers that use IC TDA2030, but this series is equipped with a tone control. Tone controls include Bass, Treebel, and Volume. Power amplifier and tone control has been put together in a single PCB. As well as its power supply circuit was also used as one with the power amp, and tone control. Making it easier in the installation and will look neat. Schematics Layout PCB PCB design This amplifier is a mono amplifier type, can be modif for guitar amplifiers. If not coupled amplifier (mic preamp) then you must deactivated potensio treble and bass, why? because if not using a mic preamp and still maintain potensio treble and bass sound input (input) from the guitar will not or the maximum discharge is not tight on the speakers. So you must deactivated a way to decide which directly connected capacitor with the tone control circuit, and capacitor were connected directly to potensio volume and input jack.
