Shielded and Unshielded “Shielded” and “Unshielded” are two terms
used to describe these sensors. The basic difference in these two types arrive from their mechanical construction.
![Page 23: C O M P A N Y ISF-101 Industrial Sensor Fundamentals Instructor Rob Smith](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da85503460f94a9570c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Shielded and Unshielded In general, these two construction styles
yield slightly different sensing performances. In summary, the unshielded style will provide approximately twice the sensing distances with an inherent drawback of specific mounting and installations requirements.

C O M P A N Y
A Capacitive Proximity sensor is similar to an inductive sensor in that it has a Oscillator, Detector and Output circuit. It differs in that it uses a plate shaped Electrode instead of a wire-wound core. In operation, it forms an electrostatic capacitive field formed between it and the the sensors ground. (In practice the supply line is in effect the ground.)

C O M P A N Y
When there is no target object in the area of the sensor the field that is formed will be stable.
![Page 40: C O M P A N Y ISF-101 Industrial Sensor Fundamentals Instructor Rob Smith](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da85503460f94a9570c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
C O M P A N Y
When a target object nears the sensor its positive and negative charges (normally neutralized) separate. The negative charges in the target are attracted towards the electrode, and its positive charges towards ground. This “influence” increases the electrostatic capacitance of the electrode which increases its coupling with ground. This provides increased amplitude in the oscillator circuit, which is in turn used to switch the output in the detection circuit.

Dielectric Constants
The measure, or unit of Dielectric Constant, is the ability of a material to concentrate electrical flux. Its numerical value is specified as the ratio of flux in the material verses the flux in air or vacuum. The dielectric constant of air or vacuum is 1 – since it is the reference.

Principle of Operation
Through-beam sensors consist of two parts, an emitter (the light source) and a receiver (the detector). A beam of light links the two - establishing a sensing area.

Principle of Operation
The target to be detected passes through the beam, breaking the link between the emitter and the receiver. When this occurs, the object has been sensed.

Principles of Operation
Unlike the through-beam sensor, the retroreflective sensor has the emitter and receiver in one body. The light beam is established by the use of a reflector, returning the light from the transmitter back to the receiver.

Like the through beam sensor, the object is detected by breaking the path of the beam. The retroreflective sensor has an advantage over the through beam type, in that the unit requires wiring of only one component.

C O M P A N Y
Possible Problems
Even though color and shape do not affect this sensor type, the sheen or glossiness of the item may have an adverse affect. If the object is extremely shiny, or highly reflective, it could reflect more light back to the receiver than the reflector does on its own. It this case the object could/would pass by undetected. As a commonly found issue, there is a solution for these applications.

Unlike the retroreflective sensor, there is no separate reflector in use to return light back to the receiver. Instead, this sensor type relies on light reflection coming off of the object itself. This configuration has the advantage one-piece wiring, and no reflector. This is especially useful in those applications where there may be access to only one side, or mounting problems exist.

If all of these sensors work on the principal of light, then why does the ambient light affect the sensor?

C O M P A N Y
Modulation
Modulating an LED means turning it on and off at a set frequency. This is generally done at high frequency with short bursts of voltage. By applying power in this manor the circuit is able to generate a very high intensity light at a certain spectrum. Because the LED is not on continuously it does not suffer from the adverse affects of heat.
![Page 88: C O M P A N Y ISF-101 Industrial Sensor Fundamentals Instructor Rob Smith](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649da85503460f94a9570c/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
C O M P A N Y
Continued
The secret of a modulated system’s superior performance is that the sensors receiving circuit is tuned to the emitters specific light spectrum. Since the receiver is set to respond specifically to this spectrum, the effects of ambient light are virtually ignored. This is similar to a radio receiver which tunes solidly to one station, while ignoring all other radio waves that are present.

Spot Sensor
The spot sensor sometimes refereed to as a convergent beam sensors. With this sensor the light source is positioned perpendicular to the object and the receiver is set at an acute angle to detect only diffuse light from the object. It avoids receiving directly reflected light. This sensor style detects differences in object surface condition, small objects, or objects in a pinpoint.

Color Mark Sensor
These sensors are designed to detect marks of varying color contrast on a common surface. They have a similar light source and receiver arrangement as spot sensors, but they have increased sensitivity to changes in color. They can detect a color mark by contrast to non-marked area rather than by direct color measurement.

Color Mark SensorThere are three types of light sources each gives a different range of sense.
• Incandescent lamps: Best for wide range of color conditions. (Shorter life than LED).
• Green LED: Green LED’s provide longer life than incandescent and provide sensitivity for a wider range of colors than red light sources.
• Red LED: Red LED’s respond to a limited number of color combinations, but give longer sensing distances.
•RGB: Combination of Red, Green, and Blue LED’s. Largest selection of colors.

Operation
Ultrasonic sensors utilize high frequency sound energy (above the audible range - ultrasound) to measure distance or detect objects. These devices transmit a burst of ultrasound energy, then wait for a return echo. By precisely calculating the time distance can be determined.

Reed Sensors
Reed sensors, or more commonly referred to as switches. Reed switches are commonly used on cylinders to indicate end of stroke position. They consist of two thin metal reeds which open and close when a magnet passes by. This design gives a very fast action(for mechanical switches) and produces a maintained signal as long as the magnet is present.

Physical Construction
The reeds are always mounted in a nitrogen filled glass tube which may be enclosed in another housing for protection against breakage. The clean nitrogen atmosphere assures long contact life for greater reliability. The contact arrangement is always single-pole, single-throw and can be either N.O. or N.C.

VRSVariable reluctance sensors are completely self powered sensing devices that do not require an external voltage source to operate. They are generally used to provide speed sensing data for feedback and control of rotary motion mechanical components, or devices. (Tachometers)

VRSThe output of a VRS produces an AC voltage signal. This signal varies in amplitude and wave shape as the speed of the monitored device changes. The most commonly used with a metal gear. Other appropriate targets are bolt heads, keys, keyways, magnets, and holes in metal disks.

VRSA permanent magnet is the heart of the VRS sensor and establishes a fixed magnetic field. An output is generated by the changing strength of this field caused by the approach and departure of a ferrous metal target. This disturbance in the magnetic field varies the reluctance, or the “or the resistance of flow” in the magnetic field which in turn dynamically changes the strength of the field. This change in the magnetic field strength induces a current into a coil winding which is attached to the output terminals of the sensor.

C O M P A N Y
Magneto Resistive SensorsMagneto Resistive devices contain a highly sensitive bridge circuit which reacts to the movement of ferromagnetic gear teeth. This imbalance of the bridge circuit is amplified to create the output signal. Because these are power devices, there is virtually no low speed limitations with this style sensor.
