CONCLUSION
REFRENCES
A Proximity Sensor Detects An Object When The Object
Approaches Within The Detection Range And Boundary Of The Sensor.
The Coil Generates The High Frequency Magnetic Field In Front Of The
Face. When The Metallic Target Comes In This Magnetic Field It
Absorbs Some Of The Energy
Hence the oscillator field is affected. The rise or fall of such
oscillation is identified by a threshold circuit..that changes the
output of the sensor.
ADVANTAGES
they are very accurate compared to other technologies.
DISADVANTAGES
It can detect only metallic target.
The Plate Inside The Sensor Acts As One Plate Of The Capacitor And The
Target Acts As Another Plate And The Air Acts As The Dielectric Between
The Plates.
The Capacitive Sensor Can Detect Any Targets Whose Dielectric Constant Is
More Than Air
Cont..
As the object comes close to the plate of the capacitor the
capacitance increases and as the object moves away the
capacitance decreases
an electronic circuit inside the sensor begins to oscillate. The
rise or the fall of such oscillation is identified by a threshold
circuit and based on that output switches.
ADVANTAGES
It can detect both metallic and non metallic targets.
Good stability
High Speed
Capacitive sensors are good in terms of power usage
Low cost
