About Proximity Sensors
A proximity sensor detects the presence of an object or person without needing to physically touch it.
When choosing a proximity sensor for your system, consider these key specifications:
- Operating range or distance: How far away can the sensor detect an object?
- Operating temperature: What temperature range can the sensor function in?
- AC or DC power: What type of power supply does the sensor require?
- Output: What kind of signal does the sensor output (current, voltage, resistance, frequency)?
- Load: What type of load (AC or DC) can the sensor handle?
- Switch type: Is the switch normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC)?
- Interface type: Does the sensor use a specific serial interface or other communication protocol?
