DNC Automation is also a sensor distributor by Schneider Electric. There are many type of sensors which are photo-electric sensors, Inductive proximity sensors, Capacitive proximity sensor, Ultrasonic sensors, and Sensors for pressure control.
Sensor is a very important device that is needed in an industry. Thus, the sensors application is depending on user's needs. It can be linked with other device such as PLC as the controller, HMI or motor.
Vital Detection Function
The detection function is vital because it is the first link in the chain of information for an industrial process. In automation system, sensor collects data according to:
- all the events that are required to control it, so it can be controlled by the contol systems
- the progess of the various stages of the process when program is executed
The Various Detection Function
Detection requirements are extremely varied. The most basic needs are:
- monitoring presence, absence or position of an object;
- verifying passing, travel or blocking of objects;
- counting.
