Electro-pneumatic Combination of electrical and pneumatic system

Used when the process is repeating and setup cost is low

But

◦ Maintenance – troubleshooting is very complex

◦ Structure – circuit structure is messy when involving complex design

Relay

◦ On/Off switch

Solenoid

◦ Single valve solenoid Double valve solenoid

Connection

Proximity Sensors

• Sensors that are able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact.

•A proximity sensor often emits:

1) Electromagnetic or electrostatic field

2) A beam of electromagnetic radiation (infrared, etc)

and looks for changes in the field or return signal.

•The object being sensed -> proximity sensor's target.

•Different proximity sensor targets demand different sensors:

Inductive proximity sensor -> metal target.

Capacitive sensor -> high density target

Photoelectric sensor -> reflective target

Symbol

Inductive Sensor

Inductive sensor is used to sense only metal type of object.

ON

OFF

• Detects all conductive materials

• Best conductor is mild steel

• The sensor performance relies on temperature, the target material and its area.

Capacitive Sensor

Capacitive sensor is used to sense only high density objects

• Detects all materials with densities higher than air.

• Sensitivity is adjustable

• No suitable to use in dusty environments

Optical Sensor

Optical sensor is used to sense only reflective type of object.

Transmitter (T) / Receiver (R)

Optical Sensors

Type : Diffuse

• Detection distance: less than reflex type, actual distance depends on colour and surface smoothness

• Larger targets enables a longer detection distance

• No suitable in dirty environments
