EGE ULM Through Beam Sensors Opto Sensor has System Description
The Opto Edge controller consists of an amplifier to which two fiber-optic cables of up to 10 m in length can be connected via a rapid action coupling. The first fiber-optic cable routes a send signal generated by the amplifier to a first optical converter (ULM Through Beam Sensors Transmitter), while the second fiber-optic cable(ULM Through Beam Sensors Reciever) returns a send signal detected by a second optical converter to the amplifier as a receiving signal. This receiving signal is processed further in the amplifier into an output control signal.
The Opto Edge controller works with infra-red light which issues extremely short and fast impulse sequences that enable reliable recording of rapidly occurring processes, even in the presence of influences from external rays. The process control system which is determined by the user, as well as the design of the optical converter, demands a high degree of flexibility from the system.
