Proximity Sensor Soft-Device

Overview

Each configured Proximity Sensor Soft-Device provides one contact state digital input through a two or a three wire interface.  Compared to wiring a proximity sensor to a PLC or conventional I/O system where you need to wire the power conductor to the positive side of the power supply and the ground conductor to the negative side of the power supply, with Soft-I/O, you simply hook up two or three wires to any pins of the module.  Soft-I/O supplies the power, ground and accepts the signal, whether it is sourcing or sinking or even open collector!  What could be simpler?

Proximity Sensor Soft DeviceFeatures

  • Two or three wire interface
  • Soft-I/O supplies power to device
  • Supply power choice of 5V or 24V
  • User editable state names
  • State inverse settings
  • De-bounce time
  • Flexible pin assignments
  • Non-volatile saving of settings
  • Flexible tags for remote control

In Action

Typical sensors used with this Soft-Device include capacitive and inductive proximity sensors which are generally employed to sense metallic objects.

Technical Specifications

Each configured Proximity Sensor Soft-Device provides one proximity state digital input.  Each user-supplied proximity sensor is connected to the Soft-I/O module with two or three wires. The module supplies power, and that simplifies wiring.  Non-volatile, user-configurable parameters include: Soft-I/O module supplied 24 V or 5 V power selection; 2 or 3 wire sensor support; state naming and inversion; debounce time; and Soft-I/O pin assignments.  Typical sensors used with this Soft-Device include capacitive and inductive proximity sensors.
