A detector can symbolize an inductive proximity sensor, a capacitance proximity sensor or a photoelectric sensor.
Configuration of a photoelectric sensor
This window allows :
• the choice of the orientation of the photoelectric sensor to be dropped ;
• the range of detection ;
• the "sensitive" objects ;
• the type of contact.
In the editing mode, the effective range is displayed by a red line.
The objects displayed on the screen page are not necessarily all detectable.
A detected object is surrounded by a red rectangle, characterizing it as detectable object.
This makes it possible to simulate an inductive or a capacitance proximity sensor, or photoelectric sensors sensitive to various colours.
As for the other objects, a right click on a sensor displays a contextual
menu allowing :
Editing this object (No – Nc, editing the mnemonic and its description) ;
its deletion.
Dragging an object with the mouse through the field of a sensor activates it.
In certain applications, this behavior can be awkward, but the menu :"Parameters – Deactivate detection of the seized objects" makes it possible to modify this behavior according to your requirements, and the green led located in the toolbar shows this activation.
End switches, see Jacks.
Level detection, see Tanks.
