Each sensor can function in five sensing modes and has two output states (NO or NC), reducing typical product part numbers required by a factor of 10. The target can be moving in either axial or radial orientation, and the sensor will detect it.īy applying OSIConcept to photoelectric sensors, Schneider’s team developed multi-mode photoelectric sensors capable of operating accurately in diffuse environments and with background suppression. The ”flat pack”-style sensor is programmable to detect when just a portion of the face senses the target, or just where on the face the target is. When the user presses a button, the product runs in ”each” mode to set the maximum sensing distance. This Square D/Telemecanique XS Rectangular proximity sensor line has been designed to eliminate problems like sensitivity to metal environments, setup, and mounting. The result was a concept called Offering Simplicity through Intelligence (OSIConcept), and the resulting sensor family was named Global Detection. Among photoelectrics, selecting the proper type was the biggest problem, followed by installation time, and users wanted ”componentized” limit switches to minimize inventory. Users reported mechanical and electrical setup problems with proximity sensors.
For more than three years, a worldwide team of sensor experts from Schneider Electric’s Square D and Telemechanique divisions gathered to design sensors that could solve problems in the field.
