Working Principle
The working principle of the DAIDISIKE AC two-wire inductive proximity sensor is based on electromagnetic induction. Specifically, the sensor contains a high-frequency oscillation circuit internally, which generates an alternating magnetic field. When a metal object (target) enters the sensor's sensing area, eddy currents are induced in the target, altering the impedance and amplitude of the oscillation circuit. The sensor detects this change and, through an internal amplifier and comparator circuit, converts the signal into a switch output.
Detailed process:
1. Oscillator Generates Magnetic Field: The front-end coil of the sensor produces a high-frequency magnetic field (typically several hundred kHz).
2. Target Approaches: The metal object enters the magnetic field, absorbs energy, and generates eddy currents, causing field attenuation.
3. Detects Change: The oscillator's amplitude or frequency change is captured by the detection circuit.
4. Signal Processing: Through threshold comparison, outputs a switch signal (NO or NC).
5. Two-Wire Design: Power and signal are transmitted via the same pair of wires, simplifying the circuit; the load is connected in series in the power loop, and when the sensor activates, current changes drive the load. Since it is AC-powered, the sensor accommodates alternating current supply, with output directly switching the AC load.
This non-contact detection avoids mechanical wear, enhancing lifespan (typically over 10^7 operations). In professional terms, this is an "Inductive Proximity Sensor," compliant with IEC 60947-5-2 standards, commonly used for "Position Sensing" and "Presence Detection." Compared to DC versions, AC two-wire sensors are better suited for high-voltage environments and offer stronger resistance to electrical noise, though with lower switching frequencies. The core of detection is energy transfer via eddy current losses, applicable to ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metals.
