Introduction

Optical sensors are light-sensitive devices that detect light in a variety of wavelengths, usually visible, infrared, or ultraviolet. Photointerrupters are particular types of optical sensor that can detect the presence of an object, typically when it passes in front of an emitter and receiver of light. Typical applications include item counting and motion detection. This article will discuss the EE-SX4160-W11 slot-type photointerrupter and its application field and working principle.

Application Field

The EE-SX4160-W11 is a 3-pin logic output slot-type photointerrupter. It is a compact, light-weight device designed for use in industrial automation, counter applications, and motor/heater control systems. This photointerrupter can operate with DC power supplies between 5 and 24 V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is designed to detect objects of any material that can block the emitter in the device from the receiver. This photointerrupter is especially useful for applications that require a precise position detection in a small footprint. Its slim, compact design and long sensing distance makes it ideal for use in confined spaces or when there is not much space to install electrical equipment. With its easy-to-install and maintain design, it also provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for many industrial automation applications.

Working Principle

The EE-SX4160-W11 operates by emitting a light beam from the LED in the device to a special optical receiver. When the beam is disrupted by a foreign object, the receiver switches the photointerrupter’s output from low to high. This change can be used to detect whether an object is present or absent from the device’s field of view. The photointerrupter’s logic output is designed to be used with a variety of logic circuits, including DTL, TTL, CMOS, and PLD. This allows for the device to be used with a wide range of systems and environments. Additionally, the device maintains high-level output even when it operates at a low-level supply voltage, allowing for greater reliability in the system’s output.

Conclusion

The EE-SX4160-W11 slot-type photointerrupter is a reliable and cost-effective piece of equipment that is designed for use in industrial automation and motion detection. It is a 3-pin logic output device that operates with DC power supplies between 5 and 24 V. It can detect objects of any material that can block the emitter from the receiver, and when the beam is disrupted, the receiver switches the output from low to high. The device is compatible with a variety of logic circuits, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
