TRANSDUCER:- is any device that converts energy from one form to
another Classification 1- Input transducer non electrical Electrical 2- output transducer Electrical non electrical SENSORS :- Detection, Measurement converts mechanical, magnetic , thermal, optical or chemical variation into the electrical voltage and current
Proximity sensors or switches are the pilot devices that detect the presence of an object (Target ) without physical contact.
1- encapsulated 2- some time object being detected is two small 3- Rapid response, High switching application counting, ejection control application 4- an object has to sense through non metallic barriers such as glass, plastic long life and reliable 5- a fast electronic control system required a bounce input
