They can detect targets from a distance of few millimeters to several meters, Ultrasonic sensors use a sound emitter unit to produce a sound wave that is detected by receiver. When the wave is broken or reflected, a presence is detected, ‘The emitter work by exciting an acoustic transducer with voltage pulses, causing the transducer to vibrate ultrasonically. The oscillations are directed at a target, and, by measuring the time echo to return to the receiver, the target distance is calculated, If they are used as on-off sensors, 10 distance is computed, but a signal is generated when an obstacle is detected in a defined space interval. ‘The types of sensors illustrated in this module are: ic source and receiver) i ‘Through beam (ultras In through beam ultrasonic detectors, the emitter and receiver are separate and positioned opposite one another, so that the sound wave from the emitter goes to the receiver. This scanning, mode gives maximum reliability, since there is little chance of false reflections from false objects to the receiver, When installing several adjacent through-scan detectors, the emitter of one should be positioned next to the receiver of the next, to avoid one receiver detecting the sound wave emitted from the other, Figure 3 Through beam ultrasonic sensor| ULTRASONIC SENSORS STUDYING MODULE jp (_meossoors¢e | GRo308/0003360 | Reflective (reflects sound wave from object) i d beam is In diffuse scanning, the emitter and receiver share the same housing, and the emitte reflected to the receiver directly from the target. | <—__—_—— 21 sound wave ; Emiter and recelver Figure 4 Reflective ultrasonic sensor it ‘ion of a specific This mode is used when it space considerations are important ae speci target is required.
