Magnetic proximity switches

As opposed to limit switches, proximity switches are contact-free and require no external actuating force.

Describe the set-up and function of a magnetic proximity switch (reed switch).

They consist of two contact reeds which are located in a glass "
tube which is filled with inert gas. When a magnetic force is
applied, the two reeds make contact enabling electrical current
to flow.

In the case of reed switches, which function as NC contacts, the Ii

contact blades are preloaded with small magnets. This
pre loading is overpowered by the significantly stronger
switching magnet.

Magnetic proximity switches

As regards the polarity of the output signal, there are two different types of electronic proximity switches:
PNP and NPN.

- Explain the difference between these two different designs.

Pressure switches
Pressure-sensitive sensors, so-called pressure switches, are used in order to measure and monitor pressure
within the system.

Pressure switches
Pressure sensors can be subdivided into two groups. Differentiation is made between:
• Pressure sensors with mechanical contact (mechanical mode of operation)
• Pressure sensors with electronic switching (electronic mode of operation)

Describe the task and function of the pressure switch depicted below.

Description: task and function Orcuit symbol Schematic drawing

Pressure switches are used in order to Electrical

generate an electrical output signal when
a specified pressure is reached.

In the case of this mechanical pressure

p u~
~ 2
switch, pressure acts on the surface of a 3
piston. If the force generated by prevailing
pressure exceeds the force of the spring
used, the piston moves and actuates the Pneumatic
change-over contact points. Switching -4

~
pressure can be adjusted by preloading
the spring, which is why this pressure
sensor is called a pressure switch.

Selecting proximity switches

The end positions of a cylinder drive are to be sensed with proximity switches. The proximity switches must
fulfil the following requirements:
• The piston rod's end positions must be sensed in a contactless fashion.
• The proximity switches must be insensitive to dust.
• The cylinder's piston rod and trip cam are made of metal.

- Make your selection and indicate which proximity switches fulfil the specified requirements. Enter your
selection in the table below and justify your choice.

Sequence description

- Set up the control system and describe the operating sequence.

Initial position
In its initial position, cylinder 1A1 is in the retracted end position.
When cylinder 1A1 is in its retracted end position, magnetic proximity switch 1B1 is actuated (NO
contact), relay Kl is energised and change-over contact Kl (connected as an NO contact) in current path 7
is closed.
