APPENDIX B
USING PHOTO-SENSORS
HTM Electronics Industries (http://www.htm–sensors.com) and Banner Engineering Corp.
(http://www.bannerengineering.com) and several other manufacturers make photoelectric sen-
sors that do not require de-bouncing. The HTM Electronics MP-D0380D-CX9Q4UE infrared
sensor, and the Banner Engineering R55F series photoelectric sensors and the SM312
LVAGMHSQD photoelectric sensor have been used successfully with the Vision Appliance.
These sensors are rated to operate on 10 to 30 VDC.
The following diagram shows how to connect these photoelectric sensors. The wiring is:
Brown - Power (+16 to +30 Volts DC)
Blue - Ground
Black - Signal from photoelectric sensor. Goes high (to about the power voltage) when trig-
gered.
The other two wires are not needed for using the sensor with the Breakout Board. These two wires
are:
White - Signal from photoelectric sensor – connects a small load to ground (see sensor specifi-
cation)
Gray - Can be connected to a switch to ground; when closed, enables Remote Teach
The photoelectric sensor draws power from the brown and blue leads. When the photoelectric
sensor is triggered the output (black lead) goes high (to about the power supply voltage).
