Definitions
- the invention relates to a sensor according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Sensors for example for optoelectronic monitoring of a given one Surrounding area have a transmitter, a receiver and an electronics unit for controlling the transmitter and for evaluating the received signals on. Furthermore, an I / O unit (input / output unit) is provided, which has an external interface for connecting external devices to the sensor.
- the disadvantage of the known sensors is that all of the aforementioned Elements are firmly arranged in a housing, so that an individual adjustment to external devices in the sense of a change or extension or a individual adaptation to operational purposes is not easily possible.
- a completely differently configured sensor can be used, such as for using the sensor on a self-driving vehicle, e.g. for material transport. There is a separate sensor for each application to provide the configured sensor.
- the object of the invention is to improve the functionality of the sensor.
- the basic idea of the sensor according to the invention is to split it into two modules to divide, namely on the one hand into a sensor head module with transmitter, receiver and associated electronics unit for the control and provision of signals and on the other hand in an I / O module with an internal interface to the sensor head as well as with one or more external interfaces for connecting external Equipment.
- the I / O module is designed to be exchangeable, i.e. it is on the sensor head module arranged.
- the sensor head module thus forms together with the I / O module an entire unit, the sensor head module without the I / O module is not functional.
- the I / O module determines the external wiring options.
- the I / O module contains the electrical signals from the sensor head module are delivered, evaluated according to the respective application and implemented, for example to output switching signals. In one application, in which the sensor is used to monitor an area, such Switching signals e.g. the presence of objects in the surveillance area specify.
- the modular design creates a sensor in which the functionality is significantly increased.
- the sensor head module with transmitter, receiver and associated electronics, which is the essential element of the sensor, always designed and the same also be configured immediately. So with just a few sensor head modules and a few I / O modules a large variety of different sensors for the most varied Applications and uses can be obtained, which has significant cost advantages offers.
- I / O module can operate simultaneously has one or more external interfaces, which is therefore very simple are designed to be interchangeable with the I / O module, so that the most varied external devices can be connected without a completely new one Sensor configured with the appropriate interface in software and / or hardware would have to be constructed.
- the internal interface can advantageously designed as a direct connector using a plug and socket his.
- I / O module is arranged in a housing recess of the sensor head module. This means that the I / O module is easily inserted into the sensor housing is activated and the plug connection is activated. This makes it compact Unit of the sensor consisting of the sensor head module and the I / O module created, which can also be designed visually appealing.
- the training according to claim 5 proposes that to the external Interface of the I / O module a system module can be connected.
- this system module is a so-called system connector, which the individual Customer cable connection and device replacement easier can. It may be advantageous to have different I / O modules with different external ones Provide interfaces to connect different system plugs to be able to increase the variety and functionality.
- An embodiment of a sensor according to the invention is based on the drawing described, which the three modules of the Sensor represents perspective.
- the sensor has two basic modules, namely a sensor head module 1 and one I / O module 2.
- the sensor head module 1 has a housing 3, in which (in the representation of the Drawing not visible) a transmitter, a receiver and an electronics unit for the control of the sensor and the provision of the received Electrical signals corresponding to light signals are arranged.
- the in the Drawing visible rear of the housing 3 has a housing recess 4th on, in which a plug or socket of an internal interface 5 in the lower Area is arranged.
- the I / O module 2 also has a housing 6. Inside is located a corresponding electronics unit for the evaluation of those received from the sensor head Signals. On the back of the sensor head module 1 I / O module is (not visible) a socket or a plug of the internal Interface 5. The top of the I / O module 2 also has an external interface 7 on, for example, a system module 8 in the form of a so-called system connector can be connected to the I / O module 2.
- the I / O module 2 can be replaced and be inserted into the housing recess 4 of the housing 3.
- the internal Interface 5 between these two modules 1, 2 contacted.
- the one used I / O module 2 corresponds to the desired application, so that only through the Combination of sensor head 1 and I / O module 2 a certain desired sensor variant with certain properties.
