SENSORS
2 Classification of Sensor based on Output• Discrete (sometimes called digital, logic,
or bang-bang) - sensors provide a single logical output (a zero or one)
• Proportional (sometimes called analog) - provide an analog output. The output may be a voltage, current, resistance, or even a digital word containing a discrete value.
For discrete sensors, there are two types of outputs
• the NPN or sinking output,
• the PNP or sourcing output

Interference from other magnetic fields must be avoided.
If positioned in mid stroke, switching point will vary depending on direction of appoach.
Maximum current must be limited to avoid burning of the reed contacts.
