As you evaluate different sensors on the market, you will need to determine if they are able to determine process parameters, for instance pressure, temperature, flow and torque. You will also need to figure out if the sensors are able to determine the presence of an object, the position of an object or mechanism, and the distance to a target.


TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT IMAGE SENSOR FOR YOUR CAMERA • Another thing you will need to check when evaluating different image sensors on the market is the control interface. You will need to determine the kind of controller interface and switching logic needed. You will need to determine whether or not PNP or NPS sensor outputs are required for the controller and also if NO or NC or dark or light switching state is required. • Wiring type is another thing that you should definitely evaluate when you are looking for the right image sensor for your camera. When determining the wiring type, you will need to decide on how you want to make an electrical connection. The most common connection types are M12 and M8. • Last but not least, you will need to determine if there are any special requirements when choosing the image sensor.
