TPS
3.
Applications
The TPS sensor uses the two light beams in
different ways.
3.1.
TPS 100: Presence detection
Figure 1: Function of TPS 100
If an object interrupts either beam, one shared
output is switched. The trigger level can be adjusted
according to the application requirements. The
sensor can be tested with a simple pulse using the
test input.
3.2.
TPS 200: Level detection
Figure 2: Function of TPS 200
With individually adjusted trigger levels on each
beam, the unit detects objects of different height.
Each of the two outputs represents the status of one
beam with its related trigger level.
3.3.
TPS 210: Direction recognition
Figure 3: Function of TPS 210
The unit recognizes the direction of passing objects
and sends a pulse to the corresponding output.

Main functions
Adjusting the trigger level and gap between different
sensors is highly important. Following these simple
guidelines will enable perfect detection with the TPS
family.
With separately adjustable trigger levels on each
beam, the TPS can be used for different detection
heights. The operation range is between 0.1 m to
2 m from the device. The trigger level can be
adjusted manually from 0.3 m up to 2 m in order to
determine the preferred detection range.
