Proximity sensor for e.g. determining braking and acceleration operating regions, has switching point evaluation unit that provides digital output signal with data about detected measurement interval and output connection

摘要

The proximity sensor (10) has a switching point evaluation unit (32) that provides a digital output signal containing information about the detected measurement interval lying above or below a preset switching point and the output connection (36) provided for the digital output signal. The proximity sensor has evaluation units (18,26) that generate analog output signal based on the measurement interval (S) between a detected object (12) and an oscillator (14). The generated analog output signal is released through an output connection (28).
