Anatomy of a Fiber Optic Solution
Amplifier
To PLC & Power
Supply
Fiber Head
4
Digital Fiber Amplifier
Purpose: Contains Light Emitter & Receiver
Calibration: Pushbutton or Potentiometer (Trim-pot)
Display: No display, Single display, or Double display
5
Fiber Optic Sensor Heads
Purpose: Provide pathway for transmitted &
received light
Reflective
Types: Thru-beam, reflective, retro-reflective
Shapes: Cylindrical, threaded, flat, sleeved
Thru-beam
Specialty Fibers: High temperature, robotic
high flex, chemical or oil resistant, area beam,
liquid level, etc.
Q: Who can tell me the difference between a thru-beam
and a reflective style design?
