BEHAVIOUR OF PROXIMITY SENSORS

AIM
1) To observe the behaviour of inductive proximity sensor and capacitive
proximity sensor for different material samples.
2) To interface relay and buzzer with sensor to test the output.

APPARATUS REQUIRED
1) Proximity sensors (inductive and capacitive).
2) 24 V DC Power Supply P P A G A M

3) 24 V DC Relay with 8 Pin


4) 12 V Buzzer
5) Connecting Wires

TESTING MATERIALS
+ Various materials such as Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Copper,
Plastic, Rubber, Wood, Bottle with Water,

PROCEDURE
To observe the behaviour f inductive proximity sensor
1) Connect the inductive sensor to a power source.
2) Place various samples (metallic and non-metallic) near the sensor.
3) Observe the sensor's response (LED indicator)
4) The sensor detects metallic objects. No response to non-metallic materials.

Circuit connection:
1) Connect the +ve teminal of sensor (Brown wire) to +ve teminal of DOCpower supply.
2) Connect the -ve teminal of sensor (Blue wire) to -ve terminal of DC power supply.
3) Connect the +ve teminal of relay (Teminal 2) to +ve teminal of DC power supply.
4) Connect the -ve terminal of relay (Terminal 7) to -ve terminal of DCpower supply.
5) Connect the output of the sensor (Black wire) to the relay input (Teminal 8)
6) Connect one teminal of the buzzer to the NO terminal of the relay (Terminal 6).
7) Connect the other terminal of the buzzer to -ve terminal of DC power supply.

Testing:
8) Switch ON the circuit. AM
9) Place a sample near the sensor.
10) When the sensor detects the object, the relay triggers and the the buzzer gives
sound. It confirms that the interfacing is working correctly.

RESULTS
1) The behaviour of inductive proximity sensor and capacitive proximity sensor
is observed for different material samples.
2) The relay and buzzer are interfaced with sensors. The output is tested.
