Study Notes
Difference Between Analog and Digital I/O
- Analog I/O detects or controls events with a range of values.
- Digital I/O operates in binary, managing yes/no or on/off scenarios.
Analog Input Devices
- Force Sensors: Measure applied forces, can be fixed or attached to robots.
- Potentiometers: Used in various applications such as control knobs or motor position detection.
- Light Sensors: Detect the intensity of light; used in photoelectric sensors for object distance measurement.
- Vision Sensors: Measure light levels, functioning similarly to light sensors.
Analog Output Devices
- Conveyor Belt Motor Speed: Allows integration of belt speed control into robot systems for advanced applications.
- Analog Control Valves: Precision devices for managing fluid release in hydraulic systems.
- Lamp Brightness: Brightness levels of LEDs or lamps can be finely adjusted.
Digital Input Devices
- Limit Switches: Systems that detect conditions, such as safety doors opening or robots reaching predefined limits.
- Basic Part Detection Sensors: Identify the presence of objects to facilitate part tracking.
- Single-Beam Laser Safety Sensors: Utilize a laser beam interruption to signal entry into unsafe areas.
- Push Buttons: Simple yet crucial devices for initiating or halting pre-programmed sequences.
Digital Output Devices
- Relays: Switches that enable low-power electronics to control high-power circuits.
- Warning Lights: Illuminate to indicate robot operation, serving as a safety alert for workers in the vicinity.
