Abstract

This study investigates the static and dynamic characteristics of optoelectronic discrete displacement transducers, with a focus on those utilizing hollow and fiber light guides. These transducers are widely employed in industrial automation due to their simplicity, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and manufacturability. However, certain applications, such as liquid level sensing, object inclination measurement, and automatic piece counting on conveyor lines, remain underdeveloped and understudied. The research examines the reliability of these transducers and their compatibility with microprocessors, highlighting their ability to efficiently convert various physical quantities into discrete outputs by modulating light flux parameters as it propagates from source to receiver. This capability allows for seamless integration with modern monitoring and control systems, presenting significant opportunities for advancement in optoelectronic conversion technology. The study aims to address the growing demand for refined optoelectronic discrete converters that meet contemporary monitoring and control system requirements. By exploring the potential of these transducers in diverse applications, this work contributes to the broader understanding of optoelectronic converters and their role in monitoring and controlling various technological processes. The findings have implications for improving the design and implementation of optoelectronic discrete displacement transducers in industrial settings, potentially leading to more efficient and accurate automation systems.
