STATIC AND DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF OPTOELECTRONIC DISCRETE CONVERTERS FOR AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENT OF DISPLACEMENTS AND DIMENSIONS

This article shows the static and dynamic characteristics of optoelectronic discrete displacement transducers, as well as the reliability of optoelectronic discrete displacement transducers with hollow and fiber light guides. Optoelectronic converters based on hollow and fiber light guides, due to their simple and reliable designs, cost-effectiveness and manufacturability, are widely used for automation in various production processes. Among optoelectronic converters based on hollow and fiber light guides, discrete converters for the level of liquids, the inclination of various objects, devices for automatic counting of piece products on conveyor lines, and others have not been sufficiently developed and studied. Optoelectronic converters based on hollow and fiber light guides are compatible with microprocessors and are capable of efficiently and discretely converting various physical quantities that, at the input of the converter, changing the parameters of the light flux as it propagates from the source to the radiation receiver. The challenge of developing and refining optoelectronic discrete converters based on hollow and fiber light guides (ODC) that satisfy contemporary monitoring and control system requirements greatly advances the field's understanding of optoelectronic converters based on ODCs as well as monitoring and control systems for a range of technological processes.
