Patent number: 10061026Abstract: A photoelectric sensor includes the following components. A disturbance detection unit detects a disturbance by comparing a light reception result obtained by a light receiver with a first threshold and with a second threshold for a predetermined period in a state where no light is transmitted by a light transmitter. The second threshold takes a value of a sign opposite to that of the first threshold relative to a no-signal state. A waiting unit waits for the light reception result obtained by the light receiver to become within a range from the first threshold to the second threshold upon detection of a disturbance. A disturbance type determination unit causes detection of a disturbance to be performed again after the waiting. A light transmission instruction unit instructs the light transmitter to transmit light when no disturbance is detected for a predetermined period.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: AZBIL CORPORATIONInventors: Minoru Tanaka, Hiroshi Hatanaka, Takayuki Hosoi
