  • Configurable photoelectric cell
    Patent number: 6355924
    Abstract: Photoelectric cell with means of configuring the operating mode. The cell has several optosensitive zones 11, 12, D capable of outputting magnitudes that are activated or processed in different manners, by configuration and/or processing means 7, 19. The cell may thus be used in reflex mode, proximity mode or proximity with background elimination mode. Amplifying parts 16a, 16b are provided at the side of the optosensitive zones to amplify electrical magnitudes before routing them to the microcontroller 19 in the processing circuit 6.
