1.2 Basic Configuration

1.2.1 Sensor Head

An eddy current flows in the object (metal) to attenuate the amplitude of the
coil, as an object (metal) is placed nearer in the high frequency magnetic
field generating from the built-in coil. The amount of attenuation is detected
and transmitted to the controller.

1.2.2 Controller

A sensor head is connected and the displacement between the object (metal)
and sensor head is measured and displayed. The displacement is output as
a voltage. Judgment by comparing to a reference value is performed and
output. The controller has various functions to make it applicable to the likes
of inspection, judgment and positioning.

1.2.3 Controller Communication Unit and Link Cable (Optional)

Multiple controllers are connected and calculation and control are performed.
(The analog voltage output of the calculation result cannot be used.)

1.2.4 BCD Output Unit (Optional)

The amount of displacement is output as a BCD code.

1.2.5 Cable with Connector on One End for BCD Output Unit (Optional)

1.2.6 Extension Cable for Sensor Head (Optional)

The controller and sensor head are placed at a distance. (A 7m extension
cable is prepared.)

1.2.7 Intelligent Monitor Software (Optional)

Runs on a PC for data management and control of the controller.
