What kinds of outputs are available on photoelectric sensors?
There are two output types commonly used in tablet-counting applications. The first is a dedicated output to verify tablet count. The second is an alarm output to indicate anomalies in the process such as a blocked die or a low optical signal. In some instances a third output type, a health alarm output, can be used to monitor the operating condition of the sensor. Banner can incorporate any or all of these outputs in the sensor of your choice.
