  2. Synchronous Serial Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_Serial_Interface

    Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) is a widely used serial interface standard for industrial applications between a master (e.g. controller) and a slave (e.g. sensor). SSI is based on RS-422 [1] standards and has a high protocol efficiency in addition to its implementation over various hardware platforms, making it very popular among sensor manufacturers.

  3. Position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_sensor

    A position sensor is a sensor that detects an object's position. A position sensor may indicate the absolute position of the object (its location) or its relative position (displacement) in terms of linear travel, rotational angle or three-dimensional space. Common types of position sensors include the following: Capacitive displacement sensor

  4. Variable reluctance sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_reluctance_sensor

    A VR sensor used as a simple proximity sensor can determine the position of a mechanical link in a piece of industrial equipment. A crankshaft position sensor (in an automobile engine) is used to provide the angular position of the crankshaft to the engine control unit. The engine control unit can then calculate engine speed (angular velocity).

  5. Position sensitive device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_sensitive_device

    The most common sensor applications with a sampling rate of less than 1000 Hz are CCD or CMOS cameras. The sensor is partitioned into individual pixels whose exposure value can be read out sequentially. The position of the light spot can be computed with the methods of photogrammetry directly from the brightness distribution.

  6. Linear encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_encoder

    A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position. The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal, which can then be decoded into position by a digital readout (DRO) or motion controller. The encoder can be either incremental or absolute.

  7. Lane departure warning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane_departure_warning_system

    Lane assist camera of VW Golf Mobileye's PCB and camera sensor from a Hyundai Lane Guidance camera module. Lane warning/keeping systems are based on: Video sensors in the visual domain (mounted behind the windshield, typically integrated beside the rear mirror) Laser sensors (mounted on the front of the vehicle)

  8. Output signal switching device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_Signal_Switching_Device

    The device usually acts as the interface of a sensor (such as a light curtain), designed to signal a safety-related event, typically when the light curtain beam's being "broken". OSSD signals are the outputs from the protective device (light curtain or scanner) to a safety relay .

  9. Collision avoidance system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_avoidance_system

    This aids in maintaining lane position at a pre-set speed and keeping a proper following distance from the vehicle ahead. The system also includes active lane change assist with hands-off function, which executes lane changes when the driver activates the turn signal and adjusts the vehicle’s speed accordingly.
