Object detection sensor
Object detection sensor having a control device, at least one signal input / output and an integrated bus interface (CAN) for connecting the sensor to a data bus is characterized.
Abstract
Object detection sensor having a control device (19), at least one signal input / output (IN1, IN2, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) and an integrated bus interface (CAN) for connecting the sensor to a data bus (25), characterized, that the signal input / output (IN1, IN2, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) is optionally switchable: - in an I / O configuration in which is connected for reading in control or signaling data to the control means (19) or for the output of control or signaling data from the control means of the signal input / output to the control device (19), or - is connected to a bus coupling configuration in which to couple at least one further sensor / actuator (21, 23, 27, 29) to the data bus of the signal input / output to the integrated bus interface (CAN).
