Description and usage

Photoeyes are used to track and send back signals to the PLC as to the whereabouts of packages. They send an infrared beam of light out that's broken when a package crosses its path. There are color sensing photo eyes available that can actually determine different colors, meaning you can send different color totes or boxes down different paths. Also available are proxie switches; they sense an object just by its presence, but the tolerance is much tighter.
