What Is Capacitance Sensor ?
• A capacitive sensor is a sensor that detects nearby objects by their effect on the electrical field created by the sensor.
• Capacitive sensors can sense conducting and non-conducting materials in solid or liquid form.
• Acts as detecting the inner material

CAPACITIVE PROXIMITY SENSING

• The sensor consists of : -A capacitive probe plate -An oscillator -A signal level detector -A solid-state output switching device -An adjustment potentiometer
• Similar in size, shape, generate electrostatic field and reacts to changes in capacitance caused when a target enters the electrostatic field.
![Page 8: Capacitive Sensor](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020102/563db77e550346aa9a8b8c4e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• The oscillator is inactive when target is outside the electrostatic field
• Target approaches, capacitive coupling develops between target and capacitive probe
• Oscillator is activated when capacitance reaches specified threshold, triggering the output circuit to switch states between ON and OFF

• Factors of ability to detect : -target’s size -dielectric constant -distance from the sensor
• The higher the target’s size, the stronger the capacitive coupling between probe and target
• The higher the dielectric constant, the easier to detect the target. The shorter the distance, the stronger the capacitive coupling
![Page 11: Capacitive Sensor](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020102/563db77e550346aa9a8b8c4e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How it works ?• With shielded capacitive sensor -shielded sensors have a metal band surrounding
the probe
-shielded construction allows sensor to be mounted flush in surrounding material without causing false trigger
-this shielded sensors are best suited for sensing materials with low dielectric constants (difficult to sense) as a result of their highly concentrated electrostatic fields.

• With unshielded capacitive sensors -unshielded sensors do not have a metal band
-it is more suitable compared than shielded types for use with plastic sensor wells
-this unshielded sensors are well suited for detecting high dielectric constant (easy to sense) materials
- Unshielded capacitive proximity sensors have longer sensing distances than shielded versions.
-this sensors more suitable than shielded types for use with plastic sensor (for liquid level applications) wells

-unshielded models equipped with a compensation probe are able to ignore mist, dust, small amounts of dirt and fine droplets of oil or water accumulating on sensor
-materials with high dielectric constants may be sensed through the walls of containers made with materials with lower dielectric constant
-an example is the detection of alcohol or flour through a glass wall

-The alcohol would be detected through the glass while the flour would not

• Environmental Considerations
-any material entering a capacitive sensor’s electrostatic field can cause an output signal
-function of the compensation electrodes in the probe helps to stabilize an unshielded sensor
-when contaminants lie directly on the sensor face, both fields are affected.
-when a target approaches the sensor, the sensing field is affected

The use of capacitive sensor• Liquid level sensingSensing through a sight glass to watch liquid level, such as batter for food processing or ink for printing applications
• Product filling linesBottling applications, full-case detection to ensure that container has the required number of products and checking
material levels
• Plastic parts detectionPlastics on product packages
• Irregularly shaped productsObjects randomly oriented on conveyor belt and highly textured object
