A brand new concept in sensing.
The TMC Series " Timing Comparator" is a Signal Processing Unit that senses not only the ON / OFF signal from a sensor but also memorizes the " timing" of the incoming signals. It can monitor the signals from up to 4 devices. These ON / OFF signals are indicators of the shape. The TMC uses this to identify the shape of the object. This is quite a new way of sorting / identifying. Any sensor that outputs an ON / OFF signal is applicable for use with the TMC Series Timing Comparator. It is possible to not only detect the presence of an object, but to also detect the orientation, shape, etc.
