Abstract
Provided is a sensor control system capable of reducing a load on an application system in processing of a synchronization signal and performing flexible synchronization control in accordance with a system change even if the system change such as an increase in the number of sensors is made. A sensor control system that includes a light emitting unit, a sensor including a signal processing unit that performs signal processing on the basis of an electric signal output from each of a plurality of pixels, and a control device that controls execution of the signal processing of the sensor. The sensor includes a communication interface processing unit that receives a communication interface signal, a synchronization signal generation unit that generates a synchronization signal, a light emission trigger output unit that transmits a light emission trigger on the basis of the synchronization signal, a synchronization signal processing unit that controls the signal processing unit on the basis of the synchronization signal and transmits the synchronization signal, and a feedback signal processing unit that receives a feedback signal and transmits predetermined signal processing data including a reception result to the control device.
