Abstract
A photoelectric switch includes a light emitting section emitting pulse light so that intensity of the emitted pulse light is sequentially increased. A light detecting section detects the pulse light emitted by the light emitting section. A light detection signal indicative of the received light is amplified and then integrated. A high-level light detection signal is delivered by the light detecting section when an integral value is equal to or above a threshold. A determination circuit delivers a first detection signal when a duration of the light detection signal is equal or above a predetermined values. The determination circuit further delivers a stable operation signal when a set time period is reached. The light detecting section is integrated into one-chip configuration.
