Proximity sensor
First Claim
1. A proximity sensor, comprising:
- a fastening portion containing a sensor head for generating sensor signals;
an electronics portion connectable to said fastening portion, said electronics portion having a sensor-signal evaluation unit, a modulator/encoder, a radio transmitter with an antenna for emitting evaluated sensor signals and disposed downstream of said modulator/encoder, a radio receiver, a demodulator/decoder for a radio reception of sets of parameters and disposed downstream of said radio receiver, and a power supply unit; and
an electrical connection for passing the sensor signals from said fastening portion to said electronics portion.

Abstract
A proximity sensor with a sensor head for generating sensor signals is described. The proximity sensor is divided into a fastening portion containing a sensor head, and an electronics portion that can be connected to the fastening portion and has at least a sensor-signal evaluation unit and a power supply. The sensor signals pass from the fastening portion to the electronics portion via electrical contacts or contactlessly. Furthermore, a modular system for forming proximity sensors is proposed, and contains a multiplicity of fastening portions, respectively containing a sensor head, with different dimensioning and, connectable herewith, in each case identical electronics portions.
