### 2. Core Electronic Parts & Functionality
#### A. Internal Microprocessor (MCU)
The "brain" of the unit. It performs real-time signal processing of the analog light levels received from the fiber optic cable. It compares the intensity of the received light against a user-defined set point (threshold) to trigger a logic high or low signal.
#### B. Photo-Electric Conversion Circuit
* **Transmitter (TX):** Drives the light-emitting diode (LED) to pulse light through the fiber cable.
* **Receiver (RX):** A high-sensitivity photodiode that converts incoming light pulses back into electrical voltage.
#### C. Input/Output (I/O) Stages
* **Open Collector Output:** Uses high-speed transistors to switch loads. This allows the sensor to interface directly with PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers).
* **Protection Circuitry:** Includes reverse-polarity protection and overcurrent protection to prevent the internal electronics from burning out during wiring errors.
#### D. User Interface (UI) Components
* **Dual 7-Segment Displays:** Usually red and green, showing the "Sensing Value" and "Setting Value" simultaneously.
* **Tactile Buttons:** Used for "Teaching" the sensor (auto-calibration) and manually adjusting sensitivity.
