Abstract (en)

[origin: JP2018199994A] To provide an automatic position determination method for sensors in automatic door equipment including a plurality of sensors, especially automatic sliding door equipment.SOLUTION: In order to detect sensor positions relative to each other, different sensor transmitters 30 are controlled successively and/or switched off successively, and in some cases each sensor detector 32, which is not controlled by a changed clock frequency or transmission frequency, or changed modulation, detects which side the light of a sensor that is controlled by a changed clock frequency or transmission frequency, or changed modulation is received from. Alternatively, in some cases, a sensor detector 32 having a sensor device switched off detects which side the light of another sensor is received from. Subsequently, respective absolute positions of the sensors are determined based on the detected sensor positions relative to each other.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
