FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: adaptive sensor for identifying and monitoring the position of three types of articles has a sensitive surface, a contactless sensor for identifying three types of articles, a NOR logic element, six AND logic elements, a resetting unit, an electric pulse binary counter, first, second and third display units, a clock generator with corresponding electrical connections thereof. The point of connection of outputs of the fourth, fifth and sixth AND logic elements and the second input of the NOR logic element is the first output of the adaptive sensor. Outputs of the third, second and first AND logic elements are the second, third and fourth outputs of the adaptive sensor, respectively. When one or another or a third type of article moves relative to the sensitive surface, potential information signals for monitoring the position of said articles with a logic 1 levels are output at the first output. A three-bit binary digital code, the values 100, 010 and 001 of which are identification codes of the one or other or third type of monitored article, respectively, is obtained at the second, third and fourth outputs. Information signals on identification of one or another or a third type of controlled articles in form of visual signals are output from the first, second and third display units, respectively. The adaptive sensor enables automatic monitoring of articles without mechanical contact with said articles and automatic adaptation thereof to a specific type of monitored article.
EFFECT: broader functional capabilities.
