Abstract:

A method for suppressing a non-periodic random event in a proximity system includes: receiving an output signal generated by a proximity sensor in the proximity system and monitoring at least a magnitude of the output signal; determining whether a spike having a magnitude exceeding a prescribed threshold value has occurred in the output signal; when a spike in the output signal is detected, setting an output of the proximity system to a prescribed level for a prescribed duration of time; when the prescribed duration of time has elapsed, determining whether the output signal meets one or more prescribed criteria indicative of a shutdown condition; when it is determined that the output signal meets the prescribed criteria, setting the output of the proximity system to a level exceeding an alarm threshold; and when it is determined that the output signal fails to meet at least one of the prescribed criteria, releasing suppression of the output of the proximity system.
