In the conventional medium transport position detection method, the output state of a plurality of sensors on the transport system is determined by the CP.
Since U needs to be individually recognized through I / O ports, the number of sensors that can be connected to one I / O port is limited to the number of CPU data buses. There is a drawback that the number of I / O ports increases and I / O ports must be switched as the medium is transported. In order to keep track of the medium on the transport system, the interval between sensors arranged on the transport system should be shorter than the length of the medium, or if the interval between sensors is longer than the length of the medium, The disadvantage is that the CPU must remember that the medium has passed through one sensor until the next sensor detects the medium. Further, when a plurality of media are transported at the same time, there is a disadvantage that the CPU must store the transport position of another medium while controlling the transport of one medium.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The medium 1 is transported under the control of the CPU 14. First, the sensor 3 installed on the transport system detects the leading end of the medium 1, and the output level of the sensor 3 changes. A change in the output level of the sensor 3 due to the leading end of the medium 1 is detected by a sensor output change detecting unit 8 due to the leading end of the medium, and a pulse is output as a detection result to the sensor level change counter 10 due to the leading end of the medium 1.

A change in the output level of the sensor 3 due to the rear end of the medium 1 is detected by a sensor output change detection unit 9 due to the rear end of the medium, and a pulse is output to the sensor level change counter 12 by the rear end of the medium 1 as a detection result. The sensor level change counter 12 counts up by one. When the transport further proceeds, the sensor 4 is moved to the rear end of the medium 1 and the sensor 5
Are sequentially detected at the front end of the medium 1 and the sensor 5 sequentially detects the rear end of the medium 1. Therefore, if the count values of the sensor level change counters 10 and 12 before the start of transport are both set to 0, the existence of the medium between the sensors 5 and 6 means that the sensor level change counter 10 by the leading end of the medium 1 counts.

It is indicated by the count value 3 of 6.

When the sensor 7 detects the leading edge of the medium 1, the state is determined by a sensor level change counter 1 for the leading edge of the medium 1.
It is represented by a count value 5 of 0 and a count value 4 of the sensor level change frequency counter 12 by the rear end of the medium 1. Count values of sensor level change counters 10 and 12 and medium 1
Since the transfer positions of the medium 1 correspond one-to-one, the CPU 14 can detect the transfer position of the medium 1 from the count values of the sensor level change number counters 10 and 12. Next, the medium 2 is transported following the medium 1, and when the sensor detects the leading end of the medium 2,
A change in the sensor output level is detected by the sensor output change detection unit 8.

Whether the output change of the sensor is caused by the medium 1 or the medium 2 is determined based on the count value of the sensor level change counter 10 by the leading end of the medium 1 as a result of the sensor output change. Then, a pulse is output from the sensor output change detection unit 8 based on the leading end of the medium to the sensor level change count counter 11 based on the leading end of the medium 2 and counts up. Similarly, based on the count value of the sensor level change number counter 12 by the rear end of the medium 2, a pulse is output to the sensor level change number counter 13 by the rear end of the medium 2 and counts up. Accordingly, the CPU recognizes the transport position of the medium 2 from the count values of the sensor level change counters 11 and 13.

As described above, the present invention detects the transport position of a plurality of media by detecting a change in the output level of the sensor due to the leading and trailing edges of each of the plurality of media detecting sensors provided in the transport system. Since the circuit performs the number of changes in the sensor output level by each medium based on the count value counted by the counter for each medium, the CPU has the effect of dramatically increasing the sensor information obtained at one time by the data bus, and the count value is As long as there is no change in the sensor output, it is kept at the value at that time, so that the effect of not losing the medium,
Since the positions of a plurality of media are managed by different counters, there is an effect that the CPU does not need to store the positions of other media while controlling the conveyance of one medium.
