Universal interface for detector

A universal interface arranged to be positioned between a detector and equipment control circuitry, comprising:

• a connector with at least four input connection points configured to connect to the detector and comprising a first connection point designed to receive a first electrical potential and connect to a first input of the detector, a second connection point designed to be connected to a first output of the detector and to receive a first detector output signal, a third connection point designed to receive a second electrical potential and to connect to a second input of the detector, and a fourth connection point designed to be connected to a second output of the detector and to receive a second detector output signal,
• processing circuitry configured to convert each of the first and second detector output signal into binary information to be sent to the equipment control circuitry and which is representative of a switched status or of a non-switched status of each output of the detector,
• wherein the processing circuitry is configured to implement, for each output of the detector,
• a comparison function permitting, for each output of the detector, detection of a switch to a high potential or detection of a switch to a low potential, and
• a logic function permitting an operation logic of the detector, to which the universal interface is connected, to be taken in account.
