Ok, thanks for the link. It would have to been good to have that in the original question.
"PIR" normally stands for Passive Infra-Red which is a sensor which does not emit any IR light itself (hence "Passive"), but detects IR light given off by warm objects.
Your sensors are IR but not passive, they emit a beam of IR light which reflects off objects and the sensor then detects that reflected light.
So to answer your original question: no, the Arduino cannot control these sensors, there is nothing to control.
EDIT: I suppose the Arduino could control them by switching their power on and off. Is that what you meant? If so, why is that needed?
