To understand the concept of a remote temperature sensor and how it differs from a local temperature sensor, it’s best to first review some basics of temperature-sensor ICs. A silicon ...

Industrial temperature sensors are widely used with 4–20mA current-loop transmitters in industrial control and automation. In the current loop the temperature sensor converts a temperature into a ...

A guide for engineers balancing performance, reliability, and manufacturability across today’s smart systems By Barry Brents, ...

Walking through most process plants or remote facilities, an observer will encounter a sizeable collection of temperature and pressure instruments. Without knowledge of the two critical parameters of ...

Key components of modern industrial systems are the sensors that feed data to the controllers, monitors, and other operational technologies running the plant. Networking of sensors has been in use for ...

1. Measuring range. When choosing a sensor (pressure, temperature, analog, etc.), the measuring range should directly correspond with the physical measuring range in order to obtain the most accurate ...

Why are companies vying to have smart sensors in their manufacturing operations? What makes gas sensors so compelling? How will level sensors fare in the next five years? With Industry 4.0 creating ...
