Proximity sensors are essential components in the development of automated and intelligent systems. They can sense objects without physical contact. This capability has made them indispensable in industries such as manufacturing and automotive. They are …
A level sensor is a device that determines the height or amount of material inside a container or system. The material can be liquid, powder or granular. Accurate level measurement is vital for maintaining safety, …
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a vast network of connected physical devices. These devices communicate and share information over the internet. Automation, on the other hand, uses technology to perform tasks without direct …
A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a key component in modern industrial systems. It allows precise control of an electric motor’s speed. Older control methods were inefficient and limited. In contrast, VFDs deliver better energy …
SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It is a type of industrial control system (ICS) that integrates computers, communication networks, and graphical interfaces to manage industrial operations. SCADA systems continuously monitor and control …
A VFD motor concept is key in modern industrial control. It refers to a regular AC motor whose speed and performance are controlled by a device called a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). This setup allows …
A sensor is a device that detects and measures a physical input from its environment. It then converts this input into a signal that can be read and processed by an electronic system. This input …
In the realms of engineering, instrumentation, and modern technology, the words “sensor” and “transducer” are frequently used. People often treat them as though they mean the same thing. However, they actually describe two different concepts. …
A sensor is a device that detects changes in its surroundings. It measures things like temperature, pressure, motion, or light. Then, it converts what it senses into an electrical signal that machines can understand. Sensors …
Safety is a top priority in industrial operations. Hazardous incidents can result in serious consequences. These include loss of life, environmental harm, and financial losses. To manage such risks, engineers rely on the concept of …
