Intelligent instruments, along with digital networking technology optimized for typical machine applications, are bringing front-line features to discrete manufacturing applications. A Murrelektronik ...

Process instruments consist of two main components: a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor is sometimes part of the instrument assembly, as with some pressure instruments, but is more often separate, ...

Soft sensors, also known as virtual sensors, are software that can process hundreds of measurements in combination. Plant managers who want to add soft sensors may be overwhelmed by the scope of ...

As the global market focuses on lean manufacturing, multi-variable sensors that combine pressure, temperature, or other sensors into one package offer the opportunity to reduce the number of ...

Volumetric flow, flow velocity and temperature measurement – three of the most important variables which help to ensure efficient process control. So, wouldn’t it be convenient if you could measure ...

In the injection molding of plastics, in-mold sensors, as part of a variety of process control packages, have been around for decades. But comparatively recently, similar technology has begun to make ...

Using flow sensors, operators can monitor compressed-air use to help identify problems early and provides data for improving energy efficiency. Compressed air is used throughout the pharmaceutical ...

In today's competitive environment, process industry companies are focused on two key objectives: profitability and delivering value to customers. However, these objectives are often disparate goals ...

The I/O capabilities built into most microcontrollers make it easy to measure the analog world. Say you want to build a data logger for temperature. All you need to do is get some kind of sensor that ...

A growing chorus of experts warns that process sensors — long excluded from cybersecurity standards due to their non-routable protocols — pose a critical risk to the electric grid as FERC and NERC ...

Description: Fundamental aspects of transducers, biosensors, instrumentation, and computer control are presented, with particular emphasis on sensors and controls used in agricultural, biological, and ...
