What is a Sensor? Different Types of Sensors, Applications


↦A Sensor is a device that identifies the progressions in electrical or physical or other quantities and in a way to deliver a yield as an affirmation of progress in the quantity. 

 Sensors used in Industrial Automation:

 In the industrial automation, sensors play a vital part to make the products intellectual and exceptionally automatic. 
The following are the various types of sensors used in automation:
  •     Temperature Sensors
  •     Pressure sensors
  •     MEMS Sensors
  •     Torque Sensors

Temperature Sensors :
A temperature sensor is a device that collects information concerning the temperature from a resource and changes it to a form that can be understood by another device.
Digital Temperature Sensors:
