SENSORS ( FIELD INSTRUMENTS )
Sensors with transmitters are the field devices placed in
the field who actually sense the parameter and send the
analog signal to the control hardware.
The analog signals used are Ohm (RTD), mV
(Thermocouple), 4-20 mA, +/-10 V, etc
WIDELY USED SENSORS ( FIELD
INSTRUMENTS )
RTD : Output in Ohms (Temperature)
Thermocouples : Output in mV (Temperature)
Pressure Transmitters : 4-20mA, 0-10 V …..
Flow Transmitter : 4-20mA, 0-10 V …..
Level Transmitter : 4-20mA, 0-10 V …..
Conductivity meter : 4-20mA, 0-10 V …..
