L1-Intro To Sensors

This document discusses different types of sensors and the process for selecting sensors. It describes three broad categories of sensors: binary sensors, analogue sensors, and image sensors. The selection of sensors involves thoroughly analyzing the task, conceptual design, and choosing appropriate components. Factors like reduced prices, miniaturization, and smart sensing have increased interest in using sensors.

Broad Classification of Sensors


According to the amount of information a sensor
Introduction to sensors and or sensing system offers, three groups of sensors can be
distinguished:
transducers, selection of
• binary sensors
sensors • analogue sensors and
• Image sensors.

Sensors in Mechatronics Selection of Sensors


• Choosing a proper sensor is not a trivial task
• First of all, the task that is to be supported by one or more
sensors needs to be thoroughly analyzed and all possible
strategies to be reviewed
• Next, the phase of conceptual design can start
• The final step is the selection of the components that make up
the sensing system

Measuring Tank Content
Sensors
• A: the tank is placed on a balance,
• Reduced Prices to measure its total weight;
• B: a pressure gauge on the bottom
• Miniaturization of the tank;
• C: a gauging-rule from top to
• Smart Sensing bottom with electronic read-out;
• D: level detector on the bottom,
measuring the column height;
• E: level detector from the top of the
tank, measuring the height of the
empty part;
• F: (mass or volume) flow meters at
both inlet and outlet.
