LO1 5-Sensors

A sensor detects environmental changes and converts physical parameters into measurable signals, often used in monitoring and control systems. Transmitters amplify these signals, while transducers convert energy forms for measurement purposes. Applications on ships include navigation, machinery performance monitoring, cargo management, and environmental monitoring.

SENSOR

Introduction:-
A sensor is an object whose purpose is to detect events or
change in environment, and then provide a corresponding
output.
It converts the physical parameter (Ex.:- Temperature,
speed, etc.) into a signal which can be measured
electrically.
It is a type of Transducer, sensors may provide various
types of output. But typically use electrical or optical
signal.
It is important to provide monitoring and control from a
central station within the installation.

For this reason, products that include information and


communication features for use at sub-stations, consumer
metering devices, switchgear, transformers, digital fault
recorders etc.
Line sensors:-
It can be provide at line poles or towers
which acquire data, such as phase current and phase
voltages and can also detect short circuit and grounding
faults.

 By using this data, automation system can isolate the


faulted section and monitor the real time data.

 Beside the relay, there are transmitter/transducers, which


are gather data from basic sensors for telementry.
TRANSMITTER:-
It can be separate piece of electronic equipment, or an
electrical circuit within another electronic device.

 This provide output signals after converting and


amplifying low level signals of basic sensor element.

 Modern transmitter are smart and microprocessor based,


performing many other functions such as alarm, signal etc.
TRANSDUCER
It is device that convert one form of energy to another.
Usually a transducer converts signal in one form of energy
to a signal in another.
 Electrical signals are converted to and from other
physical quantities (energy, force, torque, light etc.)
 This is measuring element that senses the external action.
And generally used for measuring purpose.
Commonly used transducer are Microphone,
thermocouple, potentiometer, etc.
RECEIVER:-

In two way communication the receiver is used as


terminal equipment along with transmitter.

A transmitter and a receiver combined in one unit are


called a transceiver.
