Sensors

Sensors play a critical role in industrial automation, enabling systems to interact with their environment through sensitive elements that respond to changes in physical or chemical parameters. These sensitive elements convert external influences—such as temperature, light, pressure, or motion—into signals suitable for processing in automated systems.

A sensor consists of a sensitive element and a converter, which transforms physical variables into measurable electrical outputs like resistance, voltage, current, or inductance. This allows non-electrical parameters (e.g., speed, pressure, displacement, temperature, or light) to be accurately monitored and controlled.

Industrial sensors are essential for ensuring precise, efficient, and reliable operation across a wide range of applications.
