Industrial sensors are typically tasked with detecting, positioning or identifying an object or rotating axis in a factory-automated system. Industrial sensors utilize a variety of technologies, including inductive, magneto-resistive, capacitive, optical, pressure and ultrasonic. Key design considerations include: Non-volatile storage for calibration values Small PCB size Accurate analog measurement Arithmetic for signal conditioning Digital communication […]
A Human Machine Interface, or HMI, typically includes a number of components required to signal and control the state of industrial automation equipment. These interface products can range from a basic LED status indicator to a 20-inch TFT panel with a touchscreen interface. Unsurprisingly, HMI applications require mechanical robustness and resistance to water, dust, moisture, […]
