ELECTRONIC SENSORS


Communication, Isolation and Sensing – the Full Package for Industrial Control


By Ben Xie, technical marketing manager, NOVOSENSE Microelectronics


Figure 1: In the modern industrial environment, many parts of the production process are automated, facilitated by a number of sensors that monitor manufacturing conditions in real-time and communicate that information back to the control system.
