|
Remote terminal units (RTUs) connect directly to sensors, meters, dataloggers or process plants, and collect and transmit data automatically.
|
|
Sensor chips are dies incorporating semiconductor circuit elements that are used to convert changes to some physical parameter to an electrical signal.
|
|
Sensor interface and excitation IC chips are used as interfaces to sensors and other devices. The input at the interface collects data from the sensor and the output of the interface sends the data to a computer or other suitable device.
|
|
Sensor transmitters are measurement or signal conditioning packages that provide a standard, calibrated output from a sensor or transducer in the form of a current loop output (e.g., 4-20 mA).
