To complement the 2-wire and 3-wire sensor transmitter blogs that Kevin Duke and I have already published on Precision Hub, my next few blog topics will be on 4-wire sensor transmitters. The blogs ...

The Monterey (MAXREFDES15#) subsystem reference design is a high-accuracy industrial loop powered sensor transmitter that connects to any standard PT1000 resistance sensor and converts the linearized ...

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...

Those traffic loop sensors embedded at stop lights to detect the presence of a car have always provided fodder for vehicular snake oil vendors: I’ve seen products promising to eliminate red lights ...

The Flexi Soft Safety Controller which supports communications to PLCs via all standard field bus communications protocols now includes a new feature called Flexi Loop. This adds the capability to ...

The IEEE has defined IEEE 1451, a family of Smart Transducer Interface standards that permit systems to automatically identify sensors and obtain their calibration and operating parameters. In March ...
