Output signal

Analogue output signals from pressure sensors 3: 0.5 … 4.5 V ratiometric

Stefan Heusel | Know-how
radiometric output signal of pressure sensor

For some applications, for example in vehicles or battery operated applications, an output signal is required which can be operated at low power to enable a long service life. Normally, ratiometric signals are transmitted as 10 ... 90 % of the powersupply voltage.  …

Electrical circuit for pressure sensors: when is a sensor active, and when passive?

Stefan Heusel | Pressure
Circuit diagram of an active and a passive pressure sensor

When using pressure sensors, the output signals 0 … 20 mA, 4 … 20 mA and DC 0 … 10 V are frequently chosen in order for the sensor signals to be evaluated and further processed. For this, the signal output of the pressure sensor is usually connected to a …

Analogue output signals of pressure sensors 1: 4 … 20 mA

Stefan Heusel | Pressure
time error rate of pressure sensor

In industrial automation and in pressure sensors in particular, the current signal of 4 ... 20 mA is the most frequently used signal for analogue transmission of values. The wide use of this signal is due to its ease of handling and especially its interference …

What is the functional principle of a resistive pressure transmitter?

Anna Gries | Pressure
Functional principle of a resistive pressure transmitter

The functional principle of a resistive pressure transmitter is very simple. The pressure sensor converts the mechanical pressure value into a proportional electrical signal. The pressure sensor typically consists of a stable main body and a (thin) diaphragm. The …
