Analog and digital output temperature sensor outputs are produced to measure the amount of ambient heat energy. These sensors have a number of important characteristics that must always be considered, such as sensing temperature locally, sensor type, output type, temperature remote, voltage supply, and resolution. Temperature sensors are used for a broad range of applications throughout many industries. In the automation and control gear category, Temperature Sensors Analog and Digital Output provide input to a system to accurately determine the temperature of a particular object.
Analog Sensors
Various types of sensors constantly produce analogue output signals, known as analogue sensors. This constant output signal that is produced by the analogue sensors is proportional to the measurement. There are many different types of analogue sensors that you can use according to the requirements of your applications:
- Accelerometers
- Pressure sensors
- Lights sensors
- Sound sensors
- Temperature sensors.
Digital Sensors
Digital sensors are electronic or electrochemical sensors in data conversion and transmission that occur digitally. These digital sensors are becoming more popular than analogue sensors in the automation and control gear category because they overcome the drawbacks of analogue sensors. The digital sensor consists of three main components: sensor, cable, and transmitter. When the signal is measured in digital sensors, it is directly converted into digital signal output within the digital sensor. Then this digital signal is transmitted with the help of a digital cable. There are various types of digital temperature sensors in the sensors and transducers category that can overcome the disadvantages of analogue sensors.
Applications of Temperature Sensor
There are many applications of Temperature Sensors Analog and Digital Output across various industries and for commercial and domestic use. Some of the common applications include:
- Medical applications
- Domestic applications
- Oil mining
- Vehicles
- HVAC systems
- Renewable energy
- Glass manufacturing
- Chemical industries
- Integrated circuits.
