Analyze the importance of sensors in the development of industrial automation
Due to the differences in the attributes and needs of various manufacturing industries, customization will be an inevitable trend in sensor applications. The transmission of information and data in modern factory automation systems is also increasingly dependent on smart sensors. In the case of large displacement measurement, there are inductive synchronizers and grating sensors to choose from. Generally speaking, today's industrial automation systems are real-time.
In recent years, with the trend of autonomous driving, industry 4.0, and intelligent medical treatment, the application of AD22285 sensor in the three emerging markets of automobile, industry and medical has developed rapidly. Especially in the automatic control application of industrial equipment, sensors are the eyes and ears of the automatic control system. In addition, due to the differences in the attributes and needs of various manufacturing industries, customization will be an inevitable trend in sensor applications.
The transmission of information and data in modern factory automation systems is also increasingly dependent on smart sensors. In the past, sensors were only responsible for monitoring and measurement, but not analysis. Now, as sensors become more intelligent, they can better evaluate test work and complete tasks in real time. Unlike monolithic applications in the automotive market, applications in the industrial market are more fragmented and fragmented. Furthermore, each manufacturing industry has different attributes and different solutions. While industrial attributes vary, most factories include four processes: machining, assembly, inspection, and logistics, each with different demands on sensing technology.
When designing a test system, the first thing to consider is the selection of the sensor. Whether its choice is correct or not is directly related to the success or failure of the test system. Choosing the right sensor is a complex issue as discussed below.
① First, carefully study the test signal or the measurement of velocity, acceleration and force, determine the test method and preliminarily determine the sensor type, such as displacement measurement, and then determine the sensor type.
②Analyze the test environment and interference factors, whether the test environment has magnetic field, electric field, temperature interference, whether the test site is wet, etc.
③ Determine the displacement measurement and other sensors according to the test range, and analyze whether it is a small displacement or a large displacement. If it is a small displacement measurement, there are inductive sensors, capacitive sensors, Hall sensors, etc. for selection; if it is a large displacement measurement, there are inductive synchronizers and grating sensors for selection.
④ Determine the measurement method. In test engineering, both contact measurement and non-contact measurement. For example, non-contact measurement must be used to measure rotational errors of machine tool spindles.
⑤ Consider factors such as the volume of the sensor, whether the measured position can be put down, the source of the sensor, and the price.
Generally speaking, today's industrial automation systems are real-time. High-precision systems with decision-making capabilities can accurately control high-speed production processes. At the heart of industrial automation is a new generation of advanced smart sensors that keep product lines running. Efficient production lines run as quickly as possible as long as the product reaches the specified quality level.
