This program explains the different types of discrete instrumentation sensing devices that are used to sense the position of parts and components and their operation.
The sensing devices covered in this program include limit, proximity, and photoelectric switches, which are used in detection of parts in a manufacturing operation. The program explains how these instrumentation components detect mechanical motion and translate it into an electrical signal so that a control circuit may use it to execute the intended command.
Also explained are the troubleshooting tasks for these control elements as well as the proper installation and necessary adjustments according to the device’s application.
