Sensor (Industrial)

A sensor is a fundamental device employed in industrial automation and smart field devices that detects and converts changes in electrical, physical, or other quantities into an output signal, affirming alterations in the observed quantity. These devices are crucial components for collecting data in industrial processes, offering information that enables the automation and optimization of various manufacturing and operational tasks. Sensors come in various types, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, proximity sensors, and more, each designed to perceive specific physical attributes and contribute to the intelligent and automated aspects of industrial processes.

IO-Link Wireless technology enhances reliability in industrial applications by providing a dependable means of data transmission. IO-Link Wireless devices, like TigoBridge/TigoHub, facilitate the seamless conversion of wired IO-Link, Digital, and Analog devices, including sensors and actuators, into IO-Link Wireless, allowing them to transmit data wirelessly to an IO-Link Wireless Master.
