Classification of Sensors
Detail classification of sensors in view of their applications in manufacturing is as follows.
CLASSIFICATION
OF SENSORS
Sensors can be
classified into various groups according to the factors such as measurand, application
fields, conversion principle, energy domain of the measurand and thermodynamic
considerations. These general classifications of sensors are well described in
the references.
Detail classification
of sensors in view of their applications in manufacturing is as follows.
