Fundamentals of Sensor Engineering

Sensor Engineering in Practical Applications

Sensor engineering is a key technology for measuring, control and feedback control of mechatronic systems in automation, especially in the field of production and processing technologies.

Mainly in connection with „Industry 4.0“ and the connectivity of machines (machine-to-machine communication), sensor engineering is of particular importance in industrial production processes.

Sensor systems must be able to cover various requirements so that the machines can communicate with each other and report possible errors.

Learning objectives

• Functional principles of sensors
• Determining the sensors suitable for different measuring tasks
• Mounting of sensor and subsequent function test
• Creation of circuit and logic diagrams
• Developing test criteria for function tests
• Analysis and determination of errors
