Radios were once big complicated appliances, full of warm valves and paper-wrapped capacitors, all humming and glowing to ...

Engineers at the University of California San Diego created a smart ring that simultaneously and continuously monitors up to ...

A negative temperature coefficient (NTC) refers to any physical value that decreases as the temperature increases or vice versa. In electronics, NTC usually refers to a material’s decreasing ...

Part 1 provided an overview of intrinsically safe systems; this part looks at some of the electronics and implementations. Q: The high-level insight is useful, but what about the electronics that are ...

Abstract: Some industries are in need of emulating banks with tens or hundreds of resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). This happens, for example, in the realization of the control electronics for ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Editor’s note: This column is moderated by Béla Lipták, who is also the editor of the Instrument and Automation Engineers’ Handbook (5th edition). If you have a question concerning measurement, ...

Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...

This article discusses the history and design challenges for designing a resistance temperature detector (RTD)-based temperature measurementsystem. It also covers RTD selection and configuration trade ...

Measuring temperature is required in nearly all chemical processes, but engineers often struggle with implementation. Here are suggestions to avoid common pitfalls Measuring temperature in chemical ...

In this first article in a two-part series, we discuss resistance temperature detector (RTD) circuit design for a functionally safe system and introduce considerations for the Route 2S component ...
