Sensors

Chapter

Abstract

Sensors and the associated measuring systems provide the required measurable information about the process in mechatronic systems. They represent an essential link between the process and the information-processing part, i.e., microcomputers, see Figure 9.1. Sensors that measure mechanical or thermal quantities and transform them into an electrical signal are of special importance for mechatronic systems. This chapter gives a brief overview of some of the characteristic features, signal types and measurement principles. A more detailed description of the broad field of metrology is given in, e.g., Jones (1977), Schrüfer (1983), Jüttemann (1988), Czichos (1989), Juckenack (1990), Thiel (1990), Profos, Pfeifer (1992), Schaumburg (1992), Tränkler (1992), Beckwith et al. (1995), Bauer (1996), Christiansen (1996), Jurgen (1997).
