Transducer
A transducer is any device that converts energy from
one form to another.

sound energy to electric

Sensors
Sensors are input transducers used for detecting and
often measuring the magnitude of something. They
convert mechanical, magnetic, thermal, optical, and
chemical variations into electric voltages and currents.

Proximity Sensor
Proximity sensors or switches detect the presence of
an object without making physical contact with it.
Proximity Sensor Applications
The object being detected is too small, lightweight, or
soft to operate a mechanical switch.
Rapid response and high switching rates are required.
An object has to be sensed through nonmetallic barriers
such as glass, plastic, and paper cartons.
Hostile environments conditions exist.
Long life and reliable service are required.
A fast electronic control system requires a bounce-free
input signal.

Capacitive Proximity Sensor
A capacitive proximity sensor can be actuated by both
conductive and nonconductive material such as wood,
plastics, liquids, sugar flour and wheat.
Operation is similar to that of inductive
proximity sensor. Instead of a coil, the
active face of the sensor is formed by
two metallic electrodes – rather like an
"opened capacitor".
Magnetic Switch (Reed Switch)
A magnetic switch (also called
a reed switch) is composed of
flat contact tabs that are
hermetically sealed (air-tight).

Photovoltaic Or Solar Cell
The photovoltaic cell, or solar cell, is
a common light-sensor device that
converts light energy directly into
electric energy.
Solar cell
The solar cell converts light
impulses directly into electrical
charges which can easily be
amplified to provide an input
signal to a PLC.
Photoconductive Or Photoresistive Cell
The photoconductive cell, or
photoresistive cell, is is another
popular type of light transducer.
Light energy falling on this device
will cause a change in the
resistance of the cell.

20 Ohms Light resistance
5,000 Ohms Dark resistance
Photoelectric Sensor Operation
Most industrial photoelectric sensors use a lightemitting diode (LED) for the light source and a
phototransistor to sense the presence or absence of light.

Light source
Light from the LED
falls on the input of the
phototransistor and the
amount of conduction
through the transistor
changes. Analog
outputs provide an
output proportional to
the quantity of light
seen by the
photodetector.
Reflective Photoelectric Sensor
Emits a light beam (visible,
infrared, or laser) from its light
emitting element and detects
the light being reflected.

Bar Code Systems
Bar code systems can be used to
enter data much more quickly
than manual methods, and are
highly accurate.
Diverter
Decoder
Scanner
PLC
The decoder receives
the signal from the
scanner and converts
these data into the
character data
representation of the
symbol's code.
Ultrasonic Sensor
An ultrasonic sensor operates by
sending sound waves towards the
target and measuring the time it
takes for the pulses to bounce
back.
The returning echo signal
is electronically converted
to a 4 mA to 20 mA output,
which supplies flow rate to
external control devices.
Strain /Weight Sensors
A strain gauge transducer converts
a mechanical strain into an electric
signal.
Hopper
Wire type Force
The load cell provides
sensor input to the
controller, which
displays the weight
and controls the
hopper chute.
Controller
The force applied to the gauge causes the
ON/OFF
gauge to bend. This
bending action also

which in turn changes its resistance.

Temperature Sensors
Temperature sensors convert heat into an electric
signal. There are four basic types used: thermocouple,
resistance temperature detector (RTD), thermistor,
and IC sensor.

the fluid has into some other
measurable form.

A magnet is attached to the shaft.
A small coil of wire held near the
magnet receives a pulse each time
the magnet passes. By measuring
the frequency of the pulses, the
shaft speed can be determined.
