🔍 Confused about the terms transducer and transmitter? You're not alone! 🤔 Let's clear things up and understand the differences between the two. A transducer converts energy into an electrical or electronic signal, while a #transmitter not only senses the physical variable but also transmits a standardized electrical signal representing it. For instance, a pressure switch is a digital device with two conditions - open or closed, making it perfect for connecting to a PLC digital input module. O

What is a Transmitter? A transmitter is an instrument that converts the small signal from a sensor to a signal which represents the variable being measured. Transmitters come in all different shapes and sizes and connect with several types of sensors. Watch the video and complete the following statement: The purpose of a transmitter is to: a) Connect a PLC to a final actuator b) Convert the signal from a sensor to a standard signal that represents the variable being measured c) Convert a pneumat
