Sensors are devices that provide detection and measurement of a physical stimulus and converts that measurement into an electrical output signal that can represent the level, intensity, or strength of the property. Electrical signal outputs from a sensor can be in the form of a voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, or digital data output. Sensor types include temperature, pressure, position, level, force, speed, vibration, flow, optical, and humidity.
The main functions that a sensor performs are: monitoring - the sensor provides information to a display or recording device; information provided based on a condition or changes in a phenomenon (feedback) and then controls the function to maintain parameters within a selected range; or by adding intelligence within systems that can process data to help make complex autonomous decisions in an operation.
