Sensors make the foundation of automation and Internet of Things in order to communicate state of device from operations, maintenance, performance, application perspectives. Understand & discern the functionality,
response of various analog sensors, switches, drives & other measurement devices and also learn about combining and measuring these devices as a whole or as an individual unit. The kit includes several industry standard sensors used in diverse engineering, process and automation applications.The Sensor Trainer can work as a stand-alone system or combined with PLC . As stand-alone system, the equipment can be used in disciplines such as STEM (physics) learning, electrical and electronics, instrumentation, mechatronics, automation, manufacturing.
