    R i however is an actual electric resistance representing the insulation leakage resistance of the transducer. If the sensor is connected to a load resistance, this also acts in parallel with the insulation resistance, both increasing the high-pass cutoff frequency. Also not shown in this schematic is the actual capacitance of the sensor ...

  5. Smart transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_transducer

    A smart transducer is an analog or digital transducer, actuator, or sensor combined with a processing unit and a communication interface. [ 1 ] As sensors and actuators become more complex, they provide support for various modes of operation and interfacing.

  6. Transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transducer

    A transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another. Usually a transducer converts a signal in one form of energy to a signal in another. [1] Transducers are often employed at the boundaries of automation, measurement, and control systems, where electrical signals are converted to and from other physical quantities (energy, force, torque, light, motion, position, etc.).

  7. Sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor

    Different types of light sensors. A sensor is a device that produces an output signal for the purpose of detecting a physical phenomenon.. In the broadest definition, a sensor is a device, module, machine, or subsystem that detects events or changes in its environment and sends the information to other electronics, frequently a computer processor.

  8. Electro-optical sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optical_sensor

    An optical sensor converts light rays into electronic signals. It measures the physical quantity of light and then translates it into a form readable by an instrument. An optical sensor is generally part of a larger system that integrates a source of light, a measuring device, and the optical sensor. This is often connected to an electrical ...
