Data acquisition, detection
The field of data capture is divided into two families.The first, called detection, comprises products that can detect a threshold or limit or estimate a physical
measurement.The second - measurement or instrumentation - measures a physical measurement to a given level of accuracy.
In this section, we shall only describe sensors and detection devices for machines and their related automation systems.
Sensors designed for machine safety are dealt with in appropriate section.
For those who are interested, there are many works on machine safety describing all the devices available on the market.
The diversity of these functions requires manufacturers to produce a great number of product variants to cover all the requirements. Recent innovations in product
modulation enable Schneider Electric to offer smaller ranges with more versatile applications.
