Course Description

PLC Industrial sensors

I

Industrial control systems cannot—unlike humans—see, hear, and monitor processes by themselves. Instead, they use industrial sensors to convert mechanical, magnetic, thermal, optical, and chemical variations into electric voltages and currents. In this course, Zara Khalil covers the most common types of industrial sensors used within the field of industrial automation. She looks at proximity, temperature, pressure, and level sensors, and explores the operating principles and common applications of each. Plus, Zara highlights useful resources to continue your learning journey. If you’ve got the basics of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) programming down and want to see what you can do with industrial sensors
