Distance Sensors - Functionality & How They Work
Distance sensors do not only measure the interval between the sensor and an object: A distance measurement sensor can determine fill levels, measure the dimensions of objects, check the positions of vehicles or objects and avoid collisions by detecting obstacles. In the industrial sector, more and more companies are using radar sensors for distance measurement. The reason: In comparison to an ultrasonic or laser distance sensor, radar sensors are able to measure reliably even in the presence of steam, smoke, dust, dirt, vibrations or extreme temperatures.

Digital Accelerometer
ZET 7151
The characteristics of the primary transducer are set in the device memory and measurements are performed based on those parameters. Thus, the digital sensors releases the user from setting the measuring channels and data processing. The sensors are fixed on the measurement object while the information transmission units are mounted in electric cabinets. An advantage of the ZETSENSOR units is easy installation and uninstallation as well as indication of feed and signal transmission which, in its turn, facilitates diagnostics of the system at the facility.
