Advantages of sensor and Transducer
Transducer need a very small power is required for controlling electrical and electronic system
The output of the transducer is always in the electrical form from 4mA- 20mA or 0-5v in the range.
The electrical output of the transducer, we can amplify at any desired level and we can use it further process.
The transducer is available in a compact size and shapes so easy to installed it
The output of the transducer can easily indicate and recorded
remotely at a long distance from the sensing medium.
The output of the transducer can easily be modified to meet our
process requirement for indicating and controlling the equipment.
The transducer electrical signal can be easily conditioned either in the form of analog or digital form with the help of some appropriate electronics arrangement.
In the electrical transducer there is no moving, wear and tear part.
In the transducer, there are no mechanical failure exits.
Disadvantages of Transducer
The electrical transducer is a little bit more expensive than mechanical transducers
While we design the circuit the effects of aging and drifts of parameters of active components must be considered. This makes the design complicated
It has low reliability.
In some transducers, accuracy and resolution are less compared to the mechanical device and transducers.
Application of sensor and Transducer
The main use of transducers in the automation industry.
It can use in the medical equipment and biomedical field to measure body parameters like ECG, EEG, etc.
A transducer can be used in the antenna to convert electromagnetic waves into electrical signals.
Trandcuer in the defance system and equipements.
The transducer is used in small toys.
It is used in the prediction of weather conditions.
The transducer is used to measure the temperature, pressure, flow, and various physical parameter.
