Title: About This Course
Course: Intro to Control Devices (IC 108-IC 108) > Section: Web Content

This course is the study of mechanical and electronic sensors used in each of the applications of pressure, temperature, flow, and level. Included in the study of sensors will be block diagrams and the theory of operation of inductive and capacitive sensors. Photoelectric sensors and different scanning methods will be examined. Other topics covered will be "sinking" and "sourcing" sensor operation. Included will be precautions for connecting sensors in series and parallel both two-wire and three-wire, and basic troubleshooting of photoelectric and proximity sensors.
