Objective
Upon completion of the course, students will recognize basic sensors in automation systems and will explain how sensors work, their electrical, mechanical and performance properties. Students will be competent in selecting the right sensor to solve a problem in detection or measurement. Students will be able to design electrical connections of sensors and will be able to connect them to control devices. Furthermore, students will be able to connect a sensor to the field bus.
