Digital sensors designed for analyzing liquid properties

June 22, 2021 By Redding Traiger

Process plants typically use a multitude of sensors, each of which is normally connected to a transmitter. Older sensor technologies use analog signals to communicate with transmitters, but more modern models employ digital technology to improve accuracy, ease calibration, simplify troubleshooting, and reduce required maintenance. Endress+Hauser Memosens technology converts the measured value to a digital […]
