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 […]
New incremental encoder series supports extended resolution options
CUI Devices’ Motion Group announced the introduction of a new model to its AMT incremental encoder family.
