  2. Position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_sensor

    A position sensor is a sensor that detects an object's position. A position sensor may indicate the absolute position of the object (its location) or its relative position (displacement) in terms of linear travel, rotational angle or three-dimensional space. Common types of position sensors include the following: Capacitive displacement sensor

  3. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

    Piping and instrumentation diagram of pump with storage tank. Symbols according to EN ISO 10628 and EN 62424. A more complex example of a P&ID. A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is defined as follows: A diagram which shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process.

  4. Data logger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_logger

    Data logger Cube storing technical and sensor data. A data logger (also datalogger or data recorder) is an electronic device that records data over time or about location either with a built-in instrument or sensor or via external instruments and sensors. Increasingly, but not entirely, they are based on a digital processor (or computer), and ...

  5. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    Common circuit diagram symbols (US ANSI symbols) An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may ...

  6. Fault detection and isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_detection_and_isolation

    Fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) is a subfield of control engineering which concerns itself with monitoring a system, identifying when a fault has occurred, and pinpointing the type of fault and its location. Two approaches can be distinguished: A direct pattern recognition of sensor readings that indicate a fault and an analysis ...

  7. Light level geolocator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_level_geolocator

    A red knot equipped with a GLS.. A light level geolocator, light-level logger or global location sensor (GLS) is a lightweight, electronic archival tracking device, usually used in bird migration research to map migration routes, identify important staging areas, and sometimes provide additional ecological information.

  8. Capacitive displacement sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_displacement_sensor

    Industrial capacitive sensor. Capacitive displacement sensors are a kind of non-contact displacement sensor, measuring the position and change of position in capacitive materials to a high resolution. [1] They are also able to measure the thickness or density of non-conductive materials. [2]

  9. Real-time locating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_locating_system

    For example, if each location contains a unique combination of signal strength readings from transmitters, the location system will function properly. This is true, for example, with some Wi-Fi based RTLS solutions. However, having distinct signal strength fingerprints in each location typically requires a fairly high saturation of transmitters.
