  1. Smart Sensors Submitted to: Dr.–Ing Naveed Ramzan Submitted by: 2007-CHEM-54 Arslan Arshad

  2. Introduction • Main Components of Smart Sensors • Smart Sensor System • Area Of Application • Advantages and Disadvantages • Examples Synopsis

  3. A smart sensor is simply one that acquires physical, biological or chemical input, converts the measured value into a digital format in the units of the measured attribute and transmits that measured information to a computer monitoring point Introduction

  4. A micro sensor integrated with signal-conditioning electronics such as analog-to-digital converters on a single silicon chip to form an integrated microelectromechanical component that can process information itself or communicate with an embedded microprocessor. Introduction (contd.)

  5. Main Component of Smart Sensors

  6. Sensor: • The sensor is a simple device whose function is to measure a variable like temperature, pressure or velocity of a fluid. Main Component of Smart Sensors (contd.)

  7. Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC): • The microprocessors within a smart sensor can only work with digital signals, so it is necessary to convert the analogue input signals into digital signals. Main Component of Smart Sensors (contd.)

  8. Transmitters: • The smart sensor has to be able communicate data with an external receivers as well as with other sensors Main Component of Smart Sensors (contd.)

  9. Actuators: • An actuator takes an electric signal as an input and performs a mechanical action as an output Main Component of Smart Sensors (contd.)

  10. Smart Sensor System

  11. Smart Sensor System (contd.)

  12. Area of Application

  13. The smart sensor takes over the conditioning and control of the sensor signal, reducing the load on the central control system, allowing faster system operation. • Smart sensors greatly reduce wiring cost, large cable ducts, and confusion over lead destination during maintenance or upgrades. • Smart sensors have powerful built-in diagnostics, which reduces commissioning and startup costs and maintenance. • Direct digital control provides high accuracy, not achievable with analog control systems and central processing. Advantages of Smart Sensors

  14. Advantages of Smart Sensors (contd.) • Uniformity in programming means that the program only has to be learned once and new devices can be added to the bus on a plug-and-play basis. • Individual controllers can monitor and control more than one process variable. • The set points and calibration of a smart sensor are easily changed from the central control computer. • The cost of smart sensor systems is presently higher than that of conventional systems, but when the cost of maintenance, ease of programming, ease of adding new sensors is taken into account, the long-term cost of smart sensor systems is less.

  15. If upgrading to smart sensors, care has to be taken when mixing old devices with new sensors, since they may not be compatible. • If a bus wire fails, the total system is down, which is not the case with discrete wiring. However, with discrete wiring, if one sensor connection fails, it may be necessary to shut the system down. The problem of bus wire failure can be alleviated by the use of a redundant backup bus. Disadvantages of Smart Sensors
