Pressure sensor with I²C communication – possibilities and boundary conditions
| Christian Wirl | Know-howI²C was designed to communicate over short distances between printed circuit boards and is a simple, 8-bit serial data bus. In the meantime, it is not only PCB-mountable pressure sensors that use the I²C signal for data transfer, but also pressure sensors remote from …
CANopen: digital instead of analogue signals
| Markus Heidl | Know-howUnlike an analogue signal, which as a physical quantity can take on continuous values, a digital signal consists of discrete values. Personally, I always think of long strings of zeros and ones floating through space: 0101 0111 0100 1001 0100 1011 0100 0001 0011 1101 …
Sensor integration – notes on mechanics and EMC
| Christian Wirl | Know-howWhen integrating pressure sensors and pressure sensor modules, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to mechanics and EMC protection: Mechanics Depending on the installation situation and intended use of the sensor module, its design will differ; …
Filter monitoring: A crucial component for energy-efficient operation
| Jürgen Arndt | Know-howIf the careful use of “energy” as a resource used to be for cost reasons, today there is also increased environmental awareness. All of this also becomes mandatory thanks to legal requirements and the state of the technology. In this article you can read about how …
