I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Santana Mordechai thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Thank you for making this video and helping all the students out there who are studying Industrial automation. The content is very well explained with diagrams and thus it makes very easy to understand. In Industrial Automation, A temperature sensor is a device that helps in collecting the information regarding the temperature from a resource and it changes in such a form which can be understood by another device. Digital temperature and humidity & temperature sensors are two main sensors that are used in automation. Keep doing such videos.
Amazing to hear that! Thanks for your support. We have a whole course library full of video courses (400+). You might want to have a browse around as I am sure this is of your interest. bit.ly/30AVJaR Happy learning!
Excellent explanatory video lesson. Very enriching and pertinent information about these devices present in our daily life in the industry. Thanks so much and congrats.
As always, your videos are great and helpful, Just a remark, at time 1:12, the labels of thermistor and semiconductor figures have been inversed. Thanks
Use vacuum , pressure and atmospheric pressure as Transistor is best all around sensor because it is sensitive and it is self aware of its own and surounding
Temperature and pressure sensor if separate could conflicting in boiler environment which is like nuclearbomb control conflicting control and so it is really important and thermistor can easily remote influence
Great awesome video. Sensor Devices could be a series of videos like this one as they are all part the automation process. . I work with many devices and even I am learning stuff I didn’t quite know given all the various sensor types, how they all work and their signals to plc. Your videos make me better at my job on every video as well freshen up the things I should know but may not quite know.
Thank you for the video real pars! , btw i am confused which sensor (RTD or thermocouple) should i Choose for Water treatment plant. The range should be around normal temperature to 80C. and for the ph of the water is vary from 5 - 12. Can you suggest? Thank You very much !
Either will work fine. If you choose a thermocouple, use a K thermocouple; J thermocouples are not good in wet environments (will rust). An RTD will give a better life of service, both will work well in that temperature range, provided they are installed properly.
Hey, thanks for making this video and helping make industrial engineering more accessible to the public! One question though: can you use NTC and PTC together?
Hey JerHan, Using an NTC and a PTC for one single application seems unreasonable! As the application can not require both NTC and PTC together. Do you have something in mind about a specific application?
Hello, great video, I always find you’re content very useful. If I was specifying the instrument range of a PT100 typically what range would I use ? I understand there is an instrument range and a calibrated range, but I’m unsure on what the instrument range would typically be. Thanks
Usually, Pt100 temperature sensors, when connected to a transmitter or RTD card in the DCS or PLC, will read the temperature out directly, so no range is required. The range that a Pt100 RTD can measure with high accuracy is typical -200F to 800F.
the video is very useful for beginners touch temperture sensor .If you can arrange time .Can you make a video optical sensor ? "what is a optical sensor ? thank you very much.
NICE video, well done @realpars, I enjoyed all the videos on this platform. Pls I will like to know where or how I can get simatic manager simulator S7 software download . thank you.
Thermocouples and RTD sensors can be packaged in the same manner. Yes, you could reverse the pictures and still be correct. The RTD is shown as a sensor remote from its connection point, like a PLC card. The thermocouple is shown integrated into a measurement head. I can also have remote thermocouple sensors and integral RTD sensors. Sometimes, the only way to tell is to check the number and colors of the wires.
Yes, passive sensors respond to physical changes, such as resistance (RTD), induced voltage (Thermocouple), pressure (diaphragm pressure element), strain (load cell), etc. Transmitters and other powered devices are considered active devices. A magnetic flowmeter requires power to create the magnetic field that is used to detect flow.
The temperature sensor functions solely to sense temperature. A Temperature Transmitter serves to convert the signal generated by a temperature sensor into a standardized instrumentation signal, which represents the temperature of the process variable being monitored and regulated. Typically, this signal ranges from 4 to 20 mA. Subsequently, this signal is transmitted to a Controller, which determines the necessary action and generates an appropriate output signal. In contemporary process control systems, controllers are typically either a PLC or a DCS. For instance, the Heating/Cooling system directly impacts the process under the guidance of the controller.

Hello, i checked your website and discovered that you dont offer online training to some locations, Africa specifically. Is there anything you are doing to extend your trainings to those in Africa?
Hi Kelvin, Thanks for reaching out to us over here at RealPars. Thanks for letting us know about this, as this is not the case at all. Our online learning platform is luckily available to everyone regardless on where they are geographically located. Could you tell me where you found that information? We surely want to correct that immediately. :) Feel free to subscribe to our Course Library through the following link bit.ly/2IpeCp3 If you experience any issues or need any further assistance then definitely reach out to us either here on TH-cam or through the following email addresses: hello@realpars.com support@realpars.com Our apologies for any confusion. Happy learning!
4-20ma is the most commonly-used signal type for industrial sensors. This current-based signal is relatively immune to electrical interference and can be run a long distance. At the PLC card, there is a 250-ohm resistor located internally inside the PLC card that converts the signal to 1-5 VDC which is the native signal range for transistor-based electronics. Some lab instruments output native 1-5 VDC, but those are not as common and would require a special analog input card if brought into the PLC.
Hi Marvin, You are very welcome! We have a full course library filled with 400 course videos on PLC Programming. You can have a look at that through this link realpars.com/. If you have any questions, feel free to send them our way!
There are many different definitions for active and passive sensors. The distinction is not critical to the discussion of temperature measurement devices, but it is necessary to understand how these devices work. A thermocouple generates an electrical current in response to temperature changes. This is usually regarded as an active sensor since a current is generated by the device. RTD's are usually considered passive because they respond to an external stimulus with a change in a physical property like resistance. Passive devices typically require additional electrical energy for excitation. The confusion comes in because in some industries (aviation for example), active sensors are those that are externally powered and passive sensors do not require external power.
Hi Yassine, Thanks for your comment! We currently only provide our course videos in English, you are always able to turn on the English subtitles as that might make it a bit easier for you. Our apologies for any inconvenience!
Temperature sensors measure the temperature of the fluid by detection a change in a physical property of the measurement leads. As temperature changes, and RTD sees a difference in the detected electrical resistance (in ohms) and a thermocouple detects a change in voltage (mV). These signals are converted to a temperature in C or F at the input card or are transmitted as a 4-20ma analog signal representing a configured temperature range to the control device.

Happy to hear that, Vivek! Thank you.
As my practice, in the environment with high electromagnetic interference I refer use RTD sensors.
Use vacuum , pressure and atmospheric pressure as Transistor is best all around sensor because it is sensitive and it is self aware of its own and surounding
It was a great illustration even I'm lack of knowedge about instrumentation! Thanks!!
Great! You are very welcome.
Very well explained

When 1-5 V singal range is used? And when 4-20 mA is used?
4-20ma is the most commonly-used signal type for industrial sensors. This current-based signal is relatively immune to electrical interference and can be run a long distance. At the PLC card, there is a 250-ohm resistor located internally inside the PLC card that converts the signal to 1-5 VDC which is the native signal range for transistor-based electronics.

Hi Yassine,
Thanks for your comment! We currently only provide our course videos in English, you are always able to turn on the English subtitles as that might make it a bit easier for you.
Our apologies for any inconvenience!
Which are the parameters used in this sensor?
Temperature sensors measure the temperature of the fluid by detection a change in a physical property of the measurement leads. As temperature changes, and RTD sees a difference in the detected electrical resistance (in ohms) and a thermocouple detects a change in voltage (mV). These signals are converted to a temperature in C or F at the input card or are transmitted as a 4-20ma analog signal representing a configured temperature range to the control device.
By knowing the words: temprature, and sensor, you should have got enough information about what such device does.
BEST!
