SENSOR
A sensor is an electronic equipment that is used to detect and observe
the physical activities and pass the notification/signal to other
electrical control devices.
In an automation system, the sensor is the most important equipment
that provides an input to the programmable logic controller (PLC).
Different types of Sensors
Sensors are split up into four main categories. Such as,
Analog Sensor
Digital Sensor
Active Sensor &
Passive Sensor
Each category having the different types of sensors.
20 Different types of Sensors & Their Role
1. Temperature Sensor:
Temperature sensor uses to detect the temperature and heat
energy and convert it into an electrical signal (in form of voltage
or current).
Temperature Sensors can be analog or digital. In an Analog
Temperature Sensor, the changes in the Temperature correspond
to change in its physical property like resistance or voltage.
LM35 is a classic Analog Temperature Sensor. Digital
Temperature Sensor, the output is a discrete digital value
(usually, some numerical data after converting analog value to
digital value). DS18B20 is a simple Digital Temperature Sensor.

For detecting moisture in air and soil, the humidity sensor is very
essential. Mostly, it is used in Air Conditioner (AC) system.
Humidity Sensors are classified into Capacitive Type:
Resistive Type.
Thermal Conductive Tepidity sensor.
WS1 Pro is an example of the wireless humidity sensor.
8. P a g e | 7
8. Vibration Sensor:
Sometimes, vibration sensor is known as Piezoelectric Sensor.
The vibration sensor detects and records any movement or
activities. And it provides data or signals to connected machines
or systems.
This sensor helps to send acknowledgement if there is any
hazardous activity.
In an industrial area such as gas and oil, food and beverage,
mining, metalworking, paper, wind power, power generation, the
vibration sensors are needed.
9. Proximity Sensor:
Proximity sensor can easily detect nearby objects without any
physical touch. It is divided into different types like-
Capacitive Proximity Sensor.
Inductive Proximity Sensor.
It is widely used in smartphones, tablet computers, machines,
robotic systems, roller coasters, etc.
9. P a g e | 8
10. Color Sensor:
Color sensor is the type of photoelectric sensor.
It helps to sense the color of an object and recognize the color
mark. This sensor uses RGB (red, green, and blue) color scale.
SEN-11195 is the best example of the color sensor.
For color painting and printing, cosmetic material, textile area,
medical diagnosis, computer color monitor, and the process
control, color sensor is used.
11. Gas or Smoke Sensor:
Some of these sensors are also capable to measure gas
concentration.
Gas or smoke sensor is divided into three parts:
Optical Type Smoke Sensor
Ionization Type Smoke Sensor
Laser Type Smoke Sensor
Smoke sensor is used in plant, industries, buildings, ships,
airplanes, etc.
10. P a g e | 9
12. Alcohol Sensor:
An Alcohol Sensor detects alcohol. Usually, alcohol sensors are
used in breathalyzer devices, which determine whether a person
is drunk or not. Law enforcement personnel uses breathalyzers
to catch drunk-and-drive culprits.
13. Tilt Sensor:
Often used to detect inclination or orientation, Tilt Sensors are
one of the simplest and inexpensive sensors out there.
Previously, tilt sensors are made up of Mercury (and hence they
are sometimes called as Mercury Switches) but most modern tilt
sensors contain a roller ball.
11. P a g e | 10
14. Ultrasonic Sensor:
An Ultrasonic Sensor is a non-contact type device that can be
used to measure distance as well as velocity of an object. An
Ultrasonic Sensor works based on the properties of the sound
waves with frequency greater than that of the human audible
range.
Using the time of flight of the sound wave, an Ultrasonic Sensor
can measure the distance of the object (similar to SONAR). The
Doppler Shift property of the sound wave is used to measure the
velocity of an object.
15. Infrared Sensor (IR Sensor):
IR Sensors or Infrared Sensor are light based sensor that are used
in various applications like Proximity and Object Detection. IR
Sensors are used as proximity sensors in almost all mobile
phones.
There are two types of Infrared or IR Sensors: Transmissive Type
and Reflective Type. In Transmissive Type IR Sensor, the IR
Transmitter (usually an IR LED) and the IR Detector (usually a
Photo Diode) are positioned facing each other so that when an
object passes between them, the sensor detects the object.
The other type of IR Sensor is a Reflective Type IR Sensor. In
this, the transmitter and the detector are positioned adjacent to
12. P a g e | 11
each other facing the object. When an object comes in front of the
sensor, the infrared light from the IR Transmitter is reflected from
the object and is detected by the IR Receiver and thus the sensor
detects the object.
Different applications where IR Sensor is implemented are
Mobile Phones, Robots, Industrial assembly, automobiles etc.
16. Flow Sensor or Float Sensor:
Flow sensor measures and detects virtually any process fluid.
This detected data will be provided to the controller system.
It is used in industrial area, power generating instruments,
power plant, etc.
