This document discusses various types of sensors used for signal acquisition, including position sensors, speed sensors, pressure sensors, acceleration sensors, and temperature sensors. It also discusses actuators that convert electrical outputs from controllers into physical actions on a process, such as electric motors and solenoid valves. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are introduced as controllers commonly used for discrete manufacturing processes requiring binary control signals. Key characteristics of PLCs like redundancy, response time, memory organization, and synchronous operation are outlined.
