      Sensors
Analogue and Digital
      Control
Example question
What is a sensor exactly?
• Sensors measure the physical world and translate
  into an analogue electrical signal.
• Examples are:
  –   Light
  –   Sound
  –   Temperature
  –   Pressure
  –   Acceleration
  –   Motion                  Value = Analogue value that
                              varies continuously
  –   Heat
Analogue and Digital
•   Analogue signals use a
    continuous range of
    values – like those from a
    sensor.

•   Digital signals have
    discrete values, such as
    on/off or 0/1. Inbetween
    values are not used.

             Sensor               Digital    Computer
                                 Converter
Monitoring and Control
• We can’t control the weather
• We just measure - Monitoring




                • We do control machines
                • The key concept is feedback
