SIP380AC
Instrumentation Transducers
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This laboratory course is supported by background discussion on a variety of energy
transducers used in industrial instrumentation. The course covers electrical meters,
temperature, linear motion, optical devices, strain gauges and inductive devices.
Twenty-eight experiments are provided. A variety of bridge circuits and amplifiers are
evaluated and related to practical applications. The course is applicable to Industrial
Controls or Biomedical programs.
The panels for this course may be powered by inserting them into the S300B Master Builder, the S400 Smart Builder or the S300PSB Power Supply Base. If it is desired to breadboard or vary panel circuits, or to do general bread boarding, select the S300B.
COURSE TIME: 90 Hours
