We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Signal Conditioning",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Hydraulics system sensors are very compact from
Parker Hannifin, which we summarised at the time by saying "A range of pressure, temperature, accelerometer, proximity, rotary and tilt sensors are extremely compact and lightweight, and meet the specific needs of the mobile sector".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release HMIs get DeviceNet slave connectivity from
Red Lion Controls: "The G3DN DeviceNet option card allows users to quickly add DeviceNet slave connectivity to any of the G3 series of operator interfaces".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Eurotherm
concerning its 'EPower' power controller
- take a look at Load management controls electrical costs
which says: "Power controller has a predictive load management function which is highly effective in managing power demand to control peak electricity usage".
Take a look also at the news release from Eurotherm, Controller performs PID loops outside the PLC,
as well as Temperature Measured accurately via the Internet from Measurement Computing,
and Temperature measurement guides are on-line from Ametek Calibration Instruments.
