Basic Introduction To Smart Sensors

Smart sensors are sensors with information processing functions. The intelligent sensor has a microprocessor, which has the ability to collect, process and exchange information. It is the product of the combination of sensor integration and microprocessor. Compared with general sensors, smart sensors have the following three advantages: high-precision information collection can be achieved through software technology, and the cost is low; it has certain programming automation capabilities; and its functions are diversified.

A good 'smart sensor' is a sensor and instrumentation package driven by a microprocessor with functions such as communication and on-board diagnostics.
