ELECTRONIC TRANSMITTER

Electronic Transmitter are generally Classified in to

 Non Smart Electronic Transmitter

 Smart Electronic Transmitter

 Non Smart Electronic Transmitter (Analog)

Widely used Industrial Process Variables Including this type. It’s Available from Different ranges and
measuring the entire process Variable with many of the physical units. Its Calibration process is done by
manually.

The Standard Featured of the non-smart transmitters are the input is 24VDC and output is 4-20 MA.
Damping is 0.5 or 1 second amplifying section conversion unit, Display unit and the terminal portion etc.

The Sensor in Similar in pneumatic type sensor. Physically is small in shape, same silicon liquid also filled
in the capsule. Signal amplifying section and conversion units are electronic cards. The terminal portion
contains input and output terminal blocks or screws. Mainly non-smart electronic transmitters have
three or four connecting screws.24VDC supply connecting to the plus minus terminal. The third screw
used for indicator connecting and the fourth screw used for grounding purpose.

 Smart Electronic Transmitter (Digital)

Single moduled addressable range able transducers are the smart transmitters

Measuring Principle of a smart Transmitter

The process of pressure (Differential gauge or absolute acts upon the primary sensor in the
meter body section causing variations in the sensors resistance value. At the same time, two
auxiliary sensors temperatures and static pressure formed on the sensor chip, sence ambient
temperature and process state.

SMART TRANSMITTER

A SMART sensors functional performance and measurement capabilities are enhanced by being
connected to a microprocessor. Often the internal microprocessor is added to a transmitter
linked to a transducer. A SMART transducer therefore could be a packaged sensor using digital
signal processing to provide performance enhancement to the used. Such a device employs a
microprocessor to provide digital temperature compensation, digital calibration and function
such as remote programming. Thus the SMART ness in a sensor actually applies to increasing
functional sophistication in the sensor and in the system with in which the sensor operates.
