 Concepts and types of Sensors and Actuators, Input and Output
devices, Opto-electronics, and devices
Sensor is a device used for the conversion of physical events or
characteristics into the electrical signals. This is a hardware device
that takes the input from environment and gives to the system by
converting It while
Actuator is a device that converts the electrical signals into the
physical events or characteristics. It takes the input from the
system and gives output to the environment. Common types are
thermal sensors like thermometer, thermal actuators like bimetallic
strip, mechanical sensors like pressure sensor and mechanical
actuators like screw jack, electrical sensors like ohmmeter and
electrical actuators like electric motor.

What are Input and Output devices in Industrial electronics?

An input device responds to changes in the environment and produces a

suitable electrical signal for processing in an electronic circuit. In all input
devices, other forms of energy are transformed into electrical energy. An
output device or actuator
is the thing that is most often controlled in a control system. The two most
common types of actuators are relays and motors. There are many types
of both.
What are Opto-electronics and devices?

Optoelectronics is the communication between optics and electronics which

includes the study, design and manufacture of a hardware device that converts
electrical energy into light and light into energy through semiconductors. This
device is made from solid crystalline materials which are lighter than metals and
heavier than insulators. Common types are Photodiode, Solar Cells, Light
Emitting Diodes, Optical Fiber, Laser Diodes.

Fire Detection and Alarm System input and output devices

The fire alarm control panel responds to any of these signals by lighting up or
making noise, activating local bells or other signals, and/or sending a signal to
fire officials or a private monitoring company tasked with notifying the
authorities.

Answer the ff. question based from what you have learned in the
lesson

1. Give examples of sensors or actuators, opto-electronic in

principles that you see in your house?
2. In your own opinion, what make these devices important in
industry and life?
Learning Task: Create Poster / Infographic / Video
Instructions:

1. Research using the internet or interview an industrial electrician or electronic

technician in your neighborhood on how to conduct a complete checkup of
either a sensor, actuator, input or output device and verify defects.
2. Create an infographic, poster or video (choose only one format).
● For infographic, send a 1-page digital copy
● For making poster, use 1/8 illustration board
● For video, record a 3-minute recorded demo video.
3. For submission of digital copy send this on the email address
ryan.baile@deped.gov.ph or FB via group chat EPAS12@SJNHS SHS
