Sensors and transmitters have been playing an increasingly important role in the field of instruments and meters, and in industrial automation. These two instruments are commonly used on equipment that requires temperature, pressure, flow, and object-space measurements, and the results must be transmitted for further automation control.
Those unaccustomed with such instruments may easily get confused since both sensor and transmitter are used for medium measurement. So, to get started, let’s first talk about the differences between sensors and transmitters.
