1. High degree of activity;
2. A few shapes have multi-faceted adaptability, and can be made into arbitrary shape of optical fiber sensors;
3. It can manufacture devices that sense various physical information (sound, magnetism, temperature, rotation, etc.);
4. It can be used in high voltage, electrical noise, high temperature, corrosion, or other harsh environments;
5. And it has internal compatibility with optical fiber telemetry technology.
The advantage of optical fiber sensor is that compared with traditional sensors, optical fiber sensor uses light as the carrier of active network information, and uses optical fiber as the medium to transmit active network information, which has the characteristics of optical fiber and optical measurement, and has a series of common advantages. Good electrical insulation performance, strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability, non-invasive, high flexibility, simple realization of long-distance monitoring of the measured signal, corrosion resistance, explosion-proof, flexible optical path, easy to connect with the computer.
The sensor is carried out in the direction of activism, accuracy, adaptability, small and intelligence, which can play a role in the eyes and ears of people in places that cannot be reached by people (such as high temperature areas or areas harmful to people, such as nuclear radiation areas), and can also cross the physiological boundaries of people and receive external information that cannot be felt by human senses.

The difference between a fiber optic sensor and a photoelectric sensor – ifm
The first point is that photoelectric sensors and fiber optic sensors work differently
First of all, from the principle of operation of the two, first of all, the photoelectric sensor is operated according to the principle of the photoelectric effect, that is to say, when the light hits the photoelectric sensor made of semiconductors, the light will be announced.

Range, accuracy and installation of load cells – ifm
1. The scale of the sensor:
(1) In normal use (static test or quasi-static test, the frequency of use is not high), the scale of the sensor should be selected to consider the force value of the measurement, but also consider the weight of the auxiliary tool (test fixture) and so on.

Precautions for the installation of ultrasonic level gauges
1. The appearance is installed outdoors, and it is recommended to install a sunshade to prolong the service life of the appearance.
2. Wire and cable protection pipes should be sealed to avoid water accumulation.
3. Although the appearance itself is equipped with lightning protection equipment, when the appearance is used in the multi-lightning area, it is advocated to distinguish the inlet and outlet lines on the surface.

Sensor performance indicators – ifm
Selection of sensitivity
In general, within the linear scale of the sensor, the higher the sensitivity of the sensor, the better. Because as long as the sensitivity is high, the value of the output signal corresponding to the measured change is relatively large, which is conducive to the signal processing.

High-frequency pressure sensor output signal – ifm
The conversion of the pressure to the electrical signal is done by the physical deformation of the strain gauge, and the strain gauge is bonded to the diaphragm of the pressure sensor and wired into a Wheatstone bridge structure. The pressure exerted on a high-frequency pressure sensor causes the diaphragm to flex, which causes the strain gauge to strain. Strain will occur ...

Correct use of the high-temperature pressure sensor method – ifm
1. It is necessary for the sensor to be properly installed
Damage to high-temperature pressure sensors is usually caused by their installation in improperly machined holes. When the sensor is loaded into a hole that is too small or eccentric, the sensor diaphragm may be damaged, which can then cause the instrument to not function properly.
