Understanding the accuracy of sensors – ifm

Create Date: 2024-8-30 12:03:23|Source: IFM/ifm

There are three indicators of precision: precision, correctness, and precision, but how do you understand them?

precision

It sheds light on the sloppy nature of the measurement results. That is, for a stable target (to be measured), the same measurer uses the same sensor and measurement appearance to repeat the measurement for many times in an appropriate short period of time (equal precision measurement), and the measurement results are scattered. The smaller the precision, the more precise the measurement (corresponding to random errors).

Correctness

Clarify the degree to which the measurement result deviates from the true value, that is, the degree to which the indicated value deviates from the true value in a regular manner. Refers to the degree to which the measured value is compounded with the true value (corresponding to the system error).

precision

Accuracy is a comprehensive reflection of the correctness and precision of measurement. That is, the comprehensive degree of excellence measured. In the simplest case, the algebraic sum of the two can be taken, i.e., τ = ε + δ. The general accuracy is expressed in terms of the relative value of the measurement error.

What is the relationship between the three?

The results of multiple measurements are relatively consistent, but the errors are large - there is precision, but there is no accuracy.

Most of the results measured multiple times are accurate, but the consistency is poor - there is accuracy, but there is no precision.

Most of the results measured multiple times are accurate, and the consistency is good - there is precision, there is precision - there is precision.

The difference between an ifm level sensor and a level switch The difference between an ifm level sensor and a level switch

Many people are stupid and can't tell the difference between the liquid level sensor and the liquid level switch, and even think that they are the same instrument. In fact, there is a big difference between them. The level sensor does not necessarily display the liquid level, but outputs the liquid level in the form of an electrical signal. The liquid level controller is based on the liquid level sensor ...
