    Sensors measure physical properties and provide analog data that requires conversion to digital for computer processing. Microprocessors analyze sensor data and take necessary actions to control devices like motors and valves through a feedback loop, adjusting output based on sensor readings. There are two main types of automated systems - control systems where the computer sends signals to control devices, and monitoring systems where the computer only monitors processes and triggers alarms.

    Sensors And Automated Systems:

    1. Sensors measure physical properties (e.g., temperature, pressure, acidity, length).


    2. Analog data is constantly changing and has no fixed value.
    3. Analog data requires interpretation by users (e.g., reading a thermometer).
    4. Interpretation of analog data can result in many possible values.
    5. Precision affects interpretation of analog data.
    6. Precision impacts the number of possible values obtained.
    7. Different sensors measure the same property with varying precision.
    8. Analog data needs conversion to digital for computer processing.
    9. Sensors provide constant values and do not send readings only when parameters change.
    10. Microprocessors analyze sensor data and take necessary actions.
    11. Sensors only provide data and do not initiate actions.
    ADC:
    1. Computers need digital data, not analog.
    2. Analog data is converted to digital for computers to understand.
    3. This conversion is done using analog to digital converters (ADCs).
    4. ADCs turn physical values into digital values.
    5. Digital values are exact and distinct.

    DAC:
    1. Computers control devices like motors and valves.
    2. These devices often need analog data to operate.
    3. Digital to analog converters (DACs) are used to convert digital data to analog.
    4. DACs are used with these devices to convert the digital control signal to analog.
    5. The converted signal is used to control the device (actuator).
    Feedback in automated systems:
    1. Sensor readings trigger actions to alter devices like valves or motors.
    2. Altered devices may affect the next sensor reading.
    3. Microprocessor adjusts output based on sensor readings to bring the system within desired
    parameters.
    4. This process is called feedback.
    Types of Automated System:
    1. Control System
    1. Sensors send signals
    to the microprocessor
    or computer.
    2. The signals may need
    to be converted to
    digital
    using an analogue to
    digital converter (ADC).
    3. The computer or microprocessor analyzes the data received and compares it to stored
    values.
    4. If the new data is outside the acceptable range, the computer or microprocessor sends
    signals to control valves, motors, or other devices.
    5. The output from the system affects the next set of inputs from the sensors.
    2. Monitoring System
    1. Sensors send signals to a microprocessor or computer.
    2. The signals may be converted to digital using an analogue to digital converter (ADC).
    3. The microprocessor or computer analyzes the received data by comparing it to stored
    values.
    4. If the new data falls outside the acceptable range, a warning message is displayed on a
    screen or an alarm is triggered.
    5. The microprocessor or computer only monitors the process and has no effect on what is
    being monitored.
