Abstract:
The sensors containing microcontrollers, digitizers and some standard communication line(s), offering digital output expressed in corresponding units of measured quantities, are usually called intelligent sensors. This contribution offers another view on the sensor intelligence – on the ability to adapt their measuring range to different tested materials’ physical properties to get accurate results. The article describes two methods of measurements and control of band material position by means of optical sensors, which adapt their range to the current optical properties of the material used (steel, web or plastic foil).
