eyes, ears, touch, and feel of automated systems. They relay signals to the "brain" of the system in order for the system to react accordingly. This industry recognized certification will introduce the participant to various sensors
common in the industrial auto-mation field. Hands-on experience plays a central role in teaching the fundamentals of
sensors. Examples are used to demonstrate the general operational principles of different sensors. Special attention
is paid to the selection of the right sensor, its connection, the correct setting and functional checking.
