All industries are interested in improving their processes, whether in the area of quality, safety, or cost reduction. The use of sensors to continually measure and monitor the process is growing as plant managers see the benefits of keeping manufacturing processes at the right temperatures, scrapping less product due to breakdowns, and using the least amount of energy possible. Each sensor has a specific function and each is equally important to achieve the overall goal of the perfect process.

NK Technologies makes a large selection of sensors to measure electrical parameters, including current, voltage, and power. The majority of these sensors supply an analog signal in proportion to the measured value. These can be converted to Modbus RTU through our ADC product, but the data still must be delivered to a controller or data acquisition system. The RS485 output can be transmitted via wire, but this is not an option in some applications.
