Monitoring and maintaining process variables at the appropriate levels is extremely critical in industrial automation and process control. A sensor in the industrial environment is either continuously or periodically measuring vital parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow, etc. The primary challenge of sensing in industrial environments is conditioning low signal levels in the presence of high noise and high-surge voltage.
TI provides reference designs and products that are optimized for industrial environments and extend product life cycles.
With the increase in smart building automation systems, the need for wireless, battery powered sensor nodes is growing. TI's wireless sensor node training covers the basics of wireless sensor node optimization with focus on extending battery life, key sensor node requirements, existing and future building automation system architectures and more.
