POSITAL Position and Motion Sensors
A position sensor (also known as a motion sensor) is used to precisely determine the physical position and / or speed of the assembly attached to it at a specific and particular time. This information is then transmitted to a computer which will use it for system control or operations control purposes. The physical position can take several forms: it can be the location of the system in the environment, or its state with respect to an axis (rotation or inclination). The speed is obtained simply by deriving this position with respect to time.

Sensors can be classified by using several different categories. The most commonly used are:
Categories | |
|---|---|
Accuracy | Corresponds to the smallest variation that the sensor can detect (degree, μm). |
Reliability | Corresponds to the average variation between two consecutive measurements. |
Resistance to Environmental Conditions | Typically temperature, humidity, dust and shock, corrosion, speed. |
Base Technology | Magnetic or optical, for example. |
Communication Interface | There are more than ten. |
Resolution | Is measured in bits. Generally between 8 and 16. This corresponds to the number of divisions for a unit of measure (e.g. 13 bits = 8,192 divisions for 360 °). |
Measuring Range | Measurement length or maximum angle of inclination. |
Mechanical Design | Different coupling options, flanges, etc. |
Connection | The output connection can be made with a cable or through connectors (male / female). |
