By now you may realize that even though a large variety of sensors are available for use in electronic circuits, they all have much in common, which makes it easier for industries to stock replacement parts. For this reason one may start to notice that electrically, all sensors will look similar since they tend to use either a 4-20 mA or a 0-10 volt signal. This also makes it easier to exchange sensor types and utilize a wide variety of sensors for any given application. Modern industrial electronic circuits and components provide the means to ensure that the wide range of sensors is compatible with industrial controllers through the use of transducers or transmitters. The major differences between sensors are the theories of operation they utilize to sense and amplify the signals.
