Process variable transmitter with acceleration sensor

This invention describes an industrial sensor that measures things like temperature or pressure, but also includes a separate vibration sensor. The vibration sensor is a distinct component attached to the main device, possibly near the primary sensor, and helps the system diagnose problems by comparing the main measurement with how much the device is shaking.

Why it matters: Since 2007, MEMS accelerometers have become significantly cheaper and more compact, making their integration into industrial transmitters more cost-effective. Advances in embedded processing power also simplify the diagnostic logic needed to combine sensor data for vibration analysis.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateElectronic sensors, processing logic, industrial housing.
