1-1. INTRODUCTION TO ED-6830 SENSOR TRAINER


Equipment ED-6830 is an integrated sensor experiment solution including
electric/ electronics, auto, and chemistry, and also a perfect PC-based equipment
which makes an individual sensor experiment/practice possible without PC.
ED-6830 consists of a total of 56 types including various kinds of conversion
devices, application modules, and accessories that are necessary for sensor
modules and sensor tests, which makes it possible to have various sensor
practices. It also maximizes the visualization of each sensor to promote an
understanding both for teaching and learning. Additionally, it was designed to let
users directly experience, using an application module, an application sphere of
the sensor that is actually used in the field.
By placing 8 selection ranges at Signal Conditioner(ED-6832), it was designed
to make all the sensor trial tests possible with PNP and NPN types, as well as
resistance, current, and voltage, according to a unique out of each sensor. As
for an application program, it provides a unique output display function for
e-book, job sheet, and sensor, as well as offers a waveform storage function
and Data storage function that saves Data 4 times per second with Excel.

1-1-1. Relevant Knowledge

1) CdS Cell
CdS Cell belongs to the classification of photoconductive cell and can be, so
called, an optical variable resistor with a changable inner resistance caused by
provided amount of light energy. It is a photoconductive with cadmium sulfide as
a main element and additionally has CdSe and CdSSe in terms of structure
material, applying a photoconductive effect, with its application in wide range of
use. Besides, CdS Cell is divided by its manufacturing method into a single
crystal form, small crystal form(multi crystal form), and deposition form. As for
a multi crystal, a temporary configuration can be made, for it forms a find
crystal layer on boards like ceramics, with a light receiving dimension in greater
scale compared to single crystal cell, and also high sensitivity can be obtained
from it. In particular, CdS has been widely used as a sensor for sunshine meters,
such as streetlight flasher sensor, camera autoexposure(AE), and road post, for
its spectral response is similar to a human visibility feature.

2) Special Features of CdS Cell


The size of CdS Cell varies from 5 to 32mm in external diameter. It is weak
against humidity and airtight sealing is applied with two ways - one is glass
sealing type and the other is metal case type. Also, for low price policy, there
are plastic case type and resin coating type, but upgraded coating materials
brought an improved weatherability trustworthiness, and resin coating type is
now in wide distribution due to low price and configuration freedom. Followings
are CdS Cell features :
Retains a spectrum sensitivity in luminous energy sphere.
Interchange motion to be available.
Strong against noises.

63

ED-6830

Later in response speed compared to other photo sensors.


Spectrum sensitivity around luminous energy sphere is likely to have an ambient
light become a disturbance light.

3) CdS Cell Functional Principles


The Table 1-1 below presented CdS Cell structure. When you install an
electrode at both end of CdS Cell, putting it in the dark, and authorizing a
voltage, you can see a small current(negative current) flow on an amperemeter.
This current is small and cell shows high resistance. When light is applied to the
CdS Cell, electric current(positive current) flows. Positive current normally
presents a signal element and negative current shows a noise element. CdS Cell
Resistance gets low when an irradiation light becomes strong, and gets high
when it becomes weak. Accordingly, CdS Cell Resistance varies by light
strongness/weakness. The use of this attribute explains the basic functional
principles of CdS.

1-2-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Photo-Diode
Photo-Diode is a kind of optical sensor that transforms an optical energy into an
electric energy, and consists of semiconductor P-N copula added with an optical
detection function. There is a general physical interaction between light and
material. in which material absorbs optical energy and consequently emits an
electron which is called photoelectric effect. Besides, there is a photovoltaic
effect that has a voltage at semiconductor copula as a result of photoelectric
effect. Photovoltaic effect can also be found between metal electrode and
semiconductor, and between electrode and electrolyte. Photo-Diode is the cell
in use of photoelectric effect that occurs at PN copula which forms p type layer
on n type board, and consists of a dielectric layer on the surface for an effective
use of incident rays. Photo-Diode uses materials that can form PN junction,
such as Si, Ge, GaAs, and InGaAs. Light receiving wavelength varies in its
sphere by material, shape, and PN junction location. Table 1-8 below shows the
functional principles of Photo-Diode.

[Figure 1-8] Photo-diode Functional Principles and Many Types of Photo-diode

Electron goes upward to conduction band, if incident ray energy is greater than
bandcap energy(Eg), with holes left in a valence band. This occurs p layer,
depletion layer, and n layer inside a cell, and the electron in depletion layer
accelerates toward n layer and holes toward p layer, by means of electric field

layer to PN junction and is assembled to p layer valence band. Therefore, inner
Photo-Diode applies a respective electrification to positive(+) on p layer and
negative(-) on n layer, in proportion to the amount of incident rays, to form a
kind of generator. Light receiving sphere of Photo-Diode is mainly decided by
junction structure, but is generally used from 400 to 1100nm in wavelength
sphere, showing the maximized sensitivity especially between 700 and 900nm.

1-3. Photo-Transistor
1-3-1. Relevant Knowledge

1) Photo-Transistor
When light is applied to PN copula, an electron and hole made from light energy
takes an output process to an exterior circuit. Once an electron and hole are
created by incident rays, countercurrent increases, and an output current
responding to the incident rays is obtained, which is called an optical current.
Photo-Transistor has two types - diode cell of PN junction and triode cell of
NPN junction, among which NPN junction with amplifying function has been
used for recent Photo-Transistor in many cases. Besides, Photo-Transistor
also has silicon and germanium, among which silicon Photo-Transistor is mostly
used in terms of sensitivity and stability. The following Table 1-15 is the
structure of NPN Silicon Photo-Transistor. Unlike a normal Transistor which
needs a base electrode, some Photo-Transistors do not have any electrode, for
light replaces a base current.

[Figure 1-15] Structure of Photo-Transistor and Many Types of Photo-Transistor

Now that light receiving sensitivity of Photo-Transistor shows the most


efficiency, when wavelength stays near approx. 8000, GaAs light emitting diode
or tungsten lamp executes the most efficient light energy transformation.
Besides, a good responsiveness leads to multiple use in high-speed switching.

1-4. Reflective Optical Sensor


1-4-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Optical Sensor
Module type Optical Sensor, rather than detecting light itself quantitatively, uses
light to detect existence and nonexistence of an object, or is used for the
decision of speed or location, as well as widely used for level detection or
identification of a specific indication. Optical Sensor has many types like its
wide range of application area, largely divided into a single unit and separation
unit, based on whether or not a sender or emitter & receiver are formed, among
which a single unit is divided into direct reflective type and mirror reflective
type. This type of classification is also applied to Fiber Optical Sensor which is
used for the detection of minute part or any worrying impact like temperature or
mechanic transformation caused by surrounding environments.

Reflective
Unlike a separation sensor, direct reflective sensor contains sender or emitter
& receiver in one body, featuring a single-acting determination of detection
distance, and uses a detection method for an object existence by getting the
light from floodlight part to be reflected from the target object surface to reach
the receiver. When light reflecting on the receiver comes in, we call it Light On
type, for it is judged that there is an object when it becomes bright, as shown in
Table 1-22 for a case study. Direct reflective sensor is not as complicated as a
reflective type or mirror reflective sensor which need to keep some steady
distance through a consistent optical axis, but when the sensing object is black,
detection is not possible and lots of caution need to be considered. In general,
the sensing distance of a direct reflective sensor is shorter than other optical
sensors, but some of the recent optical sensors contain a detection capability up
to many meters(m), and its application has been a lot more diversified by means
of an optical fiber.

Transmission Type : Through Beam


Transmission type optical sensor, as shown in Figure 1-31 below, consists of a
sender which emits light and a receiver that receive light under a different body.
It is a sensor which creates an output signal through an isolation and
transmission, in which a sender and receiver face each other, with an optical
axis fixed into them, to let an object go through the opening. This type of sensor
is hardly used for detecting a transparent object, and when it needs to be used
with several sensors placed vertically, keen attention is required, for it may
bring an error by a light extension.

Special Features of Optical Fiber Sensor


Optical Fiber Sensor, eliminated a lens which was the absolute condition for a

mark detection and microminiature object by assembling an optical fiber cable,
instead. This sensor can be freely connected and used even at small sites
through the flexibility of an optical fiber. Its basic operation principles is similar
to the transmission type and reflective type sensor, which is more likely to be

1-7-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Rotary Sensor

[Figure 1-49] Construct Concept Map for Rotary Encoder

When there is a rotating object, Rotary Encoder is used to present a precise


rotation angle. Rotary Encoder has 2 types : one is photoelectric in use of LED
and optical sensor, the other is magnetic type in use of magnetic sensor. If one
uses the Rotary Encoder, it can detect a rotation angle and rotation speed(rotational
frequency) per hourly traveling distance. In particular, it can be also used even
for a linear scale to the direction of straight line, when one jointly use a certain
tool which converts a direction traveling to the straight line into a rotary
direction traveling. The Figure 1-49 above shows a construct concept map for
Rotary Encoder.
Rotary Encoder is divided into 2 types : one is Incremental type and the other is
Absolute type. Incremental type, as a demerit, contains an accumulated noises
caused by 90 phase difference one another through rotation. Absolute type, on
the other hand, owns a hole on a code which corresponds to the location
coordinates of a rotation board, to generate an output signal for the code, so
one can grasp the current absolute location. Therefore, it hardly occurs, like the
incremental type, to lose the location even when the power gets On again after
its Off. The resolving power of rotation angle becomes 1/2n when there is a

109

ED-6830

hole of n line in the direction of radius. In general, the output signal of Rotary
Encoder is easy to use, for it is a digital signal compatible with TTL IC, and it is
variously used for : digital media appliances such as XY plotter, electronic
typewriter; measuring instruments such as high-precision linear scale or
electronic scale; motion instruments including XY table and rotation table.

2-1-1. Relevant Knowledge

Capacitive Proximity Sensor


Capacitive Proximity Sensor makes use of the principle that a capacitance
between a detection electrode and a ground rises when a detection object
approaches sensor, so detections of all objects such as a conductor and
dielectric substance are possible. Capacitance is determined by types of
electrode conductor size, electrode interval, and dielectric substance. Figure
2-1 below shows the simple definition of Capacitive Proximity Sensor. When
there is no cracker, capacitance C 1 has been formed between test plate and
board. As the cracker enters a specific area, the body forms 2 new capacitors
around. That is, supposing that C a, as capacitance between body and test plate,
and C b as the one between body and board, we can find a new capacitance
between test plate and ground as follows :

C = C 1 + C

= C1+

C aC b
C a +C b

As such, when someone breaks into sensor, capacitance between sensor


electrode and ground shows a substantial increase. Followings are the
summarized features of Capacitive Proximity Sensor(Switch) :
Strengths : Unlike a lacteal gland type sensor, an electric field is used as
detection media. So, it is also possible to detect metal and dielectric
substance. Besides, since detection is drawn by the difference of
dielectric substances, it is possible to sense an object contained in
non-metal utensils such as paper, glass, and plastic. Additionally, it
is not influenced by the exterior condition of detection object such
as polish or color, and the detection of transparent object is also
possible.
Weakness : Rather slower in response speed than a lacteal gland style. Capacitive

Proximity Sensor has now completed with its development, so it can


detect a wet detection object without any maloperation.

2-2. Lacteal Gland Style Proximity Sensor


2-2-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Lacteal Gland Style Proximity Sensor
Lacteal Gland Style or High Frequency Oscillation Proximity Sensor is used for
the detection of metallic object and particularly shows a good detection
sensitivity and long detection distance for a ferrous target. Detection coil wound
up by ferrite core consists of part of high-frequency oscillator circuit.
Alternating current flows through a detection coil to generate high-frequency
magnetic field, and once metallic object enters the inner part of the magnetic
field, eddy current flows through the inner part of metal conductor by an
electronic induction action, which causes a loss of heat. This leads to the
change in loss resistance of the detection coil and inductance. This change
takes an output through the change of oscillation frequency or oscillation
amplitude of oscillation circuit. Figure 2-9 below shows the constitution and
motion principle of Lacteal Gland Style Proximity Sensor.

3-1. LOAD CELL


3-1-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) LOAD CELL
Load Cell is sensor which outputs an elastic body strain by load that is
transformed into an electronic signal, after applying strain gage to a metallic
conductor. The manufacturing outline of commercialized Load Cell takes as
follows : As 4 strain gages generating a tension and compressure are connected
in the form of bridge circuit, each junction is constituted additionally by zero
compensation, temperature compensation, and young modules compensated
resistance, along with a structure of dampproofing and secrecy preservation.
Strain gage of 350 primary resistance is used for most of Load Cells many
times, with a precision as approx. 1/1000 to 1/5000. Regarding a bridge
simulation voltage 1V, it presents 1 to 4 sensitivity at maximum load and
simulation voltage is generally between 10V and 20V. Deformation under a
rated load is designed to be within 0.2mm, with natural frequency mostly less
than 300. But, an error occurs

involving an eccentric load, when the load

applied to Load button doesn't take a vertical direction towards deformation, and
a measuring error by angles shows approx. 0.05 to 1%/deg.

2) Types of LOAD CELL


Column Type
It is column-shaped and load is applied up and down, with 2 pieces of
strain gage applied vertically and horizontally for measuring. As for
strengths, it is easy for the production of large-capacity Load Cell, but
low precision and high error in imposed load leaning on one side require
precautions in use.

135

ED-6830

Ring Type
It has 4 pieces of strain gages applied to the inner part of round shape,
allowing a higher precision than column type, and both use of tension and
compressure

point,

while

that

large-capacity and small-capacity production are difficult.


Bending Type
It pursues a way of measuring a bending amount taken with a rectangular
stick in support of one or both side. As for a good point, it is easy to
attach and shows high precision, while large-capacity production is
difficult

and

structurally

hard

lies

under

the

restrictions, as a weak point.


Shear type
Measuring a sheer stress by attaching strain gage at the angle of 45
degrees, it allows a good lateral load measurement and strong internal
force as a good point, but hard processing is a weak point

3-2. Semiconductor Type Pressure Sensor


3-2-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Semiconductor Type Pressure Sensor
Pressure Sensor, as a pressure-measuring cell in a process or system, is one of
the most widely and multiply-used sensors in : industrial instrumentation,
automatic control, medical treatment, auto engine control, environmental control,
and electronic appliances. Its measuring principle exploits displacement,
transformation, magnetism - thermal conductivity, and frequency, putting many
of the types to a current practical use. Due to the advanced semiconductor
technology and micro machine technology, people have recently been showing
their keen interest in more miniaturized and complicated multiple-function smart
sensor.

2) Types of Pressure Sensor


Mechanical Pressure Sensor
Mechanical Pressure Sensor, has many types but its leading one is Bourdon
Tube, Diaphragm, and Bellows. Elastic Bourdon is mostly used among them and
its section consists of a round or parallel metal pipe, making use of the principle
in which other vertical hem of sealed pipes makes a motion when a measuring
pressure is introduced from an open fixed end. The motion vector of this pipe
line is in proportions to pressure size of the inner pipe, so the motion vector
indicates a mechanically-expanded pressure.
Diaphragm, and Bellows are also in current use in many cases next to Elastic
Bourdon. Diaphragm measures each pressure according to the benting degree of
round plate in proportions to a pressure gap, while Bellows measures each
pressure based on the displacement in proportions to pressure gaps, by having
expand and contract bellows through interior cylinder and exterior pressure
gap.

146

Electronic Pressure Sensor


Most of the Electronic Pressure Sensors are basically the same as the
mechanical

type,

only

different

in

transformation

part

which

converts

mechanical displacement into electric signals. Capacitive pressure sensor


basically exploits a measuring method with which an electric capacitance
alteration and in-between displacement of 2 objects(electrode) are measured.
Besides, there are other types : piez-electric type using strain gage,
piez-electric type using organic or inorganic piez-electric element, and coil
style with LVDT inductive type. Optical type pressure sensor using an optical
fiber or optical path difference has been recently in practical use, for the
purpose of ultra-heat environment or remote sensitivity. Piez-electric sensor
utilizing strain gage is holding a predominant position in performance and price,
to be most-widely used.

Semiconductor Type Pressure Sensor


Accelerating a recent practical use, Semiconductor Type Pressure Sensor
shows no creep and excels in linearity, along with a strongness against vibration
despite its miniature and light weight. Besides, it boasts of its higher sensitivity
and reliability than a mechanical type, as well as excellent mass production.
This is composed of 2 parts : one is diaphragm which converts pressure into a
leaning stress, and the other is what converts the power from the diaphragm
into an electric signal.
Diaphragm forms chemically-etched single crystal silicon, and mainly uses
piez-electric type and electric capacitance in many cases, though there are
other types that exploit a natural frequency alteration of oscillator and surface
acoustic wave, through the conversion method which transforms the stress from
diaphragm into an electric signal. Piez-electric type among them is called
resistance diffusion type or diffusion type, for impurity diffusion process of
semiconductor is exploited when piez-electric element needs to be formed.
Electric capacitance has an electric capacity between electrodes change, when
electrode plate intervals facing one another are changed by exterior stress.
Stress is detected when the electric capacity alteration is converted to a
electric signal. Electric capacitance, compared to piez-electric resistance, has
more complicated structure in its high sensitivity, electrode formation and

147

ED-6830

connection with exterior circuit, and it has few demands due to bad
responsiveness. On the other hand, it has an excellent temperature feature, a
miniature size and high sensitivity, so lots of advantages are drawn when it is
used in low pressure area like living body. Besides, polycrystalline silicon
pressure sensor consists of a transformation gage with polycrystalline Si thin
film, and the diaphragm made on metal to allow measuring pressure area to be
extended. In addition, there is SOS(Silicon On Sapphire) even applicable to a
weak environment like high temperature and corrosiveness atmosphere. This
sensor exploits the SOS film as a detection element, by having the epitaxial
growth of silicon thin film on a sapphire plate.

3-3. Flow Sensor


3-3-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Flow Sensor
Flow Sensor measures flow using the changes such as fluid pressure, power,
location, heat, and frequency. That is, Flow Sensor measures flow using the
changes such as fluid pressure, power, location, heat, and frequency. As fluid
industry including petrochemistry, auto, aviation, and energy has been in
development with its bigger size, a precise and accurate flow measurement is
now gaining a lot of importance for an efficient process management and
commercial transaction. Regarding flow measurement, there are several flow
measuring methods in practical use, for measuring conditions are quite various
according to flow state, fluid temperature and pressure, measuring range, and
installation site, as well as fluid type as a measuring object. Therefore, when
one needs to implement a flow measurement, measuring conditions should be
reviewed appropriately beforehand and a required accuracy and convenience in
maintenance should also be inspected, before using the sensor eligible for its
application. In recent pace with a rapid increase in the employment of electronic
flow sensor which measures all kinds of gas for auto and semiconductor
industry, desperate necessity for localization is required more than ever.

2) Types
The flow sensor in current practical use is largely divided up into 8 types :
differential pressure type, area type, positive displacement type, rotative
velocity detection type, electronic type, ultrasonic type, parasitic type, and heat
type. Differential pressure type flow sensor is most-frequently used especially
for an industrial purpose, with its wide application range from small flow to big
flow, exploiting the point that the square root of front-and-rear pressure
difference of the throttle installed on a pipeline is in proportion to flow. Area
type flow sensor changes a throttle size through the combination of taper pipe,
buzzer, piston and slit, as well as it is used for minute flow measurement by
exploiting the change of throttle size and flow. Positive displacement type flow
sensor is mostly used for integrating flowmeter, through a measuring method in

155

ED-6830

which rotor and case, and piston and cylinder are exploited, keeping fluid in a
certain measurement with emission repeated in regular cycle, consequently to
measure flow by frequency per hour. Turbine flow sensor is used for fluid
measurement under difficult environments like high temperature, high pressure,
or very low temperature, by exploiting principle that the frequency of rotor is in
proportions to flow. Electronic flow sensor features no impact from fluid
temperature,

viscosity,

and

density,

by

exploiting

the

principle

that

electromotive force occurs in the direction of right angle toward both sides,
after applying a magnetic field at a right angle to the flow of conductivity fluid.
Ultrasonic flow sensor is mostly used for a large-caliber pipeline, based on a
measuring method in which time difference, phase difference, and Doppler
effect are exploited for electric wave velocity alteration of ultrasonic wave by
flux. Parasitic type presents Vortex flow sensor as its leading unit, adopting a
flow calculating method through the measurement of fluid parasitic frequency.
Heat type flow sensor owns a simple structure and wide measuring range, by
exploiting the changes in heat diffusion from heating element by flux. In addition
to this, the methods adopting the use of mass flow sensor and laser
interferometer are available. Mass flow sensor, as a good point, is free from the
impact from temperature and pressure, while laster interferometer type is
non-contact type with high accuracy, which is mostly used for many researches
and standard maintenance.

3-4. Acceleration Sensor


3-4-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Acceleration Sensor
Acceleration Sensor, designed for the sensing of dynamic mechanical state of
acceleration and vibration, detects motion of an object instantaneously and is
considered as an essential element not only in various transportation such as
auto and aircraft, but also in several engineering fields. Acceleration Sensor,
according to detection method, is broadly divided up into inertia type,
capacitance type, and semiconductor-type. First of all, inertia type, as shown in
Figure 3-24 below, exploits an inertial force from the acceleration applied to
mass. When a pendulum is supported by low-friction pivot and acceleration a is
imposed, the pendulum gets a displacement to opposite direction, from which
the displacement is measured to be converted to acceleration.

[Figure 3-24] Acceleration Sensor through


Pendulum

Figure 3-25 below shows an acceleration sensor through vibration and the mass
inside elements is fixed with a string on both sides. Once acceleration is
applied, the tension of the string on both sides of mass forms a difference,

163

ED-6830

through which the frequency of string is detected to be f1 and f2 each. The


difference in frequency is converted into acceleration.

[Figure 3-25] Acceleration Sensor


through Vibration

Capacitance Acceleration Sensor is divided up into 2 parts ; one is fixed part as


the exterior of element, and the other is the mass with an inner flat board
structure, attached to the fixed part. The inner flat board is a function of
distance d, and when the distance is changed by acceleration, capacitance
varies. The left of Figure 3-26 below shows a section structure of acceleration
sensor in use of capacitance. Inner flat board has a sandwich structure and the
right figure below shows a low-part cross section of flat board, along with a
shape of supporting part for flat board mass. Capacitance acceleration sensor

and

temperature function.
Semiconductor type acceleration sensor supplemented flaws of inertia type. For
example, inertia type acceleration sensor is comparatively complicated in
structure, heavy, low in credibility, and difficult in mass production of same
standard.

164

[Figure 3-26] Structure of Acceleration Sensor by Capacitance

Semiconductor type, on the other hand, based on IC(Integrated Circuit), shows


high credibility and is easy for mass production due to its miniature and
lightness. It is mainly manufactured by using silicon, and though it has a
piez-electric resistance as a leading factor, it exploits piez-electric effect and
makes acceleration sensor. Piez-electric acceleration sensor takes a formation
of vibration type mass, with cantilever beam hanging on fixed outward shape.
Piez-electric resistance element corresponds to a diffusion layer and is formed
in cantilever. It is produced on a silicon substrate by etching and has a glass
board attached to both sides for capsulation. Piez-electric resistance has a high
temperature modulus and an expanded resistance for temperature compensation
is manufactured on a chip to compensate that. Figure 3-27 below is the exterior
of acceleration sensor of various types.

4-1-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Gas Sensor
Gas Sensor is an element with a function which corresponds to the smell among
5 human senses, as well as a kind of chemical sensor which has been in use for
detection and quantification of various kinds of gas in the air. It has many types
as follows : semiconductor type gas sensor, solid electrolyte type gas sensor,
electrochemical gas sensor, and combustible catalytic gas sensor.

2) Types
Semiconductor Type Gas Sensor
It has electric resistance type and non-electric resistance type ; electric
resistance type follows the principle that semiconductor electric resistance
makes a change by contact of a gas element with its surface, while non-electric
resistance type exploits the special feature that capacity - voltage and current
- voltage are based on the gas sensing element of diode or MOSFET type.
Electric Resistance Type Gas Sensor : Electric resistance changes, when gas
element generates a chemical response through the absorption of gas element
on the surface of semiconductor. This type is mainly found in a sensing
element for combustible gas.
Non-electric Resistance Type Gas Sensor : Its structure contains the followings
; sinter of metal oxide semiconductor, induction part like diaphragm or thin
film, heater, and explosion proof net. It exploits the point that electric
conductivity makes a change through the sorts of semiconductor and gas, when
gas touches a semiconductor with a continual high temperature.

173

ED-6830

Electrochemical Gas Sensor


Electrochemical Gas Sensor is a measuring unit for current flowing through the
outside circuit, obtained right after target gas is oxidized or converted. In
addition, it has another type which exploits an electromotive force, formed by
the processed ion electrode of solution among electrolyte solution or ion on
ionized gas.
Potentiostatic Gas Sensor : It executes an electrolysis, maintaining the interface
of electrode and electrolyte solution with a steady electric potential. Then,
specific gas can be quantifiable by changing the stated electric potential.
Galvanic Electronic Gas Sensor : Like potentiostatic sas sensor, it measures a
gas density from the current which flows by the electrolysis of sensing target
gas.

Solid Electrolyte Type Gas Sensor


Ion conductor or solid electrolyte among solid isolators is substance which
presents conductivity by ion movement at high temperature.

Combustible Catalytic Gas Sensor


Used for the sensing of combustible gas, it is a gas detection element which
exploits the change of heating wire(platinum wire), made by getting the heat
from detection gas to raise the temperature of element.

4-2. Humidity Sensor


4-2-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Humidity Sensor
Humidity is the amount of vapor included in the air and is described as either of
the followings : absolute humidity
unit volume, specific humidity

(g/m 3 ) demonstrating the mass of vapor per

( kg/kg ' ) which is the mass of vapor per unit

mass of dry air, or relative humidity(%Rh) which is presented as a proportion of


actual vapor pressure against saturated vapor pressure of the air under a
certain temperature. Each unit of them can be convertible one another, by dew
point temperature or wet bulb temperature. The applicable principles for
humidity measurement cover the followings : swelling nature such as hair or
cellulose, the difference between dry air temperature and dumid air temperature,
electric resistance or capacitance change of dihumidity such as semiconductor
and porosity ceramic, dew point temperature, and infrared absorption.

2) Types
Swelling Type
It is a method which utilizes a swelling nature in humidity of organic materials.
That is, it has a feature that expansion and contraction by moisture absorption
or moistureproofing becomes different. Regarding dihumidity materials, porous
substances such as hair, cotton fiber, and high molecular film are widely used
and it's commonly called a hair hygrometer in many cases. This type are
frequently used for environmental control devices by home humidity indicator or
mechanical contact point, whose measuring range is 20 to 100% Rh, error not
exceeding 5%, and category temperature range is approx. 0 to 60.

Dry-and-Wet Bulb Thermometer Type


Dry bulb temperature measures a surrounding air temperature in a normal way,
while wet bulb temperature is a dropped water film temperature created by heat
of vaporization, when a thin cloth is rolled up around a thermometer and kept in
water. At this moment, transferring heat from air to water film causes an action

181

ED-6830

to raise temperature. Temperature gets steady at the point where heat loss by
evaporation and heat gaining by electric heat reach the same. When we suppose
that dry bulb temperature is t a, wet bulb temperature as t w, and saturated
vapor pressure at t

e= e

w -0.0664(

as

t a- t

e w, the vapor pressure in the air is calculated to be


w ).

Saturated vapor pressure at t

takes a steady

value, and if we use the e drawn from the above formula, relative humidity is
calculated. As such, dry-and-wet bulb thermometer type hygrometer calculates
humidity using a difference in dry-and-wet bulb temperature.

Ceramic Type
Ceramic humidity sensor draws out a conducting wire, after thinly plating a
metal oxide such as oxidation aluminium( AL 2O 3) on the sinter porous ceramic
structure, by means of a precious metal electrode. At the time, vapor is
absorbed into porosity oxide layer through metallic layer, humidity is measured
by the phenomenon that electric resistance or electric capacity changes
according to the number of absorbed water molecule. Ceramic sensor is
small-sized and light-weighted, wide in measuring range, available with successive
measurement, and excellent in corrosion resistance. As a weak point, it presents
low precision resulted from the modified features involving pollution by
impurities and time passage.

High Molecule Type


Designed to get absorption of high molecule substance to cause an electric
feature, this sensor also brings a change, in case resistance type is concerned.
Ammonium series is mainly used for resistance type, but cellulose series
polymer is primarily utilized for electric capacity type. Followings are what the
features of this type of sensor are all about : strong against pollution, mass
production at low price, high in temperature modulus, high temperature over 6
0 and low humidity environment not exceeding 30%, limited in use under high
humidity environment over 90%Rh, and hysteresis of approx. 2%. Capacitive
sensor exploits the principle that permitivity substantially increases around both
sides of cellulose film with approx. 20 thick. This method presents a special
point that the temperature from -35 to 80 is applicable and straight

182

characteristics appears from 10 to 95%Rh which covers wide range. Also, it is


strong against pollution and excellent in durability, resulting in a wide variety of
use as detection elements of miniature humidity measuring apparatus.

Electrolysis Type
Electrolysis type humidity sensor shows its structure as follows : winds up an
inert electrode with 2 strands on capillary, made of quartz or fluorine
hydrocarbon, and then thinly applies electrolyte material such as phosphorus
pentoxide ( P

O 5 ). Electrolyte dihumidity material absorbs the water in the

air with the exposure of the sensor, and water electrolysis occurs by authorized
voltage. At this phase, electron is necessary to decompose each water
molecule, so the current going through a cell is in proportions to the number of
decomposed water molecules. Therefore, when you measures an electrolysis
current under steady temperature, you can discover the density of vapor
included in the air. Now that electrolysis type hygrometer can measure an
extremely-low humidity, it has been frequently used for dry air measurement.

Thermal Conductivity Type


Constituting a bridge circuit by exploiting one dry-air sealed thermistor, one
air-contact thermistor, and 2 fixed resistors, the sensor has a very fast
response velocity in less than 15 seconds, with almost no hysteresis, and allows
the entire range measurement from less than 60 to 100%Rh to be possible.
However, as it has no selection tendency for gas types, it is impossible to
measure when other gas but standard air and vapor are mixed, so attentive care
is required involving an impact of pressure.

Infrared Absorption Type


Applying the fact that vapor absorption spectrum exists throughout the
wavelength such as 1.38, 1.87, 2.7, 4.3, 6.0, it exploits the phenomenon that
the amount of vapor included in the air increases a radiant energy absorptance
on a proportional basis. The measuring process of infrared hygrometer is :
arranges the same wavelength infrared absorbed smoothly into vapor, and then
makes one side go through the standard gas with humidity, and let the other
side pass the sample air for measurement, and finally executes measurement

183

ED-6830

using relative intensity of the infrared that passed the routes. This type of
sensor is excellent in sensitivity or response velocity, but high in price.

4-3-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) pH Sensor
The measurement of hydrogen ion concentration is applied to the following
fields : chemical plant process line, food process line, neutralization facility at
waste water treatment site , water culture, filtration plant and fishery, coating
treatment facility, and other water quality-concerned fields. The hydrogen ion
density in solution is indicated as a hydrogen index. Hydrogen ion gram in
solution 1 means warm water and is displayed as a sign pH. What is generally
taken is common logarithms of reciprocal in gram electro-analyzed water of
hydrogen ion existing in solution 1. Regarding plain water, the standard point is
formed at about 10-7 gram ion of hydrogen ion(H+) density under the air
pressure 1 & 25, and based on this, it is called that pH=log 1/[H+]=7
corresponds to neutrality, pH below 7 to acidity, and pH over 7 to alkalinity.
Fresh water pH for fish is 6.7 to 8.6 and pH plays a significant role in
implementing a chemical treatment like neutralization or cohesion in case of
waste water treatment. The 2 types are used for pH measurement : potential
drop method and color-comparative method. Hydrogen ion, an atomic nucleus of
hydrogen, gets a hydrogen atom to lose 1 orbital electron and become 1 positive
ion, equivalent to proton. It is also marked as H+. Hydrogen ion doesn't exist in
stability on an independent basis, so when materials with easily-ionizable
hydrogen atom are diluted into water, oxonium ion(H3O+(H+H2O) which is
added to water and formed is mainly considered, instead. This contains a
significant meaning in acid and is described by hydrogen ion density. Besides,
hydrogen atom sometimes forms the ion which accepts 1 electron, and it is,
what is called, hydrogenation ion as it is anion, H-, distinguished from hydrogen
ion. Hydrogen ion density measurement used for today's industrial analysis is
based on glass-electrode-based measuring principle that, when 2 different
types of solution are put on both ends of thin films of glass, electromotive force
in proportions to pH difference in both solution is generated on both ends of thin
films of glass.

1) Hall Sensor
Hall element has a simple structure with 4 lead tracks attached to
semiconductor side. Principle of the element operation is Hall Effect for which
voltage occurs in protons of current and magnetic field at a right angle, when
current goes through semiconductor and magnetic field is applied at a right
angle with current, among which input terminal is displayed as current terminal,
while output terminal as hall voltage terminal. Semiconductor materials for hall
element put Ge, Si, InAs, InSb, and GaAs to practical use. In particular, hall

5-2-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Hall IC
Si hall element allows about 10 ~ 2OmV/KOe for magnetic field sensitivity, but
has lower sensitivity than the one with other materials. To improve this weak
point, Si Hall IC came out with the point that it is integrated with IC
technology-based signal processing circuit. Currently many products involving
temperature sensor, pressure sensor, and optical sensor have been IC, among
which Si Hall IC is the first sensor that has been IC.
Hall IC features are as follows :
Shows high sensitivity covering whole sensor, due to the integration with
electron circuit.
Use of IC manufacturing technology, leading to easy production.
Obtains an eligible signal voltage.
Unbalance voltage is high and difficult in its processing.

Hall IC has 2 types : one is linear type sensor whose output is in proportions to
the magnetic field intensity, and the other is switch type sensor which allows
On/Off by magnetic sensor more than critical value. Switch type intentionally
assigns a hysteresis phenomenon to clarify switch motions. Hall element
exploits Bipolar and MOS technology as its manufacturing technology, but the
commercialized sensor is Bipolar type. Hall IC has been widely used for
magnetic interrupt, Hall motor, solid state distributor, fluxmeter, wattmeter,
electrometer, displacement system, revolution indicator, switch, and keyboard
switch. Figure 5-8 and Figure 5-9 show the actual scene and structure of Hall
IC with a Bipolar type.

6-1-1. Relevant Knowledge

1) Ultrasound Sensor
Ultrasound sensor possesses high frequency sound wave that is not audible to a
human and generally means oscillation frequency over 20kHz. Features of
ultrasound indicate that it as a wave energy such as light or electric wave,
shows a slow electric wave and is easily likely to be reflective. The natural
world has surprisingly many animals that produce ultrasound beyond human's
audible area, with bats or dolphins as a leading example for ultrasound
utilization. For example, nocturnal bats generate ultrasound in the dark by
themselves, to recognize objects by detecting the reflected sound wave.
Ultrasound sensor is for the detection of relatively-high frequency band among
sound energy, with a possible definition as a detection element of sound energy
over 20kHz, and its applications include existence and nonexistence for objects
in short distance, distance measurement, and speed measurement. Ultrasound
means an inaudible sound wave with oscillation more than 20,000 times per
second. That is, it is very high frequency and people with normal auditory sense
cannot feel in any way. This ultrasound is either applied as information to
several application fields, or sometimes uses oscillation energy as power.
Recently, ultrasound has been very usefully used even for telecommunication
and various ultrasound sensors have been contributing itself to the production of
hi-tech home appliances. Practically, it is a fundamental rule to decide the
frequency applied to ultrasound sensor as per its use, but the frequency range
of ultrasound sensor used for detecting objects in the air generally varies from
9kHz to 50kHz which can easily generate a powerful ultrasound pulse, and also
directivity pattern can be easily acquired.
Ultrasound sensor utilizes echo effect of sound wave, whose basic principle
says that it has a transmitting part generating sound wave, which analyzes time
difference in the return of sound wave, to sense object existence or measure

217

ED-6830

the distance of target objects. Ultrasound sensor consists largely of transducer,


analyzer, and output circuit. Distance measurement principle of ultrasound
sensor is to measure a delay time for ultrasound pulse launched from the sensor
to return to its original position, through the reflection on the surface of target
object, along with the compensation for sound velocity by ultrasound temperature
in the air, through which distance is calculated. The propagation velocity of
sound wave is 340m/sec in the air, but 1480m/sec under water. Ultrasound is
sensitive to temperature and should consider medium temperature. In general,
sound velocity in the air can be obtained as follows:

331.5 + 0.607T

T is centigrade temperature and the formula above shows that sound velocity
moves 0.17% each time, when the air temperature turns 1. So, you should
measure temperature to compensate for sound velocity. Following is a relation
for measuring distance to target object.

6-2. Microphone
6-2-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Microphone
Each sound measurement needs a sound sensor that converts sound energy into
electric energy, which is generally called microphone. Electric sound converter
has several ways for its converting principles and one of the followings is being
applied to the microphone : coin type, electrostatic type, piezoelectric type, and
contact resistance type(carbon type). In general, below is requirements for
sound measurement microphone.
Almost flat in frequency response, and wide in applicable frequency range.
Stable against the change of external conditions such as temperature, humidity,
and air pressure, and against a mechanical impact, as well as low in inclination
variation.
High in sensitivity and small-sized.
Wide in measurable range(dynamic range) of sound pressure.

Judging from the point that these conditions can easily be satisfied relatively,
microphones in current use for sound measurement are mostly electrostatic
type with direct bias, and partly utilize a piezoelectric type using ceramic
elements at time of measuring ultrasound or ultrasound pressure. What has
recently come out is a long lasting electret film, and the electrostatic
microphone of electret type also started to be used for sound measurement. It is
expected that electrostatic microphone would be staying as a mainstream in
sound measurement, but the microphone of new materials (piezoelectric high
molecule film) or new method(light application) would be put to practical use.

Electrostatic Microphone
Direct Current Bias Style : electrostatic microphone forms a broadside
condenser with a mobile electrode(oscillation film) of an oscillation displacement
by sound pressure, and a fixed electrode encountered with an extremely-small
gap. Also, when the oscillation film becomes a displacement by sound pressure,
its electric capacity varies slightly. Applying the direct current bias voltage

226

between both electrodes is the most common method to detect this change in
electric capacity through an electric signal (direct bias style). Now that the
output voltage of electrostatic microphone is in proportions to oscillation
displacement, oscillometer should be designed to allow a uniform-sized drive
force to generate a steady oscillation displacement, regardless of frequency.
There are some conditions for measurement microphones covering stability,
high sensitivity for the most important thing, and wide range of frequency.

Piezoelectric Microphone
When an object gets a transformation from outside force, electric charge in
proportions to the transformation is produced to generate voltage, which is so
called Piezoelectric Effect. It is now found in some crystal magnetism or high
molecule films, and used for a variety of use. Elements by magnetism like zircon
lead carbonate has been in use(ceramic microphone). Ceramic element is
structured with, so called, a bimorph and is designed to generate electric charge
against bending stress. Since ceramic element shows a high mechanical
impedance, it has a structure in which outside force is imposed on elements
through formed diaphragm and load, to be in conformity with low impedance air.

1) Thermistor
Thermistor is a resistor with a changed resistance by temperature and is
divided into PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor and NTC(Negative
Temperature Coefficient) thermistor. The former features that resistance increases
by temperature rise according to the quality of resistance, while the latter
shows a resistance decrease by temperature rise based on the opposite feature.

[Figure 7-1] Temperature Feature of NTC

Regarding features of thermistor, it has a wide range of change in resistance


involving temperature change, featuring a high degree of freedom for shape or
resistance, solid and low in price, easy electric processing of output. It, on the
other hand, has a small scope of measuring temperature(-100 ~ 500) and an
occasional failure to the linearity of feature curve. Bead type thermistor is
covered with glass and can be used for high temperature with its excellence in
reliability and stability, along with a good confidentiality for element, but
generally high in price concerning production.

235

ED-6830

[Figure 7-2] Bead Type Thermistor

Chip type thermistor is a small-sized product secondary to the bead type,


featuring eligibility for mass production and low price. It is usually eligible
for temperature measurement up to 150, but piezoelectric type allows the
measurement ranging 200 to 300. But, it shows slightly less stability than
bead type. For the reason, it has been widely used more for home or
industry, than high-precision measurement.

[Figure 7-3] Chip Type Thermistor

Disk type thermistor has been widely used for air conditioner or cooler,
because it is low in price and possible for mass production, as well as for
rush current control at time of switching regulator power input. Regarding
its weak point, it is difficult to miniaturize and hard confidentiality due to
its simple exterior, resulting in its eligible use for a temperature measurement
with low response velocity. Precautions indicate that it allows no confidentiality
and should only detect a dry air without any contact with water or vapor.

7-2. Thermocouple
7-2-1. Relevant Knowledge

1) Thermocouple
Electric current runs through a conducting wire, when 2 different types of metal
conducting wires are pasted with difference temperature on both ends. This is
called thermocurrent and the potentiometer for this occasion is called
thermoelectromotive

force.

Besides,

the

unit

regarding

this

is

called

Thermocouple. thermoelectromotive force presents a respective value for 2


types of metal. As for a pair of same metal, the greater the temperature gap of
both

ends

becomes,

the

greater

thermoelectromotive

force

becomes.

Thermocouple has been widely used with the following features ; wide in
operation range, precision on a comparative basis, small-sized, short in reaction
time, and possible with electric unit control using the electric current in
generation. Thermocouple can be used as a thermometer measuring a
temperature gas on both ends, and auto engine temperature measuring device is
based on the thermocouple. Weak points, however, exist as follows ; little
electromotive force in generation causing a difficulty in measurement, and when
temperature itself needs to be measured instead of the measurement of
temperature difference, either side should be maintained with a standard
temperature. The metal used for thermocouple gets its access to high
temperature and should meet the following conditions.
Superior in thermal resistance.
Stable in materials and free from oxidation and structure modification.
Great in thermoelectromotive force.
Reasonable in price.

Thermocouple consisted of platinum and 90% platinum & 10% rhodium has now
been adopted as an international standard thermometer, ranging from 903.89K
to 1337.58K.

7-3. Pt Resistance Temperature Detector(Pt100)


7-3-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Pt Resistance Temperature Detector(Pt100)
In general, metal electric resistance varies by temperature, and platinum
compared to other metal allows a linear change in temperature coefficient, light
in weight, superiority in its physical and chemical quality, resulting in high purity
output, to have been used for a long-term temperature measuring sensor with
stability. Regarding Pt resistance temperature detector(Pt 100, 500, 1000),
metal electric resistance generally increases or decreases by changes in
temperature with a certain relevance between them. The meter measuring
temperature with the resistance is a resistance thermometer, while what uses a
resistance change in platinum wire is a platinum resistance thermometer.
Measurement ohmmeter retains platinum, bronze, and nickel for its type, among
which platinum wire sensitive to the change in temperature to show an increase
and decrease in electric resistance, has been widely used with its applicable
temperature range at -200 to 600. Pt resistance temperature detector has a
platinum winding around glass tube and another one winding around mica,
consisted of an insulation tube preventing short circuit between resistance
element and internal conducting wire, protection tube for inner part, and a
terminal tube. Resistance temperature detector presents the output for
resistance vs. temperature, and only needs 1mA for its operation, for it is a
passive instrument. Resistance temperature detector in most use is a 100ohm,
constant 0.00385ohms/ohm/, platinum sensor.

2) Features
Resistance temperature detector used for an industrial application has special
points as follows, compared to other temperature sensor.
Excellent in sensitivity.
Superior in stability and reproducibility.
High-resolution available.

252

3) Structure and Measuring Method


Structure
Resistance element is called a metal conducting wire which follows the
phenomenon that temperature changes electric resistance, with platinum used
as a measurement sensor in general. This is so called RTD element (Resistance
Temperature Detector Element), and RTD is generally composed of RTD
element, lead wires, protection tube, and terminal.

Measuring Method
2-Wires Connection (W type)
Presents cost-saving effect by connecting each conducting wire to RTD
element and 2 terminal, but not eligible for any demand for high accuracy due
to the impact of conducting wire resistance.
3-Wires Connection (X type)
Connects 2 conducting wires to the Terminal at one end of RTD elements, and
only one conducting wire to the other end, to reduce the impact from
conducting wire resistance, showing high credibility to be most-widely applied.
4-Wires Connection (Y type)
Eliminates the impact of conducting resistance by connecting 2 conducting
wires each to both ends of RTD element, eligible especially for any demand on
temperature measurement of high accuracy.

3) Precautions
To have higher-precision temperature measurement, it is most important to
select

an

appropriate

resistance

temperature

detector

for

temperature

measuring site. So, before you decide a resistance temperature detector, you
should first consider cautiously the structure of internal resistance against
neighboring environments such as heat, corrosion, and mechanical impact, along
with installation method, RTD element, and protection tube.

7-4. Pyroelectric Sensor


7-4-1. Relevant Knowledge
1) Pyroelectric (human body detection) Sensor
Pyroelectric temperature sensor measures infrared rays and detects the
temperature of objects thermally, based on the change in pyroelectric material
surface charge which is generated, when the infrared rays emitted from objects
get into pyroelectric materials through a window. Pyroelectric material has an
inner spontaneous polarization and generates positive and negative charge on
the surface, maintaining an electric neutrality by capturing a floating charge in
the air. When infrared lays are incident to pyroelectric material, its temperature
rises to change the size of spontaneous polarization. At this point, surface
charge finds no way to respond to the change of temperature as fast as the
spontaneous polarization, so the surface of pyroelectric material suffers lack of
charge as much as the change of spontaneous polarization, and can measure
electric charge for a short period of time, though. Therefore, here is a
pyroelectric temperature sensor which can design electrode and measure
electric current, to generate the pyroelectric current or voltage that is used for
temperature measurement. This sensor allows no way to detect output, if the
temperature of pyroelectric material is stably maintained to detect a transitional
change in temperature. In order to have a continuous output, what is necessary
is chopper which impose a temperature change on pyroelectric materials
through a discontinuous incidence of infrared rays. In fact, to help with the
absorption of infrared rays, surface should be painted black to create an
absorber, which can be used in harmonization with field effect and transistor. In
general, pyroelectric temperature sensor should have the following features :
quick in response velocity, large in pyroelectric coefficient as selection standard
for sensor material, small in thermal capacity and temperature change, big in
element electric capacity, and small in loss of induced electricity. As such,
leading materials for pyroelectric temperature sensor in current use are
ferroelectric ceramics such as TGS, PZT, and PT. Pyroelectric sensor can only
detect the temperature of mobile, temperature-variable objects.
