What if one digital sensor could measure multiple signals?Yokogawa

18、s DPharp（差壓傳送器）digital technology has the unique ability to measure two pressure parameters （參數(shù)），delivering reliable and accurate measurement of plant operations. The unique aspect of this digital technology is that it measures two parameters in one sensor module, providing additional insight into a

19、 plants operations. It is the only sensor in the world that does this.DPharp transmitters（發(fā)射器）use silicon（硅）resonant（諧振的）sensor technology to measure both differential（差別） and still pressure. The sensor consists of two H-shaped crystal silicon resonators that shake at a certain frequency and，, when

20、pressure is applied, the frequency of one resonator increases while the other decreases. By monitoring these frequencies digitally, both differential and still pressure can be measured at the same time. The frequency output is directly read by the central processing unit of the transmitter.DPharp ca

DPharps unique digital sensing technology allows engineering firms and plant engineers to create designs that will equate to an average reduction of 40 percent. Where they would typically use five measuring devices,

22、 they are using three by using the multi-sensing technology. That is a significant cost reduction in the number of devices installed and the added benefit is that, as there are less devices, the engineering and design is less complex, which means less materials and less equipment to maintain.
