Monitoring and maintaining process variables at the appropriate levels is extremely critical in

industrial automation and process control. A sensor in the industrial environment is either

continuously or periodically measuring vital parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow,

etc. The primary challenge of sensing in industrial environments is conditioning low signal

levels in the presence of high noise and high surge voltage.

This warrants for extremely low noise, low drift, precision programmable gain amplifiers

and instrumentation amplifiers with an appropriate common-mode voltage. The rate of change

of the measured signal is usually not very rapid and hence high-resolution precision delta-

sigma converters are widely used in industrial sensors. Low power consumption is another key

requirement for industrial sensors as many of them are powered off the traditional 4–20 mA

loop. Digital connectivity features such as PROFIBUS, IO-Link, and wireless connectivity are

increasing in popularity as they provide continuous monitoring, fault diagnostics and reduce

start up times, greatly improving productivity and efficiency of the automation loop.

Texas Instruments (TI) has a broad portfolio of products catering to industrial sensing,

ranging from best-in-class precision amplifiers and data converters to interface products,

power products and high-performance microprocessors. TI’s cutting-edge semiconductor

manufacturing processes provide industrial designers with products that meet the highest

standards and that are optimized for industrial environments and extended product life cycles.

Temperature sensors are used to measure temp-

erature and have a wide range of uses in industrial

and commercial applications. Temperature

measurements are commonly made by using a

resistance temperature detector (RTD), thermistor or

thermocouple.

RTDs have wire winding or thin-film serpentine

elements that exhibit changes in resistance with

changes in temperature. Thermistors, typically

made of ceramic or polymer material, also exhibit

significant changes in resistance with changes

in temperature. Thermocouples consist of two

dissimilar metal wires welded together to form

two junctions. Temperature differences between

the junctions cause a thermoelectric potential (i.e.,

a voltage) between the two wires. Holding the

reference junction at a known temperature and

measuring this voltage permits the temperature

of the sensing junction to be deduced. A constant

and linear excitation source is a critical aspect

of RTD/thermistor sensing, while cold junction

compensation is the key to a good temperature

measurement with thermocouples.

With its high integration, excellent resolution and

accuracy, the ADS1248 offers a single-chip solution

to all of these types of temperature measurements.

The ADS1118 is a lower-cost solution whichhas the basic core needed for any temperature

measurement and an extremely accurate on-chip

temperature sensor that is perfect for accurate cold

 junction compensation.

The LMP90100 family consists of highly

integrated, multi-channel, low power Sensor AFEs.

 A true continuous background calibration feature

allows calibration at all gains and output data rates

without interrupting the signal path. The background

calibration feature essentially eliminates gain and

offset errors across temperature and time, providing

measurement accuracy without sacrificing speed

and power consumption. Continuous backgroundsensor diagnostics, allow the detection of open and

short circuit conditions and out-of-range signals,

without requiring user intervention, resulting in

enhanced system reliability.

Pressure sensors convert a physical value –weight, tire pressure, level, force or flow – into a

differential signal in the range of millivolts per volt

and use metal thick-film, ceramic thin-film, or

piezoresistive technologies, to name a few. The

majority of designers use the cost-effective

piezosensors that can sense 25 mbar to 25 bar.

However, these sensors are very nonlinear and

temperature-dependent and have a large offset

and large offset drift. They also require attention

to electronic calibration and compensation.

Features and Benefits 

• Bridge excitation and sensor signal

conditioning

• Sensor error compensation: span, offset

and temperature drifts

• Sensor linearization circuitry

• Digital calibration via one- or two-wire

serial interface

• Low, time-stable total adjusted error

Electronic weigh scales, which are found in many

industrial applications, use a load cell as the

primary transducer. Load-cell designs can bedistinguished according to the type of output

signal they generate – pneumatic, hydraulic or

electric. Strain-gauge load cells convert the load

acting on them into electrical signals in the range

of millivolts per volt. A major challenge in

designing weigh scales is that they must sample

multiple load cells while producing extremely low

input referred noise.

 Another important factor is the analog circuitry’s

long-term stability with regard to offset drift and

gain. Here the accuracy of the amplified input

signal, either single-ended or differential, must

be guaranteed over years of operation. Hence

the signal chain has to handle the small signals

accurately in the presence of noise in additionto conditioning for offset, drift, temperature

dependency and other factors.

TI’s ADS1232 is designed as a highly integrated

delta-sigma ADC for low-level, high-precision

measurements, especially for weigh-scale

applications. The device consists of a low-drift,

low-noise instrumentation amplifier (selectablegain) and a high-order, chopper-stabilized

modulator followed by a digital filter in a

monolithic device. This is a single-chip solution

that can be directly interfaced as a front end to a

load-cell bridge output.

Features and Benefits • Complete front-end solution for weigh

The electromagnetic flowmeter consists of a

nonferromagnetic tube wrapped with a magnetic

coil. Electrodes in the tube’s inner isolated surface

are in contact with a conductive liquid that flows

through the tube. The coils around the pipe

generate a magnetic field within the tube. The

magnetic field inducts a voltage in the liquid that

is proportional to the speed of the liquid in the

tube. This voltage is measured via the electrodes.

Because the measured voltage is very low, precise

low-noise signal conditioning is required.

Coriolis flowmeter is a popular flowmeterthat directly measures mass flow rate. Applying a

strong magnetic field to a pipe through which fluid

is flowing makes the pipe oscillate at a particular

resonant frequency. When the fluid starts flowing

through the pipe, it is subject to Coriol is force.

The oscillatory motion of the pipe superimposes

on the linear motion of the fluid, exerting twisting

forces on the pipe. This twisting is due to Coriolis

acceleration acting in opposite directions on either

side of the pipe and to the fluid’s resistance to

the vertical motion. Sensor electrodes placed on

both the inlet and outlet sides pick up the phase

difference caused by this motion. This phase shift

due to the twisting forces is a direct measurement

of mass flow rate.

Low-noise instrumentation amplifiers followedby precision ADCs is typical of the signal-chain

path. Precision DACs or PWM drivers are used to

excite the field coils. Multiple-channel ADCs with

simultaneous sampling architectures make it

possible to take multiple measurements such as

temperature, phase, density, etc. at the same time

TI’s ADS1274, which is a 24-bit, 4-channel,

simultaneous-sampling delta-sigma converter

with up to 144 kSPS, is the perfect front end for

flowmeters requiring multiple measurements

(Coriolis). The ADS1259 is a high-linearity, low-drift, 24-bit, delta-sigma converter commonly used

in electromagnetic flowmeters.

Features and Benefits 

• Multiple channels and simultaneous

sampling for measuring multiple process

variables at the same time

• Excellent AC and DC performance

• Selectable operating modes: High speed,

high resolution, low power

Power Management

Industrial field transmitters could be powered in

one of three ways: loop, line or battery.

Texas Instruments (TI) offers a complete line of

high-performance power management products

designed for industrial applications. The devices

shown are well-suited for powering sensors that

may require low noise and high efficiency in both

line- and loop-powered (4–20 mA) topologies. Many

TI DC/DC converters feature current-mode control

with fast dynamic response and a pulse skipping

eco-mode with low quiescent current which

saves energy at light loads. Battery-powered

transmitters can be designed using TI’s low-power

Buck and Buck-Boost converters.

Processor and Connectivity

The MSP430™ MCU, with its integrated analog

peripherals, is the perfect platform for designers

looking to implement calibration routines,

compensation algorithms, etc. The computing

power and rich peripherals set accented by ultra-

low power consumption, makes the MSP430

MCU the universal choice for sensor design.

For flowmeter applications which require more

signal processing than offered by a standard MCU,

the C5000™ platform of DSPs is the optimal

solution. The C5000 DSP has an FFT accelerator

core that enables computing FFTs in a matter

of seconds while drawing very little current. The

ultra-low-power architecture of the C5000 DSP

offers superior signal-processing power while still

being able to be powered off the 4–20-mA loop.

Traditional analog (4–20 mA) interface remains

the popular choice for industrial control and

sensor applications. The other popular protocols

include HART, PROFIBUS and IO-Link . TI’s IO-Link

interface products have integrated regulators

and diagnostic outputs. In addition, wireless

options based on IEEE 802.15.4 protocols are

becoming more prevalent. TI is committed to

provide solutions for both traditional and emerging

industrial interfaces.
