Instrumentation
The field of “instrumentation engineering” focuses on the theory and use of measuring instruments that are used in the design and configuration of automated systems. It also deals with the control and measurement of various variables such as flow, temperature, pressure, and others.
The subjects range from pneumatics and hydraulics to thermodynamics in mechanical, electrical drives and power electronics in electrical, microprocessors and microcontrollers in electronics, data structures in computer networks, and fundamentals of instrumentation such as robotics, soft computing, and sensors.
I-ON engineers work for industries with automated processes with the aim of enhancing the productivity, dependability, safety, optimization, and stability.
Integrating the sensors with the transmitters, controls, and systems is frequently the responsibility of instrumentation engineers. They are in charge of system calibration and maintenance, as well as design or specify installation, wiring, and signal conditioning.
