WG 3.1 General Sensor Technology

Focus

The "General Sensor Technology" working group addresses issues including the following topics in the context of its experience exchange, its concept developments, formulation of requirements to be met by automation solutions and its involvement in national and international standardisation:

  • Preparation of NE 145 "Description of Measurement Errors"
  • Reaction of field devices in case of power failure
  • Diagnosis of field devices

Advantages
