Process Variables Measurement Trainer

Description:

PVMT001 is a bench-mount trainer that is used to teach students how to acquire and measure different physical phenomena. The sensors used include: Electromagnetic and Paddle Wheel for Flow; Piezoresistive for Pressure; Capacitance for Level; Thermocouple, RTD and Thermistor for Temperature; and Humidity Sensor for Humidity (option).
Developed for use with a wide variety of NI’s data acquisition and control platforms – easy-to-use, highly expandable programmable automation controllers, intelligent communication interfaces, and rugged I/O modules.
These industrial I/O modules filter, calibrate, and scale raw sensor signals to engineering units and perform self diagnostics to look for problems.
The curriculum covered includes understanding the characteristics of the different sensing devices and comparing between their different behaviors and characteristics.

Curriculum Coverage:

• Acquiring Physical Phenomena
• Flow Measurement
• Pressure Measurement
• Level Measurement
• Temperature Measurement
• Humidity Measurement (with option)
