Instrumentation industry has rapid development prospects

Introduction: With the development of science and technology, the instrumentation industry is also rapidly developing. In the future, the instrumentation industry will become digitalized, intelligent, and networked. This development is a great challenge for the instrumentation industry. , The following would like to introduce you.

Miniaturized MEMS is one of the key areas of development in developed countries in the late 1980s and is considered as a new technology widely used in the 21st century. The sensor and signal processing technology that is listed as one of the 22 major technologies of the United States “has a major impact on national security and prosperity” is mainly based on miniaturization technology. Micro-devices using MEMS technology are called on-chip instrumentation. MEMS products include automotive accelerometers, pressure, chemical, flow transmitters, and micro-spectrometers. They are widely used in environmental science, aerospace, biomedical, and automotive industries. Military, industrial control and other fields.

Digitization and Intelligence Due to the advancement of microelectronics technology, instrumentation products are further integrated with microprocessors and PCs, and the digitization and intelligence of instrumentation have been continuously improved. Taking the concept of "DSPS" proposed by Texas Instruments as an example, the DSP chip is used as the core, and the entire application system is provided with advanced mixed-signal circuits, ASIC circuits, components, and development tools.

A large number of new devices such as super-large-scale integrated devices, surface mount technology, multi-layer circuit board printing, wafer-scale integration, and multi-chip modules are used in instrumentation. CAD, CAM, CAPP, CAT, and other computer aids are used. New technologies such as multimedia technology, human-computer interaction, fuzzy control, and artificial neural network have been widely used in modern instrumentation.

Networking Currently, the development of field buses and smart meters in the world presents a situation in which multiple buses and their instruments coexist. Buss such as HART, FF, Profibus, Lonworks, WorldFIP, CAN, etc. have been applied to a certain field and have been extended to other fields.

A variety of intelligent instruments have been introduced to the market one after another, and instrumentation is undergoing profound intellectual changes. The integrated test system is also becoming networked. Each instrument is connected via the GPIB bus and VXI bus.

Through the introduction of the three major development directions of instrumentation, industry professionals have a good understanding of this, focusing on the development of instrumentation and recommending the development of enterprises.

In recent years, society has paid great attention to such issues as “environmental pollution control” and “food safety and quality control”. Many of these links involve instruments for water quality analysis, which has brought more market opportunities to water quality analysis instrument manufacturers. It also gives higher requirements for the use of the instrument. In addition to the quality of the instrument, the service of the instrument is also increasingly valued. As a well-known brand in the water quality analysis instrument industry, Hach has the same goals and requirements for technical services.
