Abstract Information :
Alphasense is launching its next generation of electrochemical sensors: the Smart Sensors. The key characteristics and dimensions of our popular electrochemical sensors provide the foundation for this new technology, but the new Smart Sensor design features an innovative electronic ID tag implanted at the base of the sensor, which adds both onboard memory and a temperature sensor. Having onboard memory enables us to provide a set of data with the sensor, which will include (but is not limited to) the following: sensor type, bias, date of production, serial number, calibration data. Instruments can connect to the ID tag via a digital ic2 communication protocol. The digital interface brings new functionalities such as sensor identification authentication, traceability and autocalibration. The temperature sensor will give a precise, localised reading. The new Smart Sensors will soon be available in A-Series and B-Series sizes for both industrial and air quality applications. In his Sensor+Test lecture, Alphasense Technical Director, Ronan Baron, will introduce the Smart Sensors design concept and explain its key features and benefits to the audience.
