What is a module sensor?

April 17, 2025

Module sensor is a detection device that senses the information of the measured object and converts it into an electrical signal or other desired form of information output ‌‌ according to certain rules. Sensors are widely used in automation CONTROL, security equipment and OTHER fields, are the primary link to achieve automatic detection and automatic control.

 

The difference and connection between modules and sensors


1. Definition and Function:
Sensor: It is a relatively specialized measuring component that mainly converts changes in physical quantities (such as temperature, humidity, pressure, or angle) into electrical signals for output.
Module: A composite component composed of multiple components, with more diverse functions, capable of meeting various needs of electronic systems, such as control systems, communication systems, and sensor systems.


2‌. Application scenarios:
Sensors: widely used in various measurement and control systems, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, light sensors, etc.
Module: Typically used in more complex electronic systems, such as input/output modules, communication modules, etc. in control systems.
