company news about What are the Benefits of Analog Signal Integration in Real-Time Resistivity and Salinity Monitoring?

While digital protocols are popular, single-channel analog conductivity sensors remain a staple in industrial automation due to their "zero-latency" performance and ease of troubleshooting. An analog sensor provides a continuous linear signal (often 4-20mA) to the controller, which is then translated into conductivity, resistivity, salinity, and TDS. This real-time data stream is essential for high-speed process control, such as detecting a leak in a heat exchanger or monitoring the output of a high-speed desalination unit. Because the signal is analog, it is less susceptible to the software "hangs" that can occasionally affect complex digital networks.

The flexibility of the hardware allows for precise matching with the application's physical demands. For instance, in a high-pressure chemical line, a Titanium or Stainless Steel sensor rated for 0 to 17 bar ensures that the analog signal remains stable under mechanical stress. Meanwhile, the controller’s ability to switch display modes allows a technician to view TDS for environmental reporting or resistivity for ultra-pure water validation without changing the hardware. By combining a robust material choice—like ABS or PSS for chemical resistance—with a reliable analog output, facilities can build a monitoring system that is both cost-effective and highly responsive to changes in water chemistry.
