It was the intent of this effort to collect, categorize, and compare the sensing hardware available to industry and applicable to the Department of the Army's 'Plant Modernization and Expansion Program,' in order to present to design and management personnel an organized methodology by which to accomplish the hardware selection process. The purpose of this display panel is to demonstrate a representative sample of sensors available on the market today and show their advantages and disadvantages. A display panel was fabricated which meets the following specifications: (1) Unit is self-contained; (2) The compatability of electronic and pneumatic technology is demonstrated; and (3) The control panel sensors are evenly divided between electronic and pneumatic devices with the ability to add auxiliary sensors from external sources as may be required.
