Generally process control devices use analog signal. Normally in an industrial automation setup, 0-20 mA (mili amp) or 4-20 mA or 0- 10 Volts are used. These signals are used for both providing control output and to provide feed back signal (say to a PLC (programmable logic controller) or DCS)

Example for a control out put is a motorized damper operated by 4 - 20 mA signal. PLC provides 4-20 ma signal. Example of a feed back signal is 4 - 20 mA signal from temperature transmitter, measuring a liquid temperature to PLC as input.

How dows bluetooth work?

Bluetooth uses radio-frequency signals to communicate between devices. It uses these signals because the range that it uses requires a very modest amount of power. To avoid connecting with another Bluetooth device, the signal varies between 2.402 gigahertz and 2.48 gigahertz. The signal changes 1600 times every second and the devices that are communicating change the range in unison to prevent unwanted reception from other devices.

How can a microwave blocker be used to prevent unwanted signals from interfering with electronic devices?

A microwave blocker can be used to prevent unwanted signals from interfering with electronic devices by absorbing or reflecting the microwave signals, thereby reducing their impact on the electronic devices. This helps to maintain the proper functioning of the devices without disruption from external interference.

Which types of signals are carried over a DSL cable?

DSL is carried over a phone line. Yet it caries digital signals. the telephone company has to limit the bandwidth of the analog voice on the lines. So DSL is able to use the unused portion of the bandwidth to transmit digital data. hope that helps -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to Cisco : Network devices link together using a variety of connections: * Copper cabling - Uses electrical signals to transmit data between devices * Fiber-optic cabling - Uses glass or plastic wire, also called fiber, to carry information as light pulses * Wireless connection - Uses radio signals, infrared technology (laser), or satellite transmissions. so your answer would be electrical signals.
