Abstract:
Research and development in the fields of MEMS sensors and intelligent
industrial instrumentation, performed at the Center of Microelectronic
Technologies (ICTM-CMT), have resulted in scientific and technological
advances beyond the state-of-the-art. In this paper we give an introduction to
MEMS sensors, as well as to the concept of intelligent industrial instrumentation.
The SP?12 silicon piezoresistive MEMS pressure sensor, the newest type
developed and manufactured at ICTM, is described in detail. Subsequently, a
new method is presented that enables simultaneous high-performance pressure
and temperature measurement to be performed using a single piezoresistive
MEMS pressure sensor. It is devised using the sensor’s mathematical
model, based on sensor characterization data. A newly developed intelligent
industrial transmitter was used as a hardware platform for experimental
validation of the measurement method. The obtained results indicate that
the measurement performance level of the existing industrial equipment can
be met or exceeded by using the described approach. Implications regarding
the practical use of the presented method are discussed. Finally, two intelligent
industrial instruments based on the SP?12 sensor and the described
method are presented: a pressure transmitter and a liquid level transmitter.
The performance and reliability of both products have been proven in harsh
industrial environments.
