Temperature instruments use contact or noncontact methods to measure temperature.

Temperature indicators and temperature instruments are designed for temperature monitoring and analysis.

Temperature sensors are measurement devices that infer temperature by sensing some physical characteristic (i.

Temperature controllers accept inputs from temperature sensors or thermometers, and then output a control signal to keep the temperature at the desired level

Motor controllers receive supply voltages and provide signals to motor drives that are interfaced to motors.

Motion control systems contain matched components such as controllers, motor drives, motors, encoders, user interfaces and software.

Temperature signal conditioners accept outputs from temperature measurement devices such as resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, and thermistors.
