  • MODULAR SENSOR INTEGRATION SYSTEM WITH SELECTABLE SENSOR MODULES
    Publication number: 20250076271
    Abstract: A diverse sensor integration system includes a system controller, at least one system sensor, and a plurality of selectable sensor modules. Each selectable sensor module is operably connected between the system controller and the system sensor. The selectable sensor modules receive an input signal with a set of first characteristics from the system sensor and convert it into an output signal with a set of second signal characteristics required by the system controller. The output signal is then transmitted to the system controller. This integration system allows for the seamless integration of different types of sensors into a single system, providing flexibility and adaptability to meet various system requirements.
