Soft sensor
Soft sensors
These are system variables, calculated from measurements obtained from hard sensors.
Examples - computed parameter
- The virtual volume of a container may be calculated the Kelvin temperature and the pressure by V = nRT/P. A significant change in the virtual volume may indicate leakage from the container.
- The system enters Safe-mode operation is case of a threat, based on calculations of the risks, with special indicators of the operators activity (see
human-machine control mode).
