Abstract
A self-calibrating sensor includes a sensor element for electrically detecting change in physical amount of a workpiece. A signal output device detects changes of the sensor element to output an electric signal. A processor conducts calibration calculation for the electric signal to adjust to the physical amount of the workpiece. A memory stores calculation results of the processor. The processor includes a calibration value calculating circuit for calculating a calibration value by conducting the calibration calculation based on a predetermined transforming formula and a calibration completion determining circuit for determining whether calculation of the calibration value by the calibration value calculating circuit is completed or not. The presence of the calibration value calculating circuit and the calibration completion determining circuit eliminates the need for connecting to an outside computer through an exclusive line for calculating the calibration value. Accordingly, an exclusive I/O line for calibration work is omitted as compared to conventional self-calibrating sensors.
