Intrusive Signallers and Non-Intrusive Signallers refer to different types of devices or systems used in communication or signaling, often in industrial, telecommunications, or safety contexts. Here’s a breakdown of each :
Intrusive Signallers
Definition: Intrusive signallers require physical integration or direct connection with the systems they monitor or control.
Characteristics:
- Physical Installation: They may involve sensors or devices that need to be embedded or attached to equipment.
- Data Acquisition: Often provide real-time data from the system they are connected to.
- Examples:
- Wired alarms or sensors that monitor machinery.
- Pressure gauges that are directly attached to systems to measure parameters.
Non-Intrusive Signallers
Definition: Non-intrusive signallers operate without physical alteration or direct connection to the systems they monitor.
Applications
- Industrial: Used in manufacturing plants for equipment monitoring and safety signaling.
- Telecommunications: Signaling systems that alert operators about issues or performance without needing to alter the network.
- Safety: Fire alarms, smoke detectors, and other systems that signal danger without being invasive.
