what is the difference between AUTOMATION AND
INSTRUMENTATION?

Answer Posted / ipalibo ajumogobia tariah

INSTRUMENTATION deals with the use of sensors and other
devices in the measurement and transmission of pysical
parameters such as flow,pressure,level,temperature etc from
one point(field) to another(CCR,FAR)for monitoring,control
and safegaurding.The monitoring,control and safegaurding
applications involves the system aspect of instrumentation
while the the field devices and sensors for measurement is
more of electromechanical hardwares.
The integration of the instrumentation hardware and systems
(application) to automatically monitor,control and
safegaurd any manufacturing and production process is what
is called AUTOMATION.
