Foreword: Science and technology are the first productive forces, and the instrumentation industry is no exception. Instrumentation and meter companies want to make great progress, improve their technological level, and research and develop high-tech products have become a common choice.

China's scientific research and high-end equipment is 100% dependent on imports. In 2010, the import and export deficit reached a record high. These indicate that China's high-end instrumentation products mainly rely on imports. China's demand for instrumentation is relatively large, and then the technical level of domestic instrumentation companies is still at a disparity with that of foreign countries. Therefore, some “opportunities” are lost. It is crucial to seize opportunities, seize the market, and improve technological level. Instrumentation and instrumentation industry High-tech has become the mainstream of development.

In the past two decades, microelectronics, computer technology, precision machinery technology, high sealing technology, special processing technology, integrated technology, thin film technology, network technology, nanotechnology, laser technology, superconductivity technology, and biotechnology have been acquired Rapid development. This background and situation have constantly put forward higher, newer and more requirements for instrumentation, such as faster speed, higher sensitivity, better stability, less sample volume, slight loss of detection and even losslessness, remote sensing Remote control distance, use more convenient, cheaper, no pollution, etc., but also for the development of instrumentation technology industry has provided a strong impetus, and has become a further development of instrumentation, material, knowledge and technology base.

In particular, we must point out that in the past ten years, due to the research results of precision machinery including nanotechnology, achievements in modern chemistry at the molecular level, biological research results at the gene level, new sensor technologies and intelligent technology research results, and high precision A large number of contemporary scientific and technological achievements, including the research achievements of ultra-performance special functional materials and global network technology promotion and application results, have come into being, resulting in a fundamental change in the field of instrumentation. These new achievements have not only become the soil, foundation, support and driving force for modern instruments and their industries to survive and develop, but they are also rapidly changing the working principles and essential characteristics of instruments and instruments, and they have possessed and possessed traditional instruments. Instrumentation simply cannot achieve and realize the numerous, new, super-high functions. It can be said that modern instrumentation products have become the most typical high-tech products. At present, it not only has completely broken through the traditional framework of light, machine and electricity, but also has developed rapidly in the direction of computerization, networking, intelligence, and multi-functionalization. Moreover, it has adopted a large number of research achievements in high-tech science and technology, interdisciplinary The comprehensive design, high-precision manufacturing technology and practical application of strict science have made it leapfrogging toward higher-speed, more sensitive, more reliable, and simpler access to the full range of information analyzed, detected, and controlled. .

With the advent of fieldbus, the process of process measurement and control instrumentation has undergone a major turning point and rare opportunities. At present, fieldbus has become a hot spot in global automation technology. Fieldbus is an all-digital, two-way, multi-station communication system used between on-site intelligent meters and control rooms. Its production is not only a result of the actual needs of the vast number of users and technological competition between manufacturers, but also a product of the combination of computer technology, communication technology and control technology in the field of industrial control. The emergence of fieldbus for the upgrading of instrumentation, product upgrades and to achieve further high-precision, high-performance? Especially multi-parameter online real-time monitoring and automatic monitoring and control? High stability, high reliability, high adaptability, multi-functionality, and low consumption provide tremendous power and room for development.

It can be seen from the above analysis that high-tech is not only the main feature of modern instrumentation, but also the only way to revitalize the instrumentation industry, and it is also the mainstream of instrumentation and its industry development in the new century.
