In the field of Industrial Automation, instrumentation is a sub-discipline that encompasses transmitters, final elements and other field devices interfacing directly with the process and which are monitored and/or controlled by the automation systems(DCS/PLCs or SCADA).
Transmitters and sensors are instruments used to measure process variables such as pressure, temperature, flow, and level.
Final elements, like valves, are used to interact directly with the process to manipulate it based on automated or manual commands.
Instrumentation skillsets in industrial automation include specifying, designing, and commissioning field instruments. Engineers working in these roles require knowledge and skills to correctly size and specify field instruments in line with design inputs from process, electrical and other disciplines.
