IEEE 1451 Smart Transducer Standards: Overview, Core TEDS and Common Standard Set

摘要

Smart transducers are a technology that will enable advances in data acquisition by providing direct communication with sensors and actuators. This will allow self-identification and retrieval of information such as calibration data, status and overall functionality. Such direct communication will also enable configuration and control of sampling schemes, low-level data fusion and self tests. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1451 Smart Transducer family of standards is a nonproprietary set of standards that is aiding the transformation of the transducer industry. There are now seven parts of this family either approved, in work or in review. This paper provides an overview of the different family members and provides detail about the IEEE P1451.0, which is providing a common interface to the other family members.
