Full Description

Scope

This project develops a set of common functionality for the family of IEEE 1451 smart transducer interface standards. This functionality is independent of the physical communications media. It includes the basic functions required to control and manage smart transducers, common communications protocols, and media-independent TEDS formats. It defines a set of implementation-independent APIs. This project doesnot specify signal conditioning and conversion, physical media, or how the TEDS data are used inapplications.

Purpose

There are currently three approved and three proposed smart transducer interface standards in theIEEE 1451 family of standards. They all share certain characteristics, but no common set of functions, communications protocols, and TEDS formats provides interoperability among these standards. This standard will provide that commonality and will simplify the creation of future standards for different physical layers that are interoperable within the family.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Active.It defines the functions that are to be performed by a transducer interface module (TIM) and the common characteristics for all devices that implement the TIM. It specifies the formats for Transducer Electronic Data Sheets (TEDS). It defines a set of commands to facilitate the setup and control of the TIM as well as reading and writing the data used by the system. Application programming interfaces (APIs) are defined to facilitate communications with the TIM and with applications.
