Full Description

Scope

This project will establish a standard that allows analog transducers to communicate digital information with an IEEE 1451 object. The standard will define the protocol and interface. It will also define the format of the transducer TEDS. The transducer TEDS will be based on the IEEE 1451.2 TEDS. The standard will not specify the transducer design, signal conditioning, or the specific use of the TEDS.

Purpose

A standard is needed that allows analog transducers to communicate digital information for the purposes of self-identification and configuration. Due to the lack of a standard, some transducer manufacturers have introduced various solutions but have seen limited acceptance. An independent and openly defined standard will reduce risk for potential users, transducer and system manufacturers, and system integrators. This will accelerate the emergence and acceptance of this technology.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Active.This standard defines the protocol and interface that allows analog transducers to communicate digital information with an IEEE 1451 object. It also defines the format of the Transducer TEDS. The Transducer TEDS is based on the IEEE 1451.2(TM) TEDS. The standard does not specify the transducer design, signal conditioning, or the specific use of the TEDS.
