scope:
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 ™ TEDS. The standard does not specify the transducer design, signal conditioning, or the specific use of the TEDS.
Purpose
An independent and openly defined standard for MMI and TEDS serves the following purposes:
- Provide interoperability, which enables plug-and-play capability
- Simplify the implementation of mixed-mode smart transducer systems
- Accelerate the emergence and acceptance of the MMI and TEDS
