Smart Transducer Block Enables Plug & Play Transducers
نویسندگان
چکیده
− The paper presents a dedicated IEEE 1451.1 Transducer Block that enables plug & play transducers according to the recommendations of the IEEE 1451.4 standard. The Transducer Block is self-configurable based on the information stored in the Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS): basic TEDS and transducer type templates are used for transducer self-identification; and calibration templates are used for transducer self-calibration. The Transducer Block is also network-enabled by exposing its functionalities through a set of Web Services.

Several people have attempted to label the time in which we are now living as the “information age,” or the “communications age,” or even the “MTV/Wired age.” All of these “ages” share the common characteristics that they involve smart products, shared information, and communications. The label “smart” has been applied to products ranging from bombs to toasters, and has therefore lost some of i...

The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 1451 smart transducer interface standards provide the common interface and enabling technology for the connectivity of transducers to microprocessors, control and field networks, and data acquisition and instrumentation systems. The standardized Transducer electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) specified by IEEE 1451.2 allows the self-descripti...
متن کاملConfiguration and management of a real-time smart transducer network
Smart transducer technology supports the composability, configurability, and maintainability of sensor/actuator networks. The configuration and management of such networks, when carried out manually, is an expensive and error-prone task. Therefore, many existing fieldbus systems provide means of “plug-and-play” that assist the user in these tasks. In this paper we describe configuration and man...

Distributed control in a networked environment is an irreplaceable feature in systems with remote sensors and actuators. Although distributed control was not originally designed to be networked, usage of off-the-shelf networking technologies has become so prevalent that control systems are desired to have access mechanisms similar to computer networks. However, proprietary transducer interfaces...

Rapid developments of smart sensor technologies envisage a new era where information handling and knowledge sharing will play a crucial role. Traditional sensors were conceived as simple hardware transducers of physical quantities into measurable signals, eventually requiring an analogue/digital conversion to make data available for software applications. IEEE-1451 family of standards has added...
