Smart Transducer Interface Standard for Sensors and Actuators
Published in Richard Zurawski, Industrial Communication Technology Handbook, 2017
The IEEE 1451 smart transducer interface standards are defined to allow a transducer manufacturer to build transducers of various performance capabilities that are interoperable within a networking system. The IEEE 1451 family of standards has provided the common interface and enabling technology for the connectivity of transducers to microprocessors, instrumentation systems, and field networks using wired and wireless means. The standardized TEDS allows the self-description of sensors, which turns out to be a very valuable tool for condition-based maintenance. The expanding Internet market has created a good opportunity for sensor and network manufacturers to exploit web-based and smart sensor technologies. As a result, users will greatly benefit from many innovations and new applications.

The IEEE 1451 family of standards includes seven documents that define the set of common communication interfaces for connecting smart transducers to microprocessor-based systems, instruments, and networks in a network-independent environment [1]. As Figure 3.4 reveals, the smart transducer for IEEE 1451 is divided into two components that are interconnected through the transducer-independent interface (TII): the actual NCAP and the transducer interface module (TIM), which contains sensors and actuators, signal conditioning, and data conversion. Although IEEE 1451 does not specify actual physical and media access control (MAC) layers for TII, it provides the interface for different standardized technologies through IEEE 1451.2 (wired point-to-point communication; e.g., SPI, UART, USB), IEEE 1451.3 (wired network; e.g., 1-wire), IEEE 1451.4 (mixed mode—i.e., interfacing transducers with analog output to NCAP), IEEE 1451.5 (wireless communication; e.g., ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, Bluetooth, WiFi), IEEE 1451.6 (CANopen), and IEEE 1451.7 (RFID) [1,14,16]. The discovery, access, and control mechanisms for the transducer supported by the IEEE 1451, both for TIMs connected to NCAPs and for smart transducers within the network, allows achievement of the highest level of network interoperability and implementation of global smart SNs (e.g., see Figure 3.5).
Configuration and Management of Networked Embedded Devices
Published in Richard Zurawski, Networked Embedded Systems, 2017
The TEDS was developed to establish a generic electronic datasheet format as part of the smart transducer related IEEE 1451 standards family. The IEEE 1451.2 [6] standard specifies the TEDS including the digital interface to access that datasheet and to read sensors or set actuators.

In fact, in factory automation applications, one of the key issues when using WSNs is their standardisation. The standardisation process is focused in two main directions: network protocol and sensor interface. First, IEEE 802.15 Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) defines standards for wireless networks including Bluetooth (802.15.1), UWB (802.15.3) and ZigBee (802.15.4). In particular, the IEEE 802.15.4 standard has been designed as an industry standard to focus on short-distance data range, low data rate, energy efficiency, and low cost. It uses the AES-128 algorithm that provides a robust, state-of-the-art message frame security (Islam, Shen, and Wang 2012). Second, IEEE 1451 is the family of standards for a networked smart transducer interface which provides the common interface and enabling technology for the connectivity of transducers to control devices, data acquisition systems and fieldbus.
