IEEE 1451

<p>IEEE 1451 is a set of <a href="/facts/Smart_transducer/Me7pSJl4">smart transducer</a> interface standards developed by the <a href="/facts/Institute_of_Electrical_and_Electronics_Engineers/UddC4pUW">Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers</a> (IEEE) Instrumentation and Measurement Society's Sensor Technology Technical Committee describing a set of open, common, network-independent communication interfaces for connecting transducers (sensors or actuators) to microprocessors, instrumentation systems, and control/field networks.  One of the key elements of these standards is the definition of <a href="/facts/Transducer_electronic_data_sheet/CIQEVfGV">Transducer electronic data sheets</a> (TEDS) for each transducer. The TEDS is a memory device attached to the transducer, which stores transducer identification, calibration, correction data, and manufacturer-related information.  The goal of the IEEE 1451 family of standards is to allow the access of transducer data through a common set of interfaces whether the transducers are connected to systems or networks via a wired or wireless means.
