IEEE 1451.2-Based Sensor System with Java-TEDS Software Tool

In this paper, the authors present the implementation of a microcontroller-based smart transducer interface module based on the IEEE 1451.2 standard and a Java-TEDS software tool development to generate the electronic data for each transducer channel implemented in the smart module. The module, with two transducer channels was implemented with a PIC16F876A microcontroller and programmed in C language. A software support resource has been developed in order to generate the data for the transducer electronic data sheet descriptive memory.
