IEEE 1451.0 : 2024

Abstract : The common functions, network services, transducer services, and Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) formats for members of the IEEE 1451 family of StandardDetails to be interoperable in both network interface and transducer interface are provided. The common functions and characteristics that are to be performed by a network capable application processor (NCAP), which is a 1451 server, and all devices that implement the NCAP are defined. A set of network services that includes a set of commands and replies to access transducer data and TEDS data from the NCAP (1451 server) by the Internet of Things (IoT) applications (APPs) that are 1451 clients are also defined. Application programming interfaces (APIs) of network services are outlined to facilitate communications between the APPs (1451 clients) and NCAPs. Furthermore, the common functions and characteristics that are to be performed by a transducer interface module (TIM) and all devices that implement the TIM are discussed. A set of transducer services that includes a set of commands and replies to facilitate the setup and control of the TIM, as well as reading and writing the data used by the NCAP, are outlined. APIs of transducer services are also discussed to facilitate communications between the NCAPs and TIMs. Finally, the formats for a TEDS and methods to access the TEDS are specified, along with the common functions and characteristics that are to be performed by an APP and all devices that implement the APP.
