Computer connected to SSI via RS-232
The SSI-TRES TEDS Reader Editor
software was developed to read and edit Plug and Play Smart
Sensors that are compliant to the IEEE 1451.4 Standard. TEDS, or
Transducer Electronic Data Sheet, is a set of electronic data in
a standardized format defined within the IEEE 1451.4 standard. This
data specifies what type of sensor is present, describes its interface,
and gives technical information such as sensitivity, bridge type,
excitation, etc. This information is stored in an EEPROM chip attached
to the sensor. By having this chip, the sensor can identify and
describe itself to the network and or Smart Load Cell Meter (SSI),
thereby easing automatic system configuration.
