AN214 - Smart Transducer Interface

AN214 The PICmicro® MCU as an IEEE 1451.2 Compatible Smart Transducer Interface Module (STIM) Authors: Richard L. Fischer Microchip Technology Inc. Jeff Burch Agilent Technologies The IEEE 1451.2 standard provides the means to connect sensors and actuators to a digital system, typically a network, via a Network Capable Application Processor (NCAP). Figure 2 depicts a general distributed measurement and control application and Figure 3 depicts the functional boundaries relating to the transducer .

AN214 Features

* It is described by a machine-readable Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS).

* The control and data associated with the channel are digital.

* Triggering, status, and control are provided to support the proper functioning of the channel. A STIM contains the TEDS, logic t
