Datasheet Summary
The PICmicro® MCU as an IEEE 1451.2 patible 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 interface standard, namely IEEE 1451.2. In simplest terms, the IEEE-1451.2 standard does the following:
- Defines a digital interface for connecting transducers to microprocessors.
- Describes a...
