IEEE Draft Standard for a Smart Transducer Interface for Sensors and Actuators - Transducer to Microprocessor Communication Protocols and Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) Formats

IEEE P1451.2 defines a wired point-to-point interface standard for sensors, specifically connectors and communication protocols for SPI, I2C, UART and RS-232-C interfaces together with the corresponding TEDS. This specification focuses on the Communication Modules that connect the TIM and NCAP using the IEEE Std 1451.0-2007 basic standard with brevity as a goal. The purpose of this revision is to make IEEE-1451.2-1997 more usable to a wider set of applications.
