Concept of read data method according to IEEE 1451.0 standard using CC430F5137 microcontroller

Sensor devices are characterized by many constraints due to the nature of their use in many different environments. One of the main challenges in the development of autonomous sensing devices is the optimization of energy consumption. Therefore it is desirable to use low power microcontrollers for developing devices if it is possible also to satisfy other requirements. In addition, new trends in today technology require some intelligence of measuring devices in order to make the transducer more independent from human factors and to establish access to devices and their communication in much easier way. For this purpose standard IEEE 1451.0 was introduced, that defines common rules for smart transducers, regardless of the used equipment. This paper presents an example of data transmission in case of system based on low-power microcontroller CC430F5137 according to the smart transducer concept.
