Sensor identification gains worldwide
approval
Described as a milestone in technical standardisation and harmonisation, system for automatic identification of pressure sensors has been conditionally approved as a fully fledged standard
PiezoSmart is an active system for automatic identification of individual pressure sensors It is used for automated setting of the parameters of measuring chains (plug and measure)

The sensor is capable of operating at up to 400C and is ideal for thermodynamic investigations up to the knock limit of the engine.
Installed in PiezoSmart sensors is a transducer electronic data sheet (Teds), with sensor and calibration information as well as user data.
It offers functions that guarantee comprehensive quality assurance of data.
In spring 2004 the industry standard (IEEE 1451.4) on which PiezoSmart is based was codified in Rev 3.0, making IEEE 1451.4 conditionally approved by the IEEE that can be used as a fully fledged standard.
This is a milestone in technical standardisation and harmonisation, saya Kistler.
About 40 companies have either been involved in the creation of this standard or intend to implement it in their products.
It offers the user involved in routine measurement with sensors standardisation across the range of brands and products.
Kistler was one of the initiators of this standard and has made an important contribution over past years.
PiezoSmart from Kistler therefore represents a worldwide standard and demonstrates the viability of the innovative concept of automatic sensor identification, says the company.
