RDP Electronics has announced the launch of a new self-calibrating transducer and indicator system using its transducer electronic data sheet (Teds) system
Based on the IEEE 1451.4 standard, RDP's Teds enabled transducers connected to an RDP E725-DCt signal conditioning display unit now offers the possibility of 'on-site' set up without the need for physical calibration.
Previous research has shown that up to 23% of the cost of a measurement application can be attributed to the set up and calibration time.
According to RDP, on site calibration is a thing of the past - it's now as easy as connecting a mouse to a computer.
Plant control and automation systems or test facilities can save huge amounts of down time by availing themselves of this new technology.
Should a transducer fail, then a replacement Teds version can just be plugged in and you are up and running again in minutes.
Central to the system is an embedded memory chip holding technical data specific to its host transducer.
Information is held as a transducer electronic data sheet - Teds for short - defining the sensor type and specification details including sensitivity, that is read automatically and acted upon by the compatible instrumentation such as the RDP E725-DCt.
RDP has developed a range of Teds enabled transducers to measure or control displacement/position, load/force, pressure, torque and acceleration.
