AN APPLICATION OF THE IEEE 1451.2 CORRECTION ENGINE IN AN INTEGRATED SENSING STRUCTURE

Helena Ramos, O. Postolache, M. Pereira, P. Girão
Abstract:
This paper reports the implementation of a sensing and alarm integrated system connected through the Transducer Independent Interface (TII) to a Network Capable Application Processor (NCAP), emulated in a PC. The “Correction Engine” and the calibration features of the NCAP are used to process the data acquired via the transducer and also to add auto range capabilities to the conditioning circuits of the input quantities. The NCAP is also used to establish the interface with the Internet. A working prototype is developed for water quality monitoring with pH and temperature sensors and with an alarm to detect values outside a pre-defined range.
