The IEEE 1451.4 Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) established common templates and descriptive language for plug and play sensors. Analog sensors with the self-identification have a paper-less method of managing sensor and calibration information. Meggitt Sensing Systems Endevco model 7290D series is one of latest to incorporate the capability.
The 7290D series employs a variable capacitance element with gas damping and internal over-range stops, allowing the sensor to survive significant shock and acceleration loads of up to 10,000 g, with 2.5% total dynamic accuracy. Units feature excellent non-linearity, including hysteresis, of typically 0.2% for ranges of 2 g to 50 g. Offered in five different models with available measurement ranges from 2 g to 100 g, the TEDS capability allows the 7290D series to be used within larger channel count instrumentation applications.
