Save Time and Effort with TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet)

Interface has offered sensors with various types of SELF-ID for many years. The SELF-ID feature eliminates the need to enter data via a keyboard or key panel from a paper calibration sheet into the instrument used with the load cell. This feature offers the following benefits:

Eliminates potential for data entry error
Cuts time in half to set up instrument
Makes swapping of load cells easy
Increases safety by making certain that system has the correct capacity of the load cell
Can be used to identify location of load cell
No need to store calibration sheets, no more paper, no more concern about lost sheets
Makes inventory control of your load cells easy
Load cells can be changed out without jeopardizing integrity of system

Now TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) provides additional advantages over proprietary SELF-ID because it is an industry standard (IEEE 1451.4) which has the potential to permit mix and matching of load cells and instruments from different manufacturers. IEEE1451.4 specifies a table of identifying parameters that are stored in the load cell in the form of a TEDS. TEDS is a table of parameters that identify the transducer and is held in the transducer on a EEprom for interrogation by external electronics.
