IPETRONIK supports the use of TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) sensors with a Lemo-2B-version of its multifunctional module Sx-STG, under the IEEE-1451.4 defined plug-and-play standard. It enables the flexible, faultless adjustment of the module on new sensor parameters. The Sx-STG detects, e.g., IEEE-1451.4 Class 2 sensors (multi-wire connections, e.g. as bridge sensors) automatically and reads the sensor-specific data via the TEDS connection; the user does not have to enter the scaling data manually. Channel-specific settings such as operation mode, filter, excitation voltage, sampling rate, etc. are performed with the data-acquisition software IPEmotion. TEDS is suitable for vehicle development and production as well as for on-site applications at the customer. Sx-STG is an eight-channel multi analog measuring module with sensor supply for various applications inside the vehicle cabin. The module supports three different signals according to measuring input: voltage, IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo Electric) or ICP (Integrated Circuit Piezoelectric), as well as strain gauge sensors. Eight analog inputs cover measuring ranges with voltages of 0.01 to 50 V. Each input has its own configurable sensor supply of 15 V with up to 45 mA. The measuring data output occurs via Ethernet or the CAN bus. It operates in a temperature range of -40 to +85 C (-40 to +185 F). Sx-STG operates within a supply voltage range from 9 to 36 VDC.
