Et af de centrale elementer af standarderne er definition af Transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS) for hver transducer. TEDS er en "hukommelsesenhed" forbundet til transduceren, som gemmer transducer identifikation, kalibrering, korrektionsdata og producent relateret information. Målet med IEEE 1451 standard familien er at tillade adgang til transducerdata via en fælles mængde af grænseflader, hvad enten transducerne er forbundet til systemer eller datanet via fastnet eller trådløst.
IEEE 1451 anbefales af NIST, IEEE og mange amerikanske federale agenturer.
Transducer electronic data sheet
Et Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) er en standarderet metode til at gemme transducer (sensorer eller aktuatorer) identifikation, kalibrering, korrektionsdata og producent relateret information.

↑The Importance of IEEE 1451 Citat: "...At the process connection level, 1451 provides standard ways of creating totally self-describing measurement and control devices. This allows you to choose best-in-class products from your preferred vendors — true plug&play. Imagine plugging on a new sensor and having it announce its availability ... with information like its serial number, calibration factors, and accuracy specifications. During installation location information can also be loaded so that you can turn on a totally self-describing system...With 1451, you are not only free to choose vendors and devices you want, but you are free to choose the network that is most appropriate for your application..."
