“…The FactoRIS project (“Learning Factories for Digital Transformation of SMEs”) intends to contribute to the digital transformation of SMEs by creating learning factories where new technological advances can be used to solve digitalization challenges [ 27 ]. One of the solutions developed in the FactoRIS project was a condition monitoring system to monitor a production line composed of FESTO stations (more information on the FESTO Modular Production System is available at (accessed on 31 July 2022)) [ 28 ].…”

“…Part of the actuating system of the FESTO stations is composed of pneumatic actuators, whose components degrade over time. To cope with this degradation, air flow and pressure analog sensors were installed in the pneumatic system to monitor and detect any air leak or other abnormal behaviors (as suggested in Figure 2a) from article [ 28 ]).…”

In a cyberphysical production system, the connectivity between the physical entities of a production system with the digital component that controls and monitors that system takes fundamental importance. This connectivity has been increasing from the transducers’ side, through gathering new functionalities and operating increasingly independently, taking the role of smart transducers, and from the applications’ side, by being developed in a distributed and decentralized paradigm. This work presents a plug-and-play solution capable of integrating smart transducers compliant with the IEEE 1451 standard in industrial applications based on the IEC 61499 standard. For this, we implemented the NCAP module of the smart transducer defined in IEEE 1451, which, when integrated with 4diac IDE and DINASORE (development and execution tools compliant with IEC 61499), enabled a solution that presented automatically the smart sensors and actuators in the IDE application and embedded their functionalities (access to data and processing functions) in the runtime environment. In this way, a complete plug-and-play solution was presented from the connection of the transducer to the network until its integration into the application.

The use of Sensors and Actuators is ubiquitous in an industrial environment. The advent of the Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) and the 4th industrial revolution demands new, more intelligent and more efficient ways to be able to connect, read and control transducers at the plant floor level. Newer control and data science techniques also largely benefit from structured information endpoints available at the edge of the network. The IEEE 1451 standard presents architecture and methodology to solve these problems with the usage of smart transducers, introducing into edge devices concepts such as self-identification and standardization of data communication. In this work, a transducer interface module is developed using the IEEE 1451 standard focused on flexibility, ease of integration and plug-and-play features. Furthermore, a system architecture, based on IEEE 1451.0 is presented, and development and implementation features are explained. This system is then released as an open-source platform to help and motivate the usage of smart transducer systems. At last, the system is tested, results are collected, and a methodology and metrics are defined for comparison between different smart transducer systems.
