About TEDS Sensors
Note Only controllers that use Series 494 Hardware support the use of MTS
TEDS (transducer electronic data sheet) sensors.
TEDS sensors have built-in memory chips that store basic TEDS information
(manufacturer, model, number, and serial number).
When you connect an initialized TEDS device to a conditioner, the Station
Manager application reads the basic TEDS information from the device, and a
sensor assignment window appears.
The sensor file list in this window only lists sensor files that match the basic
TEDS information, conditioner type, and dimension. The sensor assignment
window contains the same sensor assignment list found in the Station Setup
window.
TEDS devices
Available TEDS devices include:
• MTS sensors that include basic TEDS information saved in an integral
TEDS chip that is built into the sensor.
• MTS TEDS Transducer ID modules that include a chip that stores basic
TEDS information for a specific sensor. The TEDS module connects to the
sensor.
