This connectivity has been increasing from the transducers\u2019 side, through gathering new functionalities and operating increasingly independently, taking the role of smart transducers, and from the applications\u2019 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.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22197694","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,11]],"date-time":"2022-10-11T00:50:01Z","timestamp":1665449401000},"page":"7694","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["A Plug-and-Play Solution for Smart Transducers in Industrial Applications Based on IEEE 1451 and IEC 61499 Standards"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0873-2882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diogo","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"FEUP\u2014Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"SYSTEC (DIGI2)\u2014Research Center for Systems and Technologies (Digital and Intelligent Industry Lab), 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4522-1002","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Pinheiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FEUP\u2014Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"SYSTEC (DIGI2)\u2014Research Center for Systems and Technologies (Digital and Intelligent Industry Lab), 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5025-1145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lu\u00eds","family":"Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FEUP\u2014Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"SYSTEC (DIGI2)\u2014Research Center for Systems and Technologies (Digital and Intelligent Industry Lab), 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7840-0333","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V\u00edtor H.","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FEUP\u2014Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"SYSTEC (DIGI2)\u2014Research Center for Systems and Technologies (Digital and Intelligent Industry Lab), 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7757-7308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gil","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FEUP\u2014Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"SYSTEC (DIGI2)\u2014Research Center for Systems and Technologies (Digital and Intelligent Industry Lab), 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"VDI\/VDE-Gesellschaft Mess- und Automatisierungstechnik (2013).
