The Proposal of IEEE 1451.4 for Piezoelectric Actuator of 1 degree of Freedom

It is important to define a standard method to store basic sensor information, such as the type and the structure for an piezoelectric actuator and there is no such method defined in the IEEE 1451.4 transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS) so far. The major challenge is to choose a suitable standard template that can be used with actuators for piezoelectric devices. In this paper, we propose a new template TEDS and the structure of interface for IEEE 1451.4 for piezoelectric actuators.
