Open protocol for CBRN sensor connectivity prCWA

Scope

This document defines requirements for an open global system, that accepts any kind of detection subsystems. It will include sensor connection, data transmission, data management and compatibility requirements.
ISO/IEC/IECEE 21451-2:2010 applies to the connection and communication between smart transducer interfaces and a network capable of application processor, but it does not cover the communication via I²C. This CWA is specially developed for the communication via I²C.
This CWA lays the foundations:
- for the hardware-specific requirements for connecting CBRN sensors to a specially developed central communication unit, and
- for the digital communication flow between the sensors and this unit.
The intended users of this document are designers, manufacturers, integrators, and service providers from private and public companies.
