06 - What is a transducer block?

This blocks interfaces the function block to the device hardware such as sensors, actuators and switches. This block is responsible for information and functionality specific to for example the measurement of a particular physical property, such as pressure or temperature, or a specific measurement technology, such as ultrasonic or Coriolis.

The transducer blocks interface to the function blocks over hardware channel, which is different from function block links. Transducer block handle not only measurement, but also actuation and display.
