Abstract
Digital twins (DTs) are virtual replicas of physical assets, systems, and processes that enable real-time monitoring, simulation, and analysis to improve decision-making, optimize operations, increase efficiency, and achieve cost savings across various Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This paper introduces an IEEE 1451-based smart transducer digital twin framework (DTF) for IoT real-time monitoring and control applications. The framework consists of an IEEE 1451-based smart transducer physical twin (PT), its corresponding digital twin (DT), and a bidirectional information exchange between them for real-time monitoring and control. In this paper, the IEEE 1451.0 and P1451.1.6-based smart transducer DT is developed using the Node-RED platform and message queue telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol. The PT is developed using embedded devices, and a sensor and actuator development kit. The PT and DT communicate using 1451.0 and P1451.1.6 messages to exchange temperature sensor data for controlling the temperature of a smart home in real-time. The monitoring and control results of the smart home are provided in the paper to test and validate that the physical twin and digital twin work correctly.
