Abstract :
The increase of the number of functions which are implemented at the level of sensors and actuators allows one to improve some characteristics of the global system such as productivity, availability, safety, etc. However, it also leads to increase the complexity of the design. This paper proposes a systematic description, based on a generic external model, of smart instruments
