This paper examines the use of a wireless Fieldbus based on IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol. The superframe of IEEE 802.15.4 is applied to a transmission scheme of real-time mixed data. The transmission and bandwidth allocation scheme are proposed for real-time communication using a superframe. The proposed wireless Fieldbus protocol is able to transmit three types of data (periodic data, sporadic data, and non real-time messages), and guarantee realtime transmission simultaneously within a limited timeframe.

With the success of wireless technologies in consumer electronics, standard wireless technologies are envisioned for the deployment in industrial environments as well. Industrial applications involving mobile subsystems or just the desire to save cabling make wireless technologies attractive. Nevertheless, these applications often have stringent requirements on reliability and timing. In wired environments, timing and reliability are well catered for by fieldbus systems. When wireless links are included, reliability and timing requirements are significantly more difficult to meet, due to the adverse properties of the radio channels. In this paper, we thus discuss some key issues coming up in wireless fieldbus and wireless industrial communication systems.

This paper focuses on a method to connect mobile devices such as mobile robot, ACV and UTC with Profibus network. In this paper, the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is used for wireless extension of Frofibus, and four major issues are introduced to implement the wireless extended Profibus; First, the integration method between Profibus and IEEE 802.11 is introduced. Second, the implementation method of gateway is proposed. Three, the virtual polling mode algorithm is developed for satisfaction of real-time characteristics required in industrial network. Finally, we implement a experimental model, and carried out the performance analysis of wireless extended Profibus. This results show that wireless extended Profibus is suitable to industrial network such as automated container terminal.

FieldBus communication systems in industrial wired and wireless network may cause the degradation of the TCP performance due to the racket loss. TCP is particularly targeted at the wired networks, a packet loss is assumed to be caused by the network congestion. As a result, the performance of TCP decreases significantly when used over networks that exhibit a high bit error rate. In order to solve this problem, this paper designs and implements the WFSnoop mechanism which offers a fast local retransmission. The proposed mechanism does not require any changes in customer premises. Base on the simulation in the wired and wireless network environment, we analyzed the performance of the WFSnoop mechanism.

This paper focuses on a method to connect mobile devices such as mobile robot, Automated Guided Vehicle(AGV) to a fieldbus. In this paper, the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is used to extend a Profibus-DP network for the mobile devices. In order to integrate these two networks, a protocol converter is developed with two process(i.e., master process of Profibus-DP and virtual master process of IEEE 802.11) and an transmission buffer. Futhermore, a virtual polling algorithm is developed at the protocol conveter in order to satisfy real-time requirements on data communication.

This paper focuses on a method to connect mobile devices such as mobile robot. Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) and Unmanned Container Transporter(UCT) to a fieldbus. In this paper, the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is used to extend a Profibus network for the mobile devices. In order to integrate these two networks, a gateway is developed using two threads and an internal buffer. Furthermore, a polling algorithm is applied at the gateway in order to satisfy real-time requirements on data communication, Finally, the performance measures such as data latency and throughput are experimentally evaluated on a wirelessly-extended Profibus network. The results shows the feasibility of the wireless extension of Profilbus for various mobile device.

This paper presents the implementation of industrial wireless network for real-time control system and the performance evaluation on the implemented system. We propose the hybrid network architecture of wired EtherCAT and wireless 802.15.4e. For performance evaluation, we use the reference model of inverse pendulum system. Through the performance evaluation on our testbed system, it is verified that our proposed system can be applied to industrial real-time control system.
