What is Industrial Wireless Communications
What is Wireless Communications in Industrial Enviornments Wireless Communications is the use of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves or infrared, Satellite, to transmit information over air. Data could be transmitted a few meters or up to many klometers. Why should you consider going Wireless as an industrial Engineer Wireless Thecnologies offer a number of benifits in Industrial Enviornments, cost savings, flexibility, mobility Cost Savings Wireless Networks can be easier to install and cheeper than their wired equivalents. Removes the need to purchase and install meters and meters of cable, the installation time in a wireless network is typically shorter than a traditionally wired network. Flexibility In industrial Enviornments, PLC's can be connected to a PC Or SCADA system to achieve connectivity. Its ideal for gaining temporary connectivity to plant and machines for programming and diagnostic functions. Coverage Wireless Technology allows you to communicate wherever you are, you can send and receive information any time without being limeted by physical wires. Different Wireless Technologies There are diferent wireless technologies available depending on the specific application requirement. Some applications require High Bandwidth, Low Power, Extensive Range. There are sevearl wireless technologies that are currently used in different Industrial Applications, incluging WLAN, CDMA, GSM/GPRS Wireless Technologies Used
These technologies can be put into three categories: Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) are small, short range peer-to-peer or ad hoc networks that typically extend to a maximum of 10 meters. Because of there limeted range, WPAN's are used mainly as cable replacement solutions for data synchronisation and connectivity between devices that are close to each other. Bluetooth is th most common technology used in WPANs. A Wireless local area network (WLAN) is a LAN without cables. In contrast to PANs WANs provied a more robust wireless network connectivity for clients up to 100 meters away from the access point. WLANs are based on IEEE 802.11 standards and are referred to as Wi-Fi networks. The 802.11b standard, which operates in the 2.4GHz frequency band at 11Mbps was the first commercially successful WLAN technology. As wireless technology matured, a higher transmission rate of 54Mbpswas achieved with 802.11g, which operates in the 2.4Ghz band, and 802.11a operates in the 5Ghz frequency band.
