Abstract

The recent improvement of wireless communication networks has made possible for using such networks at the lowest levels of factory automation systems , which typically imposes severe requirements in terms of real-time communication , reliability, and dependability . However, industrial plants represent a hostile environment due to the presence of different noise sources. The presence of these noises can easily inflict damages on the wireless information signals and creates erroneous interruptions on the data transmitted. Wireless Fieldbus can be one of solution where real time communication between controllers and sensor/actuators at the field level of factory automation. Wireless Fieldbus technologies have the potential capability and significant benefits in industrial application. In factory automation, the cost and time needed for the installation and maintenance of the large number of cables can be reduced by wireless technology. This is important in harsh environment where vibrations, high temperature, or moving parts exist that could potentially damage any sort of cabling. The objective of this chapter lies on the feasibility analysis on usage Wireless Fieldbus technologies and comparison of recent industrial wireless technology. For this, we investigate the fundamental problem of Wireless Fieldbus and details of each wireless technology at factory automation.
