Abstract

Despite the fact that a number of research efforts in the area of Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs) exist, there is a lack of really practical IWSN implementations, deployments, and in-field applications. This paper presents the design and implementation of an IWSN for welder machine systems, called WirelessCAN which is based on WirelessHART to replace wired CAN fieldbus. Although the implementation and challenges are application-specific, we believe that the problems we encountered will be faced by many IWSN designers. In this paper, selected challenges exposed in our implementation and the potential solutions are introduced, which have not been addressed previously. Specifically, communication resource constraint, real-time rescheduling, integrated knowledge for IWSN applications, centralized control architecture, reliable and immediate message delivery for human and equipment safety, and differential QoS requirements are discussed in detail and in depth. The goal of this paper is to make the design and implementation of IWSNs more efficient and applicable.
