Implementation of Heterogeneous Network for Industrial Applications
Krishna Kumar Yadav · 2014
In this paper, i am going to implement a heterogeneous network for industrial applications. In general, A wireless remote controller in which providing a wireless sensing solution for industries to operate essential industrial appliances, ranging from simple lightings to sophisticated electronic devices. A wireless protocol based on wireless token ring protocol (WTRP) has been modified, yielding wireless controller area network (WCAN) data centric communications, which is then proposed to be applied in managing concurrency control of industrial appliances. WCAN is an adaptation of its wired cousin, controller area network (CAN) protocol which has not being properly defined. The wireless controller communicates with the standalone server which in turn communicates with the rest of sensing nodes through CAN system. Each node will be receiving command from the Standalone server and based on the message identifier, either executing the command or discarding it. WCAN has been chosen to become the backbone network of the system as it offers an alternative solution when industrial mobile stations under certain constraints should continue to use CAN protocol as frame exchange protocol. This project is implemented in three sections. First node runs as data acquisition node to which sensors are connected and another one is responsible controlling machines and appliances.
