Abstract

Wireless sensor and actuator networks bring many benefits to industrial automation systems. However, unreliable wireless and multihop communications among sensors and actuators cause challenges in designing such systems. In this paper we focus on WirelessHART and propose a periodic and deterministic downlink transmission functionality which enables efficient usage of actuators and enabling control applications. Furthermore, we define new HART commands extending the interface, without affecting available services.
