Design and Simulate the Communication of Instrument and Control Systems using WirelessHART
Main Article Content
Abstract
The WirelessHART protocol is one of the most promising standards for wireless communication in industrial automation plant systems. Control processes as well as the communication between plants in the systems need to be scheduled appropriately such that the input and output data is correlated. This paper presents a design and simulation of the communication of instrument and control system using wirelessHART. In addition, the paper presents design methods, options for instrument and control systems. Moreover, in this study, we also develop network simulation program to evaluate the communication of instrument and control systems. A number of improvements have been made and then compared with previous works in terms of energy consumption, ensuring the stability of communication.
