Original Abstract

Most of the control and measurement applications are using galvanic connection of sensors and actuators to central control system. This scheme is bringing some problems and limitations in cases, where it is not possible to use standard cable connection between control system (wiring station) and local smart/standard sensors and actuators. Galvanic interconnection is possible to accept in cases, when the configuration is permanent and it is possible to make cable interconnection between components. In another cases, when it is not possible to use cable connection between components (components are geographically isolated, temporarily installed or allocated on rotating elements etc.), it is appropriate to realize interconnection between components by wireless communication network. The conclusions enable to connect smart sensor and actuators by using RF wireless physical layer on ISM (Industrial Scientific Medicine) band. For small range network (perimeter up to 100m) industrial Bluetooth standard can be used, where full Bluetooth stack and basic necessary functions have been defined. This standard also accepts requirements to assure high safety and security by using encryptions and cryptography. Bluetooth stack and defined protocols are also compliant to Internet protocols.
