Design and implementation of industrial network monitoring protocol for networked industrial sensors

摘要

We propose a new industrial network monitoring protocol to monitor spatially distributed autonomous sensors. The proposed protocol is designed for a monitoring network using low-rate wireless personal area networks(LR-PANs), and has low resource overheads and low-cost for devices that retrieve sensor data, which operate on the SoC(System on Chip) with Microcontroller Unit(MCU), memory and 2.4GHz RF transceiver. The proposed protocol network is implemented in a monitoring network system that comprises a monitoring server and industrial monitoring devices such as a gateway and several acquisition devices. In this paper, we have established a realistic environment for the performance evaluation of the proposed protocol. Several sets of experiments are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed protocol.
