This book introduces the fundamentals of DCS, and shows how to
include wireless technology in their design while guaranteeing the
desired operation characteristics. The text also presents insights
and results gained from extensive practical experience in
implementing and testing systems within a specific industrial
setting. Features: examines the operations that the DCS implements,
covering human-machine interfaces, diagnostics and maintenance
interfaces, and controllers; discusses industrial control system
and wireless network protocols; reviews scheduling in wireless
sensor networks; describes a latency model for heterogeneous DCS
with wired and wireless parts, that predicts monitoring, command,
and closed loop latencies; explains how to plan operation timings
systematically; introduces measures and metrics for performance
monitoring and debugging, and describes how to add these to a
system; presents experimental results to validate the planning
approach, based on an application test-bed.
This book presents an examination of the middleware that can be
used to configure and operate heterogeneous node platforms and
sensor networks. The middleware requirements for a range of
application scenarios are compared and analysed. The text then
defines middleware architecture that has been integrated in an
approach demonstrated live in a refinery. Features: presents a
thorough introduction to the major concepts behind wireless sensor
networks (WSNs); reviews the various application scenarios and
existing middleware solutions for WSNs; discusses the middleware
mechanisms necessary for heterogeneous WSNs; provides a detailed
examination of platform-agnostic middleware architecture, including
important implementation details; investigates the programming
paradigms for WSNs, and for heterogeneous sensor networks in
general; describes the results of extensive experimentation and
testing, demonstrating that the generic architecture is viable for
implementation on multiple platforms.
