Wireless Networks for Industrial Automation, 3rd Edition--Aarkstore EnterpriseAs commercial and residential networks rapidly go the wireless route, will industrial networks soon follow? This digital edition includes the increasingly popular wireless application Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and also provides a clear, unbiased view of the emerging wireless communications market. Author Dick Caro explores wireless communications from the factory and process automation viewpoint to help you make clear decisions on the timing and strategy for implementing wireless networks for automation projects. According to Caro, going wireless is more than just plugging in some wireless components to replace the wires. Residential networks are easily justified using today’s inexpensive wireless components to avoid costly or unsightly wire installations. Industrial use is not quite so clear due to privacy and security problems and the potential for signal loss in plant environments. Industrial use must have secure communications that never fails. However, the cost of industrial wiring is so high, that wireless can usually be justified. This 3rd edition includes a general update of events that have occurred since the previous edition. Of significance is an overview of new technology, such as ISA100.11a, WirelessHART, and WiFi, including IEEE (News - Alert) 802.11n.
