Abstract
The US DOE Industrial Technologies Program office, under the Sensors and Automation cross-cutting sub-program, facilitated the creation of a vision, for industrial wireless technology at a multi-disciplinary workshop in San Francisco in December 2002. Identified at that workshop were key areas where the DOE could, through cost-shared and supporting R&D, accelerate the deployment of wireless technology into the industries identified as the most energy intensive. The National Research Council had previously identified wireless sensors and wireless sensor networks as a technology with the potential for improving energy efficiency by 10% and reducing emissions by 15% in these heavy industries. The electronics hardware which continued to improve along Moore's law curves has enabled the industrial wireless sensing. This paper shows how different standards, procedures and protocols implemented towards wireless for industrial automation, related co-existence and interoperability issues. It further discusses ISA SP100 - "Wireless for Industrial Automation".
