Hybrid network of wired and wireless technology has become hot topic research as a result of increasing demands in applying wireless network for industrial application. Hybrid network introduces different delay characteristic, depending on what technology that compose the hybrid network. In this paper, we present a framework for building a hybrid network composed of CAN protocol and ISA100.11a industrial wireless network. Simulation result have demonstrated that bottleneck of the hybrid network lies on ISA100.11a network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
