“…At the receiver side, the payload is checked for error using a 1-byte preamble (called ErrorDect-Num in the code used to program the device) and 1-byte checksum computed and appended to the original 8-byte smart NOx data before transmission at the transmitter side. The checksum is the computed value mentioned in Equation ( 1) and the preamble is the value mentioned in Equation (2). At the receiver side, the preamble and checksum are verified and if they are the same as the values from the transmitter, the data is error-free.…”

“…The application in maritime vessels is quite a new area of research different from the common applications such as railway applications seen in streetcars, trams, undergrounds, light railways, long‐distance trains, and lifts and escalators which use embedded CAN networks. As far as we know, there is no other paper that investigates the application of wireless CAN in maritime technology for monitoring and control of engines using practically oriented research on ZigBee and CAN (except for our own ZigBee CAN‐related research work [2]). Therefore, we want to raise awareness and a discussion about the possibility of integrating ZigBee and CAN technologies for application in remote monitoring and control in marine technology.…”

“…The introduction of wireless networks in marine engines makes for a more efficient diagnostics activity and coordination of various separate subsystems' operations. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first to investigate the application of wireless CAN in maritime technology for monitoring and controlling marine engines using practically oriented research on ZigBee and CAN (except for our own ZigBee-CAN related research work [2]). Therefore, we want to raise awareness and discuss the possibility of integrating ZigBee and CAN technologies for application in the communication, monitoring, and control of marine vessels and technology.…”

This paper describes the design and implementation of a wireless control area network (CAN bus) protocol for communication between the smart NOx (nitrogen oxide) sensor on diesel engines and the engine control unit (ECU). In this research, the approach taken is based on a case study of Wärtsilä's smart NOx sensor on a W4L20 diesel engine with the objective of replacing the wired CAN protocol with a wireless CAN communication node. In the current setup, the smart NOx sensor is connected to the engine control unit (ECU) with a wired CAN bus connection. The XBee module, which uses the ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) technology was used in the design and implementation of the wireless CAN prototype. With the emergence of 5G networks and the era of IoT, the topic of wireless industrial automation becomes essential in the modern industry. In addition to the great advantages and opportunities that the use of wireless nodes has in automation systems, there are many real challenges. The practical design challenges have been addressed in this paper.

Air pollution and leakages of hazardous and toxic gases and chemicals are among the dangers that frequently occur at automated chemical and life science laboratories. This type of accident needs to be processed as soon as possible to avoid the harmful side effects that can happen when a human is exposed. Nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds are among the most prominent indoor air pollutants, which greatly affect the lifestyles in these places. In this study, a commercial MOX gas sensor, SGP41, was embedded in an IoT environmental sensor node for hazardous gas detection and alarm. The sensor can detect several parameters, including nitrogen oxide index (NOx-Index) and volatile organic compound index (VOC-Index). Several tests were conducted to detect the leakage of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in different concentrations and volumes, as well as from different leakage distances, to measure the effect of these factors on the response speed and recovery time of the sensors used. These factors were also compared between the different sensors built into the sensor node to give a comprehensive picture of the system used. The system testing results revealed that the SGP41 sensor is capable of implementing the design purposes for the target parameters, can detect a small NO2 gas leakage starting from 0.3% volume, and can detect all the tested VOC solvents ≥ 100 µL
