The use of industrial wireless networks based on standard ISA-100.11a and protocol WirelessHART in process control

Abstract

This article considers wireless technologies in the field of automation of technological processes and production in the energy, chemical, petrochemical and oil refining, gas, railway, mining, metallurgical and other industries where the use of wireless industrial devices is necessary due to specific features. Wireless technologies provide the ability to connect measuring devices directly to the wireless network with further transfer of information through a wireless gateway to an automated control system. This article will discuss the types of wireless networks that are classified according to the possible range of action (Wireless Wide area network, Wireless Local Area Network, Wireless Personal Area Network). The most common standards of organization of wireless industrial networks, including IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, IEEE 802.15.1, IEEE 802.15.4, IEEE 802.16 e, will also be considered, including in the field of management of chemicaltechnological processes and productions. Data transmission protocols ISA-100.11.a and WirelessHART and a number of their features will be analyzed. The basic standard network structures based on the ISA-100.11.a and WirelessHART protocols, their typical components, will be considered. The article provides an analytical comparison of the ISA100.11a and WirelessHART over the OSI network model layers, including the physical layer, the link layer, the network layer, the transport layer, the session layer, the presentation layer and the application layer (process control, management, security, application sublayer). The main stages of calculation of wireless industrial network are given, in particular: calculation of the network information load, calculation of the network's energy parameters, frequency-territorial planning, development of the communication scheme and interface with external networks. The formulas for calculating the network information load using Nazarov's methodology, calculating the network's energy parameters, taking into account the overall losses in the propagation of radio waves, including losses in free space, losses in partitions and walls inside the building, losses due to interference and signal fading are given. 2.

Multi-channel gas-diesel engine control system based on jet-convective sensors

“…Ion-label transducers belong to a large class of kinematic means, implementing in the input to the measured medium a natural local inhomogeneity of any medium parameter, excluding pressure losses on the interaction with measuring elements [22][23][24].…”

The 5G revolution transforming connectivity and powering innovations

“…At the heart of 5G's technological leap is the utilization of millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies. This spectrum, which lies in the 30 GHz to 300 GHz range, is a departure from the lower frequencies used by previous cellular network generations [13,14]. The higher frequency bands of mmWave enable unprecedented data transmission rates, facilitating gigabit-per-second speeds that can support data-intensive applications like ultra-highdefinition video streaming, virtual reality, and augmented reality experiences.…”

The principles of building a parallel program for steganographic file protection

“…Multitasking and concurrent data processing within the framework of parallel programming allow optimal utilization of resources in multiprocessor and multicore systems, graphics processors, and clusters -groups of computers unified for collaborative operation. Parallel computations can offer substantial benefits regarding performance and data processing time, especially in domains necessitating intensive computational tasks, such as steganography [7,8]. A foundational principle for effective parallel programming is the capability for proper decomposition and task distribution.…”
