Industrialization has led to a huge demand for a network control system to monitor and control multi-loop processes with high effectiveness. Due to these advancements, new industrial wireless sensor network (IWSN) standards such as ZigBee, WirelessHART, ISA 100.11a wireless, and Wireless network for Industrial Automation-Process Automation (WIA-PA) have begun to emerge based on their wired conventional structure with additional developments. This advancement improved flexibility, scalability, needed fewer cables, reduced the network installation and commissioning time, increased productivity, and reduced maintenance costs compared to wired networks. On the other hand, using IWSNs for process control comes with the critical challenge of handling stochastic network delays, packet drop, and external noises which are capable of degrading the controller performance. Thus, this paper presents a detailed study focusing only on the adoption of WirelessHART in simulations and real-time applications for industrial process monitoring and control with its crucial challenges and design requirements.
工业化导致了对网络控制系统的巨大需求，以有效地监控和控制多回路过程。由于这些进步，新的工业无线传感器网络（IWSN）标准，如 ZigBee、WirelessHART、ISA 100.11a 无线和工业自动化网络-过程自动化（WIA-PA）无线，已经开始出现，它们基于其有线传统结构，并进行了额外的开发。与有线网络相比，这种进步提高了灵活性、可扩展性，减少了所需电缆的数量，缩短了网络安装和调试时间，提高了生产力，并降低了维护成本。另一方面，使用 IWSN 进行过程控制带来了处理随机网络延迟、数据包丢失和外部噪声的关键挑战，这些挑战可能会降低控制器的性能。因此，本文仅重点研究了在工业过程监控和控制的仿真和实时应用中采用 WirelessHART 所面临的关键挑战和设计要求。
