Abstract

In the past, communication in industrial monitoring, automation, and control was mostly realized locally, often relying on wired solutions, restricting communication and control to single factory environments. To overcome this limitation, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) envisions the integration of these local communication structures into larger systems, such as the interconnection between factories and suppliers, or even the Internet. Moreover, to achieve flexibility with regard to automation processes and to save costs in deployment and maintenance, wireless solutions more and more find their way into factories. In this chapter, we present recent efforts and standardized solutions to realize wireless communication for local industrial automation and ultimately identify the requirements and mechanisms for connecting these setups to globally accessible communication infrastructures. To this end, we focus on special requirements unique to the IIoT, e.g., the use of highly constraint devices and the resulting effects on the use of standardized protocols.
