Abstract

The high cost of existing industrial control systems prevents their implementation at small or medium size industrial plants. This paper describes a new architecture, based on low-power wireless sensor networks for remote monitoring and control of industrial equipment in small size plants. Through the use of very low consumption wireless devices, proposed architecture provides a low cost distributed control system easily deployable in small facilities.
