It's prime time for wireless industrial automation.

On this page I want to talk to you about three topics, all related to wireless industrial automation. These days industrial wireless communication is an hot topic. The themes I have selected for you are the following:

* Wireless Sensing Solutions:

After having become used to wireless communication in everyday life, we now see this technology appearing in the industries. With the help of wireless nodes and wireless gateways it has become possible to set-up wireless sensing solutions where ever they are needed. This new wireless industrial controls technology makes it for example possible to connect inductive sensors without the use of cables. As if they were wireless proximity switches.

On the other hand there are a lot of wireless industrial devices available. These industrial modules can help you to build a suitable solution for almost every wireless application. The reason to choose for a wireless solution can be that:

* Its less expensive than a conventional solution;

* The installation is quicker and easier;

* This solution gives more security;

* The maintenance is rather uncomplicated.

You might wonder how a deterministic fieldbus can be turned into a wireless automation solution. All you need to know for now is that it is possible. It can actually be done by adding master and slave modules, availing transparent fieldbus communication. Examples are wireless Canbus and wireless Profibus.
