Abstract(s)
This paper summarises the most important solutions
that have emerged from the work carried out by our team
within the framework of the EU (IST-1999-11316) project
RFieldbus - High Performance Wireless Fieldbus in Industrial
Multimedia-Related Environment. Within this project, Profibus
was chosen as the fieldbus platform. Essentially, extensions to
the current Profibus standard are being developed in order to
provide Profibus with wireless, mobility and industrialmultimedia
capabilities. In fact, providing these extensions
means fulfilling strong requirements, namely to encompass the
communication between wired (currently available) and
wireless/mobile devices and to support real-time control traffic
and multimedia traffic in the same network.
