Abstract

Industrial wireless is crucial for the vision of increased intelligence in industrial automation and enhanced connectivity in various industrial scenarios. Although general requirements are usually defined for deploying industrial wireless networks in various application classes, the process for individual deployments in specific industrial use cases cannot be directly deduced. It still requires the exact knowledge of the different industrial process data points and their parameters in order to specify the corresponding wireless technology and the deployed network specifics. In this work, we introduce an entity relationship diagram (ERD) for the mapping between individual wireless use cases, their operational environments, the various wireless technology limits, and the deployed wireless technology specifications including the network configuration, the deployed wireless nodes parameters, and the corresponding radio frequency (RF) setup. This ERD represents the initial step to understand the mapping between various industrial use cases and realistic deployed wireless networks, and build a corresponding database that can be helpful in facilitating the procedure for specifying new deployments of industrial wireless networks.
