Testbed for Functional Safety-Relevant Wireless Communication Based on IO-Link Wireless and 5G
Year: 2022
Type: preprint
Abstract: In the field of industrial production automation, wireless networks support highly flexible manufacturing processes and enable technologies to set-up new production chains and future software businesses. The IO-Link Wireless (IOLW) protocol is an already established energy-efficient and cost-effective communication standard for smart sensor devices on the industrial shop floor, whereas the mobile communication standard 5G will be mainly applied for medium and long-range wireless communication applications promising low latency times and high reliability. Therefore, 5G with the coming enhancement of deterministic ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (uRLLC) is combined with the robustness and low-latency performance characteristics of IO-Link Wireless. Features of both technologies are highly beneficial to realize even highly demanding safety-related applications. The presented testbed shall qualify wireless functional safety communication with respect to its Residual Error Probability (REP) and quantify the Probability of Failure per Hour (PFH).
