1. Rate and Latency |
• Publication rates 1-2 seconds
• Capable of 100 ms latency
• Controlled latency, ~50% publication rate
• 4 Hz publication in constrained configurations |
2. Flexible System Architecture |
• Engineered and scalable IP backbone
• High redundancy: duocast communication and redundant hardware
• Network layout flexibility: multiple access points, field routers, and
meshing/non-meshing devices |
3. Mesh Networking |
• Mesh and non-mesh network topography
• Interoperable peer-to-peer connections
• Function blocks at the device level
• Battery life is deterministic.
• Meshing access points and field devices |
4. Reliability |
• Wireless transmission is deterministic.
• Wireless transmission is received.
• Wireless transmission is accurate.
• Dual communication paths up to process control network |
5. Security |
• Wireless transmission has not been hacked. |
