Traditionally, the 4–20mA analog signal used in industry to interface sensors in distributed
process control has been replaced with relatively simple digital networks, called “field …

This paper deals with the feasibility of a compact and low-cost web-enabled sensor. A
sensor can be interfaced to Ethernet using a low-cost microcontroller and few resources, as …

Distributed architectures for industrial applications are a new opportunity to realize cost-
effective, flexible, scalable and reliable systems. Direct interfacing of sensors and actuators …

This paper presents an overview on the industrial communication networks and protocols
developed to monitor and control industrial processes. The most common protocols …

A major inhibiting factor to the development of networked digital (smart) sensors is the lack
of a single sensor network/bus standard. Over fifty networks are in common use and no …

This paper is a review of the fascinating development of sensors and the communication of
sensor data. A brief historical introduction is given, followed by a discussion on architectures …

The Internet of Things (IoT) is seen as a set of vertical application domains that share a
limited number of common basic functionalities. In this view, consumer-centric solutions …
