This book presents an application-level design method for a wireless sensor/actuator network (WSAN). The resulting WSAN system is used in the developing of a WDCS (Wireless Distributed Control System). The implementation of this wireless system involves the building of a WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) for sensing (data acquisition) and CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol fieldbus system for plant actuation. The embedded software of the CAN controller nodes is written in C language while the wireless sensor nodes of the WSN are programmed with software models written in nesC (network...
