This standard establishes a radio frequency (RF) reference environment model, test methodology, and evaluation process for the performance testing of industrial wireless networks. The standard is protocol agnostic as it applies to all wireless protocols intended for use in industrial and mission-critical industrial settings in which reliability concerns are essential to the functioning of the overlying operational systems, i.e., the industrial sensing and automation system. Industrial wireless systems are used for carrying vital sensor, actuator, command, and control information that is used for the operation of sensing, optimization, control, and safety app...

Industrial wireless systems are used for carrying sensor, actuator, and control information for operational usage. This standard establishes a functional model for radio frequency (RF) industrial wireless performance degradation factors (i.e., aggressors); a reference test architecture for the performance evaluation of industrial wireless systems; a transparent performance assessment process for test planning, evaluation, and reporting; and instructions for establishing profiles to tailor the process for specific industries, applications, and scenarios. The standard applies to all wireless networks for use in industrial settings in which reliability and late...

The purpose of this standard is to establish a functional model for radio frequency (RF) industrial wireless performance aggressors; to provide a reference test architecture for the performance evaluation of industrial wireless systems; to provide a transparent performance assessment process for test planning, evaluation, and reporting; and to provide procedures for establishing profiles to tailor the process for specific industries, applications, and scenarios. Use of this standard enhances performance of industrial wireless systems for various scenarios and advances the adoption of wireless technology as a reliable mode of communications for industrial and...
