Abstract :
In order to save time and reduce systems failures this paper examines use of wireless sensor for monitoring industrial applications for enhanced Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems where a new model establishes interconnection between sensor node is proposed and optimal inter-sensor distance with respect to their signal level are investigated. The wireless communication systems are used for exchanging messages between technicians and the corresponding emergency service points through structured messages. The test result obtained from a field trial with the result showing determining maximum allowable free space loss can be determined between the interval of 0-13 metres apart.
