Standardization of wireless coexistence in industrial automation

Wireless systems are being applied in not only consumer area but also industrial automation plants and factories. Industrial automation systems require high reliable and high available communication systems. And, several industrial wireless communication protocols have been developed and published as International Standards. Then industrial wireless communication systems compliant with such standards are provided and applied in many industrial automation plants and factories all over the world. Coexistence in industrial automation application is considered in IEC/SC65C/WG17, and IEC 62657 series have been developed and it is explained in this paper. Considerations of industrial wireless communication systems and their coexistence in Europe and other organizations are also introduced.
