Wireless communication technology is becoming increasingly used in our daily lives and as such has found its way into industrial automation through a variety of mediums. Of these wireless technologies, Bluetooth is a respected technology for wireless communication in the consumer market due to its reliability, universal adoption, ease of use, and low cost. Bluetooth is a key communication technology driver behind the Internet of Things and with the increased adoption and implementation of the Industrial Internet of Things, Bluetooth technology expands the communication selection in the industrial automation ecosystem.
This paper aims to explore the potential for implementing Bluetooth for industrial use cases with CIP communications as the application layer interface for devices and software clients. It will examine the recent enhancements to the Bluetooth specifications that allow its potential use in the market, along with Bluetooth's security, stability, technical specifications, and the mapping of CIP onto Bluetooth transport with the exploration of implementing extensions of CIP onto Bluetooth. Additionally, feasibility by exploring use cases, industrial considerations, security at the application layer, and ODVA impact will be considered during this session’s content.
