Design and implementation of industrial wireless gateway based on ZigBee communication

In order to realize the interoperability between industrial wireless measure and control network and foreign control network, a novel wireless gateway was designed. Through analyzing the requirement of wireless gateway, gateway communication model was setup based on ZigBee wireless communication technology. Then this paper introduced software and hardware structure of gateway, as well as related technology, such as network management, address mapping, protocol translation. Finally, this paper provided test method and test results of the wireless gateway. And test results showed that ZigBee wireless gateway could finish the essential function, thus provided an effective way to solve the connection between industrial wireless network and wire network.
