Wireless extensions of CANBUS in industrial applications

With the success of wireless technologies in consumer electronics, standard wireless technologies are envisioned for the deployment in industrial environments as well. This paper presents a practical implementation of a coupling element of wireless LAN and industrial CANBUS system. And it designs the specific software and hardware of AP (the coupling element) as an embedded system. Finally, we show the general viability of the approach through experiments.
