Communication System And Method For Industrial Automation

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a first set of program instructions, a second set of program instructions, a third set of program instructions, and a fourth set of program instructions;

• wherein the first set of program instructions causes a sensor device to perform:
• measuring operational information associated with an industrial asset;
• transmitting the operational information to a first gateway device via a first wireless connection;
• wherein the second set of program instructions causes the first gateway device to perform:
• receiving the operational information via the first wireless connection;
• transmitting the operational information to a second gateway device via a wired connection;
• wherein the third set of program instructions causes the second gateway device to perform:
• receiving the operational information via the wired connection;
• transmitting the operational information to an industrial automation device via a second wireless connection;
• and
• wherein the fourth set of program instructions causes the industrial automation device to perform:
• receiving the operational information via the second wireless connection.

A system comprising:

• a sensor device, a first gateway device, a second gateway device, and an industrial automation device;
• wherein the sensor device is configured to:
• measure operational information associated with an industrial asset;
• transmit the operational information to the first gateway device via a first wireless connection;
• wherein the first gateway device is configured to:
• receive the operational information from the sensor device via the first wireless connection;
• transmit the operational information to the second gateway device via a wired connection;
• wherein the second gateway device is configured to:
• receive the operational information from the first gateway device via the wired connection;
• transmit the operational information to the industrial automation device via a second wireless connection;
• and
• wherein the industrial automation device is configured to:
• receive the operational information from the second gateway device via the second wireless connection.
