Purpose - Modern manufacturing plants have a desperate need for large amounts of sensor information, to refine and improve their production. A novel peer-to-peer distributed sensor network (DSN) framework is presented in this paper to continue the previous research of the IP sensor.
Design/rnethodology/approach - A device description sheet method, stemming from the TEDS of IEEE 1451 standard, is presented to achieve the self-identify and self-description of each IP sensor in a DSN application, Moreover, a virtual mapping mechanism, named transducer domain name server (TDNS), is also presented.
Findings - Ethernet is the backbone of the DSN architecture presented, and direct access between any two sensors located in a same DSN is allowable. With the help of the TDNS, the reallocation of each sensor's role at run-time is achieved by performing a dynamic binding between the devices monitored and the IP sensors,
Originality/value - in the new proposal, two key problems, including the connection establishment of a large sensor network and the dynamic reallocation of each sensor's role at run-time, are efficiently settled. All of the methods presented will be an important step towards seeking for a practical use at the production floor.
