Abstract
Wireless technologies are spreading also to safety-related applications.
Wireless communication is realised by sending messages bit by bit from
transmitter to receiver (serial mode communication). This resembles quite much
the method used in field buses. There are already several field buses, which
are validated to be used in safety-related applications. Some of these may
include also wireless links between modules. Many similar risks are relevant
both in wireless communication systems and field buses. Wireless systems
introduce also some new risks and the probability of failure is often higher
than in wired systems. When all the risks or threats are considered and
adequate measures are applied to minimise risks, wireless communication can be
relevant in safety-related applications.
