Abstract - Direct computer control of industrial processes over
wireless conduit is just beginning to get momentum among the
manufacturing industries. Historically, it was restricted to space
industry. Manufacturing industries preferred distributed
control over direct computer control partly for the fact that the
computer were not so reliable and reliable ones were quite
expensive to be cost effective. As the computers are becoming
more affordable and reliable, the direct computer control
systems are being adopted by industry for monitoring and
controlling of industrial processes. The process control scheme
combines the power of computer processing and convenience of
wireless conduit in one control system. We believe that the
industrial process can be controlled from a computer over a
wireless conduit. We also believe that the wireless direct
computer control of an industrial process can be achieved
through many of the currently available technologies. In this
paper a direct computer control with a dependable wireless
conduit for controlling, testing and monitoring of a remotely
located rotating electric machine is presented. Several case
studies are performed to validate the performance of the
suggested control scheme. The results of the case studies are
presented and finally a conclusion with recommendation for the
future work is given.
