In comparison to wired fieldbuses, the hybrid wired\/wireless fieldbus network has a different system architecture, data transmission mechanism, communication protocol, etc. This leads to different challenges that need to be addressed. This paper proposes a hybrid wired\/wireless fieldbus network which consists of a wireless industrial control network (WICN), a wired PROFIBUS-DP (Process Field Bus-Decentralized Periphery) fieldbus network, and a wired MODBUS\/TCP (Mod Bus\/Transmission Control Protocol) fieldbus network. They are connected by a new gateway which uses a shared data model to solve data exchange in different network protocols. In this paper, we describe the architecture of the proposed hybrid wired\/wireless fieldbus network and data transmission mechanisms in detail, and then evaluate the performance of hybrid fieldbus network via a set of experiments. The experiment results confirm that the proposed hybrid wired\/wireless fieldbus network can satisfy the performance requirement of industrial network control systems. Furthermore, in order to further investigate feasibility of the proposed hybrid wired\/wireless fieldbus network, it is deployed at a steam turbine power generation system, and the performance figures obtained further verify its feasibility and effectiveness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info7030037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,25]],"date-time":"2016-06-25T21:21:45Z","timestamp":1466889705000},"page":"37","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Design of Hybrid Wired\/Wireless Fieldbus Network for Turbine Power Generation System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8485-3753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sheng","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Power Station Automation Technology, School of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Nantong Vocational University, Nantong 226007, China"}]},{"given":"Minrui","family":"Fei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Power Station Automation Technology, School of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, China"}]},{"given":"Haikuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Power Station Automation Technology, School of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Li, X., Li, D., Wan, J., Vasilakos, A.V., Lai, C.F., and Wang, S.
