Integrating typical wireless sensors into industrial control systems is a crucial task to realize the full potential of the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT). Many lightweight protocols exist for the use in the IoT context with a focuson energy efficient data transmissions. Industrial protocols on the other hand ensure reliable and timely transfer of data but typically at the cost of a higher energy consumption. In this paper, we analyze and compare one protocol from each category to determine the different energy consumption and then evaluate how different sending schemes can enhance the energy consumption of the industrial protocol. The goal is to reduce the energy consumption while keeping the relevant information under industrial constraints and enabling tuning to different scenarios. Our results show that these goals are achievable by applying event-based sending approaches. However, a good understanding of the process at hand is required to trade-off different constraints.
