Webinar in co-operation with Cisco - Time-Sensitive Networking: An overview and working model
With the strong trend towards Deterministic Ethernet, Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things, manufacturing, utilities and transportation companies are requesting technology vendors to build deterministic real-time control platforms on open yet secure networking solutions.
There is a high demand for a converged IEEE 802 solution for deterministic Ethernet to converge Industrial Control and Automation applications with other IT applications and meet the needs of existing and emerging markets. Efficient utilization of the communication bandwidth and plug-and-play capabilities are topmost requirements in IEEE 802.1. TSN is part of a stepwise approach.
With Audio-Visual Bridging AVB, IEEE 802.1 moved into the area of real-time communication. Already in place today from an infrastructure component point of view. With TSN, IEEE 802.1 moves into the area of hard real-time and reliable communication.
TSN is being specified to provide Deterministic Ethernet capabilities to innovative networked control solutions to support:
• Transportation: Traffic control systems; vehicular/automotive networks; railway-rolling stock; piloted cars
• Motion control: wind turbines, printing machines
• Power utility automation
• Industrial distributed control systems/networks
TSN offers solutions that will provide internet connectivity and security while guaranteeing critical real-time communication on the same physical network infrastructure based on existing and upcoming IEEE 802.1 and IEEE 802.3 Time-Sensitive Networking standards.
This session will review some of the key updates that make up IEEE 802.1 TSN, including IEEE 802.1Qbv Enhancements for Scheduled Traffic and others. In addition, we will describe a system design that depicts how TSN would be implemented and operate, including:
- How will streams be requested
- How will streams configurations (schedules) be deployed in the network infrastructure
- The life of a TSN packet from device to device
Lastly, the session will look at some of the interoperability and certification work being done by Avnu on top of the IEEE TSN initiatives.
Paul Didier is Solution Architect - Industries Product Group at Cisco and will lead you through the webinar.
