Understanding the Importance of TSN Ethernet in Industrial Networks
The IEEE 802.1 Ethernet wired networking protocol continues to evolve with bandwidth capabilities of up to 10Gbit/s and an increasingly diverse set of use cases. Ethernet's popularity has seen it adopted for use within the automotive and industrial domain. Applications are rapidly evolving too, and some introduced the need for a robust networking protocol that provides deterministic behaviour in hard real-time applications such as automation robots. The time-sensitive network (TSN) task group, formed in 2012, set about defining several enhancements to the Ethernet standard including scheduling and time shaping features such as enhancements to scheduled traffic (EST) and frame pre-emption (FPE). In this presentation, we discuss the advantages and operation of the TSN Ethernet enhancements and how they are used in real applications and the performance improvements that can be gained.
