Industrial networks enable communication among elements of a control system. These include sensors, valves, motors, pumps, drives and more. Control communications can impact performance, quality and reliability. In addition, control devices or the controller play an important role in information gathering to support layered analytics. Selecting an industrial network is pivotal to creating the most competitive machine, production line or process. Ethernet with time-sensitive networking (TSN) is an advanced networking technology that enhances standard Ethernet with features required for deterministic communication and precise time synchronization in industrial and automation applications. TSN is an IEEE 802.1 standard that adds mechanisms to Ethernet to enable deterministic real-time communication with bounded latency, low packet delay variation and extremely low data loss. This makes it suitable for applications with stringent timing requirements, such as industrial automation, automotive, aerospace and professional audio/video.
