Advanced TSN solutions for industrial networks

Digital Factory

 

Modern industrial networks are evolving rapidly as factories adopt integrating concepts like Industry 4.0, with higher bandwiths, modular production, and edge-based control. In this environment, Ethernet-based communication must not only be fast and scalable, but also deterministic and robust enough to handle real-time control, safety functions, and massive sensor data streams.

The fusion of field busses and standard ethernet communication with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) over Industrial Ethernet is a key enabler of this transformation—but only when all its timing behavior, security aspects, load conditions, and fault tolerance are thoroughly validated. The TSN Systems Industrial Ethernet Validation Toolchain provides a complete environment for that purpose. It combines high-precision hardware interfaces with powerful analysis, visualization, and automation software to observe and evaluate network behavior under realistic plant conditions—from lab benches and test rigs to tapping full production cells.

Engineers can validate synchronization, scheduling, traffic shaping, and redundancy concepts while quickly identifying jitter, delay, security and configuration issues. By unifying measurement, stimulation, and reporting in a single toolchain, TSN Systems helps industrial automation teams accelerate commissioning, reduce downtime risk, increase security and gain confidence in TSN-enabled control networks.

Benefits of Validation and Evaluation

Time savings in analysis and troubleshooting

Whether machine controls, robots, synchronized processes, or real-time requirements in production lines: the development of TSN-capable end nodes and networks requires sophisticated and reliable measurement equipment.

With TSN CoreSolution, this is achieved with 100% error detection, greatly reducing the amount of analysis required.

Reduced downtime through long-term monitoring

Production downtime in industry often costs €10,000+ per hour.

Continuous monitoring with TSNAP Industrial allows faults to be detected early → downtime reduced by 30–50%.

In addition, anomalies in the network that indicate a hacker attack can be detected.

Increased network reliability

Precise network synchronization (gPTP) reduces jitter and timing errors by >90%.

The TSN Timepiece receives GNSS signals and serves as a gPTP grandmaster to reliably ensure time distribution in a TSN/Ethernet network in accordance with IEEE 802.1AS.
