Ethernet's new era: deterministic control enabled by time-sensitive networking (TSN)

July 27, 2023

CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) Advisor Tom Burke offers insights on complex motion control

Ethernet is ready for deterministic motion control, according to Tom Burke, global strategic advisor at CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA). Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is an IEEE 802.1 vendor-independent standard that allows time-coordinated and regular traffic to coexist on Ethernet, while ensuring time-sensitive communications receive priority.
