Ethernet's new era: deterministic control enabled by time-sensitive networking (TSN)
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.
In this article on our partner publication, Automation World, Burke explains how TSN can be used for complex motion control.
