TTTech
A TSN starter package
A starter package for setting up, configuring and testing TSN networks. TTTech is now launching it.
TSN is an open standard that is supported by all leading providers of industrial automation. But how can TSN networks be set up, configured and tested today? TTTech now offers a TSN starter package in three variants, which should be suitable for any evaluation project. The package is available for an evaluation period of 6 months, 12 months or for prototyping. Customers working on prototyping projects can take advantage of perpetual licenses for the reference design and configuration software, enabling long-term use of the starter pack in TSN test networks. Customers can use it to create a TSN switch according to their specifications and integrate it into a TSN test network together with other switches and end nodes.
The starter package consists of an evaluation board and an IP core as well as associated software, which together provide a stable hardware platform for the integration and evaluation of TSN Ethernet functionality. The evaluation board can be used to implement customized configurations on an FPGA and can serve as a 4+1 port switch to build TSN networks that can be configured using TTTech Industrial's browser-based software. The software plans and configures any TSN-compliant network or device. It enables modeling of topologies, adding streams and rolling out configurations for TSN networks.
Additional devices (from any TSN-compliant vendor) can be added to this network and made available for configuration. The components of the starter pack support the core mechanisms of TSN such as time synchronization (IEEE 802.1AS) and time-aware shaping (IEEE 802.1Qbv), as well as other mechanisms such as frame pre-emption (IEEE 802.1Qbu), SRP enhancements (IEEE 802.1Qcc) and bumpless redundancy (IEEE 802.1CB).
