Florian Frick, Group Leader Real-Time Communication and Control Hardware at ISW Stuttgart and Meinrad Happacher, Editor at Large of Computer&AUTOMATION with a commentary on Part 6 of the successful TSN series.
The hopes and expectations for TSN could hardly be greater: TSN is supposed to
bridge between IT and OT and also guarantee convergent networks.
networks. Furthermore, TSN is regarded as a symbol of the standardization of fieldbuses and
as the basis for wireless real-time communication! All hopes and expectations
expectations that bring with them a multitude of political and technical discussions.

We have already addressed many of these topics in our TSN series,
presented different perspectives, discussed many standards and outlined solutions.
and outlined solutions. Some of those interested may be shocked by the
the complexity of the issue and have put themselves on hold.
But should we really wait until the IEEE, FLC, IEC and co.
come to a final agreement? This is certainly a basic requirement for some applications
- but by no means for all! For many tasks, the already established
TSN components are sufficient - you can already benefit from them today.
benefit from them today.
Therefore, in part 6 of the TSN series, we are not focusing on standards, theory and politics, but rather on practice: With a hands-on tutorial, we want to help you get your first TSN application up and running in no time at all.
As always, we welcome your feedback, comments and suggestions on this series.
Yours, Florian Frick and Meinrad Happacher
