Video: Hannover Messe 2017
TSN - Real-time Ethernet
TSN - the real-time extension of standard Ethernet - was a hot topic at Hannover Messe 2017. Four short trade fair videos document how quickly the technology could find its way into the industry and the benefits of using it.
"TSN will shake up the world of automation!"
TSN is now also finding its way into the SmartFactoryKL technology initiative. Prof. Dr. Detlef Zühlke, CEO of the initiative, explained the importance of TSN for the production facilities of tomorrow at the Hannover Messe 2017.
TSN - An essential building block for Industry 4.0
The TSN testbed at the IIC (Industrial Internet Consortium) stand at Hannover Messe 2017 was very popular with visitors. Stephan Kehrer, Senior Architect Technology at Hirschmann, and Dr. Thomas Brandl, Director of Sercos & TSN Strategy at Bosch Rexroth, explain the opportunities that Time Sensitive Networking brings to industrial networking.
Profinet via TSN
Profinet via TSN - Volker Goller, Systems Applications Engineer at Analog Devices, explained how this works with the gateway from Innovasic at the Profinet stand at Hannover Messe 2017.
A smart factory needs TSN!
Kuka's Smart Factory at the Hannover Messe 2017 - for Heinrich Munz, Lead Architect Industry 4.0 at Kuka, a prime example of how modern factory architectures can be implemented using OPC UA over TSN.
