Prototyping and testing of TSN
Very high demands are placed on TSN in terms of interoperability. What contribution do cross-manufacturer testbeds make here? How can the implementations of TSN standards and interoperability be tested?

There was a lot of news in the past month that we included in our reporting. One thing became clear: despite the crisis, the industry is not standing still, even sees opportunities and is continuing to develop. The most-read articles for you in June.
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is regarded as the key technology for convergent IT and OT networks. Open solutions can contribute to the development of the ecosystem, but which software functions are actually required and which solutions are already available?
Over the past month, we have reported on a wide range of automation technologies: TSN, OPC UA, cloud computing and IO-Link, to name just a few topics. We also spoke to automation experts about the current state of affairs.
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) has an impact on the automation industry and the IT world like no other standard. What is the status quo?

TSN has enormous potential for automation technology - the management of the ISW in Stuttgart is certain of this. In mid-May 2017, the institute therefore hosted the kick-off event for the 'TSN for Automation' industry working group.
All signs point to the fact that Ethernet TSN could be a major step towards moving away from proprietary communication protocols in automation technology - right down to field level, for sophisticated drive technology applications.
Control technology in the cloud
What opportunities does the cloud open up for industrial control technology? Speakers at the 'Stuttgart Innovation Days' got to the bottom of this question at the end of January.

Sercos International will be presenting the transmission of the Sercos III real-time protocol via IEEE 802.1 TSN (Time Sensitive Networks) for the first time at SPS IPC Drives 2016.
