Key Technologies of Time-Sensitive Networking and Its Application

Abstract

Abstract Network is the core element of many industrial and automation systems. In the future, more attention will be paid to convergent and unified network. Time-critical traffic and non-time-critical traffic need to share communication channels. The goal of the IEEE TSN task group is to extend the existing Ethernet standard to achieve a degree of certainty that meets the hard-real-time requirements of modern control networks in the industrial automation and automotive industries. Time sensitive network (TSN) is characterized by low jitter, low delay and deterministic transmission. It can transmit critical and non-critical traffic in the same network, which is very suitable for time- critical applications with high requirements on transmission delay. This paper briefly summarizes the key components of TSN, studies the key technologies, and carries out a simple traffic scheduling experiment on the switch based on 802.1Qbv function, and finally analyzes the application of TSN in industrial automation and automobile industry.
