How the fusion of time sensitive networking, time-triggered ethernet and data centricity can change industrial control
This document discusses how integrating time-sensitive networking (TSN) with a data-centric connectivity approach using the Data Distribution Service (DDS) can improve industrial control systems. TSN provides real-time and deterministic networking over Ethernet, while DDS enables loose coupling, plug-and-play integration, and data sharing through its publish-subscribe model. Together, TSN and DDS can address challenges with traditional connectivity approaches by leveraging commodity hardware, simplifying integration, and allowing for improved data usage. The document outlines relevant TSN standards and how DDS quality of service policies can map to TSN priorities to provide deterministic networking.
