Industrial automation is getting real (time) with time-sensitive networking (TSN). This open standard, which delivers determinism to Ethernet control networks, works with wireless networks as well. The protocol enables conventional network traffic to coexist with deterministic traffic, making it possible for conventional applications to share a network with control applications.

Senior Content Director and Editor of Electronic Design, Bill Wong, talks with Tom Burke, Global Strategic Advisor, CC-Link Partner Association (CPLA), about how TSN works and why it’s so important to industrial-automation applications.
