From Profinet to HDBaseT: Flexible Measurement Technology for TSN Communication in Industry and Automotive

TSN Systems introduces several novelties for the analysis of TSN-based networks in the industrial and automotive sectors.

The TSN/A conference is the annual industry meeting of all industries interested in TSN based communication. Nowadays, there is emphasis on industrial automation and in-car communication in particular. TSN Systems is continually expanding its product portfolio to provide manageable measurement and validation solutions for users in both industries.

Profinet-over-TSN monitoring with TSN Box and TSN Tools:

Based on the Profinet-over-TSN specification V2.4, TSN Systems can already offer a monitoring and analysis tool based on TSN Tools and TSN Box to analyze networks. Especially in the early phases of planning and implementation, users are therewith enabled to clearly analyze the critical parameters of time synchronization (gPTP) and isochronous data exchange (IEEE 802.1Qbv, Qbu). It is naturally also possible to analyze all networks based on the use cases of the IEEE Working Group 60802.

Audio Toolbox for IEEE 1733/1722:

With AVB, audio over Ethernet has already been technically established for several years. Nevertheless, the development of IVI systems based on IEEE 1733 and IEEE 1722 presents OEM and TIER1 with considerable challenges during development and validation. TSN Systems will present a comprehensive toolbox for the validation and development of AVB talkers/listers and gPTP masters at TSN/A for the first time. Many audio-specific analyzers such as media clock jitter, presentation time budget and gPTP jitter sensitivity are included in the package.

TAP Device for Ethernet-over-HDBaseT in Automotive:

Furthermore, TSN Systems in cooperation with Valens demonstrates a TAP device for Ethernet-over-HDBaseT. TSN Box 3.0 has been enhanced with the HDBaseT interface option for TAP and Talker/Listener to validate special IVI solutions based on HDBaseT.
