Test kit for real-time networks in automotive and industrial areas
Based on the Innovasic fido5000 REM switch technology, the kit is pre-installed with the most mature TSN features starting with 802.1AS and 802.1Qbv. As TSN standards evolve, new features will be made available as free downloads through Innovasic’s Developer Portal. The TSN standards that will be supported by future updates to the kit are:
- 802.1AS, AS-REV – Time Synchronization
- 802.1Qbv – Scheduled Traffic (updates)
- 802.1Qci – Ingress Policing
- 802.1CB – Seamless Redundancy
- 802.1Qcc – Centralized Configuration
- 802.1bu – Pre-emption
Evaluation of TSN is simplified by using the kit as a TSN gateway. Ethernet enabled devices can be plugged into the kit’s standard Ethernet port and the other two ports are plugged into a TSN network. The TSN gateway is then configured to send and receive TSN streams over the TSN network based messages to and from the standard Ethernet device. In this way, a standard Ethernet device can talk to any other TSN-enabled device on a TSN network.
The kit will be available at the 2016 IEEE Standards Association Ethernet & IP @ Automotive Technology Day in Paris, France September 20th and 21st and at the 2016 Congress Industrial Ethernet TSN in Stuttgart, Germany September 27th.
