This separation allows IT communication to maintain real-time capability, but also has costs and challenges in future extensions or changes. A &#8220;convergent network&#8221; can improve these functions by combining IT and OT disciplines in a single network, ensuring that the Ethernet structure, known as Time-Sensitive Networks (TSN), does not affect each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/2-1024x980.jpg\" alt=\"Currently separate networks for fieldbus and IT\" class=\"wp-image-2816\" width=\"521\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/2-1024x980.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/2-300x287.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/2-768x735.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/2-624x597.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TSN as a tool box for special purposes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TSN can be compared to a tool box containing several tools. Each of these tools serves a specific purpose. Here is a brief explanation of the tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quality of Service (QoS)<\/strong> is crucial for real-time-critical traffic, while <strong>preemption<\/strong> reduces data forwarding variance. In addition,<strong> precision Time Protocol (PTP) <\/strong>is used for high-precision time synchronization in AI applications, allowing for microsecond-range synchronization accuracies. <strong>Synchronous communication <\/strong>ensures that terminal-to-terminal response time remains consistent. <strong>Brownfield integration<\/strong> is necessary for Profinet with TSN, as it requires new hardware in all devices involved. However, a smooth transition from Profinet RT to Profinet with TSN is feasible, as any existing Profinet device can be used at the TSN area boundaries. By combining these tools effectively, Profinet with TSN offers advantages without changing the look and feel of the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/4-1024x899.jpg\" alt=\"TSN as a tool box for special purposes\" class=\"wp-image-2818\" width=\"495\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/4-1024x899.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/4-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/4-768x675.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/4-624x548.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Areas of application for Profinet with TSN<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Profinet with TSN offers benefits in applications like optical anomaly detection, vibration data, 3D images, frequency synchronization, alarm messages, and firmware updates. These tools can be used for Profinet communication between controllers and field devices without changing the application view of Profinet. OPC UA with pub\/sub communication is more suitable for data exchange between different controllers. The OPC Foundation is working on a usage concept for TSN in OPC UA Field Exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/5-914x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Areas of application for Profinet with TSN\" class=\"wp-image-2819\" width=\"524\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/5-914x1024.jpg 914w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/5-268x300.jpg 268w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/5-768x860.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/5-624x699.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blog.phoenixcontact.com\/marketing-ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/en-us\/technologies\/communication-technologies\/tsn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The optimal network concept for artificial intelligence Time Sensitive Networks (TSN) can revolutionize automation when combined with Profinet.
