Evaluation Kit designed for industrial and automotive applications

A TSN Evaluation Kit is being launched by Innovasic, based on its fido5000 REM Switch technology. Containing everything needed to evaluate the features of the emerging IEEE 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards, 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 Synchronisation
  • 802.1Qbv – Scheduled Traffic (updates)
  • 802.1Qci – Ingress Policing
  • 802.1CB – Seamless Redundancy
  • 802.1Qcc – Centralised 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.

Volker Goller, Innovasic’s European Manager for Real-Time Ethernet commented: “Innovasic’s TSN Evaluation Kit provides a path to full TSN Ethernet that developers can access now.”

Goller added: “The easy updates to our kit allow users to continuously evaluate TSN and determine how best to add value to their future products and system architectures.”

Demonstrating the capabilities of TSN, the kit will be on show at the at the IEEE Standards Association Ethernet & IP at Automotive Technology Day 2016 in Paris 20th-21st September, and again Congress Industrial Ethernet TSN in Stuttgart, on 27th September.
