From 1973 to 2023, Ethernet technology has gone through 50 years and is still constantly innovating, laying a solid foundation for the future Internet of Things. To meet the flexible and ever-changing industrial application requirements, Ethernet technology needs to be continuously optimized, including improving data transmission speed, providing real-time reliable communication, and supporting more diverse connection methods. Therefore, exploring new possibilities and breaking through existing technological boundaries is crucial for promoting the development of Ethernet technology.
This white paper will explore how to comprehensively utilize Time Sensitive Networks (TSN) and Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) solutions to promote the development of standard Ethernet in various industries to new heights. Firstly, this article will discuss how TSN, as a standard Ethernet extension technology, can provide real-time deterministic communication to meet the constantly changing requirements of industrial network architecture. Secondly, we will also explore how SPE, as a standard Ethernet transmission technology, can achieve data transmission and Ethernet power supply through only a single pair of copper wires, making diversified applications possible.
Standard Ethernet
Is the key to achieving a unified network
With the advent of Industry 4.0, the focus of network construction has shifted from simple device connections to efficient access and use of data. Building a unified and flat network architecture to ensure seamless communication between IT and OT systems is crucial for achieving real-time data management and transmission.
TSN and SPE have become two important Ethernet technologies, helping to build a unified industrial network and elevating Ethernet functionality to new heights. Based on standard Ethernet, TSN provides real-time deterministic communication and establishes a unified industrial backbone network for various systems. SPE only requires a single pair of cables to achieve long-distance data transmission and Ethernet power supply, expanding Ethernet coverage to industrial sites, achieving full device connectivity, and building a truly unified industrial network.
Building a unified open infrastructure network
Cornerstone – TSN
The research and discussion results of multiple industry forums indicate that the future of industrial networks will mainly focus on TSN. TSN guarantees deterministic services, allowing time sensitive data to be transmitted through standard Ethernet. Industrial control applications using standard Ethernet have successfully achieved real-time communication. In addition, TSN supports data transmission under different communication protocols, enabling coordinated and parallel operation of different systems, and promoting the formation of a unified and open network architecture.
The successful application of TSN in various fields indicates that this technology can be used as a unified platform to integrate different systems.
Connect the construction of a unified open network
“Last Kilometer” – SPE
SPE connects on-site equipment and devices to the upper layer network, forming a unified network architecture for seamless data transmission. With the help of data-based technologies such as predictive maintenance, the production process continuously reduces costs and increases efficiency.
In the era of Industry 4.0, network transformation is a key driving force for industrial digitization and intelligence. Building a unified network using standard Ethernet technology not only improves production efficiency but also promotes the development of intelligent manufacturing. Essentially, TSN is the cornerstone of building a unified infrastructure network, while SPE extends Ethernet to industrial sites, taking us further towards the goal of a unified network.
