Abstract

The Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standard was introduced to provide deterministic Ethernet-based communication for industrial distributed systems. However, configuration needs to be done manually and is error prone. Combining TSN with the IEC 61499 modeling standard opens up new opportunities for automatic network configuration. A prerequisite is to have an in depth understanding of the requirements for a TSN/IEC 61499 control system and especially of the communication time behavior. We developed a time measurement concept to analyze the timing effects on three important layers under different traffic configurations. We deployed our IEC 61499 implementation on two directly connected Intel I210 evaluation boards based on a minimized Linux Operating System to reduce non-deterministic external influences. The results show the expected effect of using a TSN configuration and a particularly positive impact with TSN transmission windows that are long enough for the IEC 61499 application, especially at the receiving device. The measured delays are shorter for the IEC 61499 application when it is scheduled as time-critical with competing traffic compared to when it runs without a TSN schedule and competing traffic. This is evidence that IEC 61499 performs very well together with a TSN configuration, which opens the door for automatic network configuration in IEC 61499 Ethernet/TSN control applications.
