Employing TSN Over Ethernet to Enable Precision Motor Control Through Operator Gesture

Nicolas Lehment - NXP - Watch Now - EOC 2021 - Duration: 04:33

TSN allows designers to combine multiple real-time applications on the same cable, even with multiple protocols.

This demo shows the i.MX 8M Plus processor, i.MX RT1170 MCU and Layerscape LS1028A using different protocols such as Profinet and Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA), as well as custom motor control messages over TSN Ethernet in a complex industrial system.

Does the RT1170 support TSN client? For example, can the RT1170 reserve/request a minimal amount of jitter for sending or receiving messages via the TSN protocol?

Hello, the i.MX RT1170 has a single TSN MAC. So with a suitable SW Stack, it can operate as a TSN enabled endpoint to run e.g. time scheduled traffic (as specified in IEEE 802.1Qbv) with tightly bounded jitter in the sending schedule.
