Will OPC UA TSN Prevail Over Industrial Ethernet?

摘要

OPC UA is a vendor-independent communication protocol designed for industrial use. Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a further development of the IEEE Ethernet standards. Together, they aim to offer the first truly vendor-independent real-time, deterministic Ethernet communication standard. As the technologies receive increasing attention, experts in automation are asking: Will OPC UA TSN supersede existing industrial Ethernet networks?
