TSN Technology Brief: How to Stay Ahead of the Market
Time Sensitive Networking, TSN, is widely seen as crucial for next-generation automation and production systems. It will play an important role in the bigger digitization scenario. And it could allow, for the first time, different cells of automation to exchange data in full synchronization, and to collaborate in real time. While industry is in the early stages of TSN definition and deployment, many are asking: What should we do now? How can vendors and users prepare themselves for the eventual migration to TSN architectures and devices? This Tech Brief lays out the current state of TSN, why it will be so important, and how to prepare for its deployment in automation. Hilscher is keeping ahead of all technical developments and pioneering many learning opportunities already. Download Tech Brief. READ MORE

FLEXIBLE AND SCALABLE NETX
When a Chip is More Than Just a Chip
Hilscher’s netX network controller chips provide universal Master and/or Slave connection to all popular communications protocols. But this “System-on-a-Chip” is so much more. netX is at the heart of every Hilscher solution. It offers flexible integration at all levels of the automation architecture and supports protocols for Fieldbuses, Real-Time Ethernets, TSN, and IIoT, such as OPC UA and MQTT, in a single chip with common tools and software. With netX chips, designers can build their own communications boards. netX modules make it easy to integrate communication protocols into controls and devices. Our PC cards with netX deliver communications to PC platforms. And for end-users and integrators, our netX-based gateways and IoT solutions bridge disparate automation networks and provide device data to cloud-based solutions. Hilscher builds security functions into netX and guarantees long-term chip availability, with the netX 100 offered for an astonishing 27 years. READ MORE
