The TSN-Analyzer
The TSN Analyser is a new diagnostic device in a robust design developed by eks Engel. It has been developed especially for project planning as well as commissioning, maintenance and continuous monitoring of TSN networks (Time-Sensitive Networking).
In contrast to expensive laboratory devices, the TSN analyser enables a simple and cost-effective entry into the analysis of TSN data servers. This is made possible by InnoRoute's TSN technology, which has been tested in the LNI 4.0 and IIC testbeds.
Among other things, the TSN analyser supports the real-time standards and procedures from the bridges and bridged network standards IEEE 802.1Q and the profile from IEEE 802.1AS, which is based on the time synchronisation specification IEEE 1588.
The integrated web interface allows management and diagnostic functions to be used via a self-explanatory graphical user interface. A command line interface (CLI) is also available.
In the future, the functional scope of the TSN analyser can be individually expanded via optional software modules. For example, TSN endpoint, traffic generator and various protocol converters, such as from TSN to Profinet or Modbus-TCP, are planned.
