德國漢諾威 - 2022 年 5 月 30 日:Avnu 聯(lián)盟、CC-Link 協(xié)會、ODVA、OPC 基金會和PROFIBUS & PROFINET 國際組織共同宣布正在合作制定一個用于工業(yè)自動化的 IEEE/IEC 60802時間敏感網(wǎng)絡(TSN)規(guī)范的唯一一致性測試方案。該測試方案將成為所有參與組織的測試基礎內(nèi)容,同時也會被提供給更廣泛的工業(yè)自動化生態(tài)圈。這項合作有助于提高用戶的信心,即來自不同制造商、且支持不同自動化網(wǎng)絡協(xié)議的 60802(即 TSN)兼容設備可以在 TSN 層級的鏈路中有效共存,包括與非工業(yè)自動化領域基于 TSN 技術(shù)的設備共存。
合作的重點是,為工業(yè)自動化市場共同努力制定一個達成共識、且共同擁有的測試方案。此次合作方式并非重新建立一個獨立的組織,而是構(gòu)建了一種開放式的工作架構(gòu),讓所有參與的組織可以在協(xié)同工作同時交流想法,以實現(xiàn)所有網(wǎng)絡協(xié)議在開放的、標準的網(wǎng)絡種實現(xiàn)互操作性和共存的最終目標。為方便起見,此項合作將被稱為“TIACC”(TSN 工業(yè)自動化一致性合作)。
TIACC標志著這些組織致力于創(chuàng)建不同制造商設備的互操作生態(tài)系統(tǒng),以符合 IEC/IEEE標準協(xié)會 60802 規(guī)范,并使最終用戶能夠在此開放式標準網(wǎng)絡中自由部署其設備。此次合作的目標是,在 IEC/IEEE 60802 規(guī)范文件發(fā)布后,共同制定的測試方案成為唯一的關于通用測試規(guī)范的最終版本。
Avnu聯(lián)盟總裁 Greg Schlechter 說:“Avnu的目的和使命是改造標準網(wǎng)絡,使其能夠以開放、可互操作的方式支持多種基于時間敏感的應用程序和協(xié)議。這樣的組織間合作對于 IEEE 60802 促進不同的工作負載和協(xié)議在同一鏈路上共存至關重要,同時利用跨行業(yè)使用的基礎網(wǎng)絡的互操作性,將是至關重要的。我們致力于與各行業(yè)合作,建立一個可互操作的設備生態(tài)系統(tǒng),并使最終用戶能夠在此開放式標準網(wǎng)絡中自由部署其設備?!?/p>
CLPA(CC-Link 協(xié)會)全球事務局長 Manabu Hamaguchi 說:“未來互聯(lián)產(chǎn)業(yè)的創(chuàng)建,需要實現(xiàn)必要的過程透明,所以需要各種不同的系統(tǒng)和設備間進行通信。這是 CLPA 的一個核心原則,也是該組織成立的根本原因。這就是為什么我們很高興成為 TIACC 的一部分,并期待支持為 TSN用于工業(yè)自動化 IEC/IEEE 60802 TS 總則的單一通用一致性測試計劃 第 2 頁 兼容產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)建一個統(tǒng)一、通用的測試方案。通過這些工作,我們可以進一步推動采用先進性的技術(shù)實現(xiàn)智能制造?!?/p>
ODVA 總裁兼執(zhí)行總監(jiān) Al Beydoun 博士說:“EtherNet/IP 用戶將能夠利用 60802 TSN 的優(yōu)勢,增強網(wǎng)絡性能、提高利用率,并保證對具有不同優(yōu)先級的多個時間關鍵型應用程序的網(wǎng)絡訪問。ODVA參與TIACC將確保最終用戶充分實現(xiàn)60802 TSN共存的潛力,推動實現(xiàn)工業(yè)4.0和IIoT。”
OPC 基金會主席兼執(zhí)行總監(jiān) Stefan Hoppe 說:“OPC UA 是一個安全的、獨立于供應商的通信解決方案,可以完全從現(xiàn)場擴展到云端,并提供語義互操作性。其它底層 IT 基礎設施,如Ethernet TSN 和 IEC/IEEE 60802 TSN Profile for Industrial Automation,進一步開辟了市場應用。我們相信這種一致性協(xié)作是對與其他 SDO 協(xié)作準備并向行業(yè)提供精簡有效的一致性測試與認證的一個重要貢獻。”
PROFIBUS 和 PROFINET 國際組織(PI)主席 Karsten Schneider 說:“PI 對待一致性測試是非常認真的。我們相信,嚴格的測試可以確??鐝S商的互操作性。這就是為什么近年來我們在測試系統(tǒng)上投入了巨大的努力。通過這一聯(lián)合行動,我們正在向利用 TSN 的融合網(wǎng)絡邁出下一步,使我們的用戶對 PROFINET 的未來充滿信心。這次協(xié)作是數(shù)字化轉(zhuǎn)型道路上的一個巨大里程碑?!?/p>

SINGLE COMMON CONFORMANCE TEST PLAN TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THE IEC/IEEE 60802 TSN PROFILE FOR INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Hanover, Germany – May 30, 2022: the Avnu Alliance, CC-Link Partner Association, ODVA, OPC Foundation, and PROFIBUS & PROFINET International jointly announce that they are collaborating to develop a single conformance test plan for the IEEE/IEC 60802 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) profile for Industrial Automation. The test plan will be used as a base test by all the participating organizations and made available to the broader Industrial Automation ecosystem. This collaboration contributes towards end user confidence that 60802 conformant devices from different manufacturers which support different automation protocols will coexist reliably at the TSN level on shared networks, including with devices using TSN for applications other than automation.
The focus of the collaboration is to work together towards a jointly agreed and owned test planfor the industrial automation market. This formal collaboration provides value by creating a structure in which all these organizations can work together and exchange ideas towards the end goal of interoperability and coexistence on open, standard networks for all protocols,without needing to establish a separate, formal organization. For convenience, the collaboration activities will be referred to as “TIACC” (TSN Industrial Automation Conformance Collaboration).
The TIACC marks a commitment by these organizations to develop an interoperable ecosystem of devices from different manufacturers to comply with the IEC/IEEE Standards Association 60802 profile and enable end-users to confidently deploy these devices on open, standard networks. The goal is to have the final version of the single, shared test plan available soonafter the IEC/IEEE 60802 profile is published.
“Avnu’s purpose and mission is to transform standard networks to enable support for many time sensitive applications and protocols in an open, interoperable manner. This collaboration among organizations will be critically important to facilitating coexistence of multiple workloads and protocols according to IEEE 60802 on a network, while leveraging foundational network interoperability that is used across industries,” said Greg Schlechter, Avnu Alliance President.“We are committed to working with the industries to enable an interoperable ecosystem of devices that allow end users to confidently deploy on open, standard, and converged networks.”
“The creation of the Connected Industries of the future requires different systems and devices to communicate in order to deliver the necessary process transparency required. This is a core principle for the CLPA and is at the root of why the organization was founded. This is why we are delighted to be part of the TIACC and look forward to supporting the creation of a unified,common test plan for TSN-compatible products. By doing so, we can help further boost the adoption of futureproof technologies for smart manufacturing,” said Manabu Hamaguchi, Global Director at CLPA.
“EtherNet/IP users will be able to take advantage of the benefits afforded by 60802 TSN of enhanced network performance, higher utilization, and guaranteed network access for multiple time-critical applications with different priorities. ODVA’s participation in TIACC will ensure that the full potential of 60802 TSN coexistence is realized by end users to help make Industry 4.0 and IIoT a reality,” said Dr. Al Beydoun, President and Executive Director at ODVA.
“OPC UA is a secure, vendor-independent communication solution that fully scales from the field to the cloud and offers semantic interoperability. Other underlying IT infrastructure such as Ethernet TSN and the IEC/IEEE 60802 TSN Profile for Industrial Automation open up further applications for the market. We believe this conformance collaboration is an important contribution to preparing and delivering streamlined and effective conformance testing and certification to the industry in collaboration with other SDOs,” said Stefan Hoppe, President and Executive Director of the OPC Foundation.
“At PI we are taking conformance testing very seriously. It’s our belief, that thought-out testing ensures cross-vendor interoperability. That’s why we invested huge efforts in our test system in recent years. With this joint initiative we are taking the next step towards converged networks utilizing TSN, giving our users the confidence in the future-readiness of PROFINET. This collaboration is a huge milestone on the way of the digital transformation,” said Karsten Schneider, Chairperson of PROFIBUS and PROFINET International (PI).
