PRESENTATION SCHEDULE & ABSTRACTS


Day 1 l September 20, 2017

Keynote: Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) – Enabling Technology for the Automation Model of the Future

09:00 - 09:45Wolfgang Schenk, Hirschmann Automation and Control

Wolfgang Schenk is currently General Manager of Belden’s Industrial Networking business and the Hirschmann brand product range. Prior to this he was Vice President Sales and Marketing EMEA. Mr. Schenk, who holds a degree in Engineering, joined Hirschmann in 1986. He held a number of posts in Service, Sales and Marketing. In 1999, he was initiator and foundation member of Industrial Automation Open Networking Alliance (IAONA), an independent platform organization for industrial Ethernet, and he served as its first Chairman.

Due to an ever increasing amount of sensors at the field level as well as the likewise growing demand for continuous data access between the field level and MES/ERP systems, the traditional model of the automation pyramid is in a state of flux. As a consequence, established communication structures will need to change and accommodate for a converged, high-speed IT and OT networks, while also supporting scalable deterministic data transmissions. Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) is an IEEE standardized technology that satisfies these exact requirements.

This presentation takes a look at the transformation of the automation pyramid towards an automation pillar and will show why TSN is the enabling technology for this transformation. Additionally, it covers the important aspect of TSN configuration, which is a key element for the success of this technology.

RELATED TO IEEE ACTIVITIES ON TSN

Time Synchronization on wired and wireless infrastructure

09:45 - 10:15Kevin Stanton, Ph.D., Intel Corporation

Kevin Stanton is a senior technologist at Intel Corporation where he drives time-related technologies and standards for industrial and automotive systems, communications networks and cloud computation. He was a major contributor to the TSN profile of IEEE 1588 (IEEE 802.1AS) and is Chair of the BoD of Avnu Alliance.

19



Bounded Low Latency in IEEE 802.1 and IETF DetNet

10:15 - 10:45Janos Farkas, Ericsson

Dr. János Farkas is senior specialist of deterministic networking at Ericsson Research and is the Chair of the IEEE 802.1 Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Task Group. He is also an active contributor to the IETF Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Working Group. He holds a number of patents and published research papers in the area of telecommunications networks. He has Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

The IEEE 802.1 Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Task Group and the IETF Deterministic Networking (DetNet) Working Group work on Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks that provide deterministic low latency for time-critical applications. Multiple queueing and shaping mechanisms are defined in order to deliver the right packet at the right time. These mechanisms should be available both at Layer 2 and Layer 3 in order to achieve zero congestion loss for time-critical data, i.e., to guarantee a worst-case end-to-end latency. Scheduled Traffic (802.1Qbv), Frame Preemption (802.3br & 802.1Qbu), and Cyclic Queueing and Forwarding (802.1Qch) have been already standardized. The standardization of the Asynchronous Traffic Shaping (P802.1Qcr) is at an early stage and further ideas are arising. That is, there is ongoing work both in TSN and DetNet in order to provide bounded low latency in various use cases.

Data Reliability and Redundancy

11:15 - 11:45Don Pannell, Marvell

For the last 20+ years, Don has been the key architect for small port count Ethernet switches, mainly at Marvell Semiconductor. During this time he was also active in both IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.1, where more recently he has worked on all the IEEE 802.1 AVB/TSN standards.

The IEEE 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards are an every growing set of tools in a toolbox, many of which are targeted to help ensure Data Reliability. The completeness of the fault coverage and the fault recovery latency required to insure Data Reliability is application dependent. As the complexity and costs increase for better fault coverage and zero latency fault recovery solutions, the TSN standards offer a range of solutions for every application, some of which use Redundancy.

This presentation will cover the TSN standards that affect Data Reliability so that the right tools can be selected for your application.

TSN System Configuration and Resource Management – A Bottomless Pit?

11:45 - 12:15Stephan Kehrer, Hirschmann Automation and Control

Stephan Kehrer joined Belden in 2007 and is working in the ‚Technology and Innovation‘ department within Belden‘s industrial IT platform since 2012. Stephan‘s work focuses on new technologies, standardization and research projects in the area of industrial communication. He is actively involved in the specification of TSN at the IEEE and is likewise active in IEC. Stephan completed his studies in information technology at Eberhard Karls University Tübingen.

With Time Sensitive Networking (TSN), standard IEEE Ethernet evolves from a best effort technology to a technology that can offer strict timing guarantees as a primary performance metric. The use of TSN, however, entails a certain configuration complexity as the network suddenly has to learn and manage various application-level communication requirements. Exposing as little of this additional configuration complexity as possible to the end-user is widely seen as a key aspect for broad market acceptance of TSN.

This presentation provides an overview of the current state of discussion and standardization, focusing on the configuration and resource management required to fully leverage deterministic communication with TSN. In doing so, we show how timing guarantees and ease of use can be achieved at the same time.

20



Keynote: The Use of AVB and TSN in the Automotive Industry

13:45 - 14:30Dr. Kirsten Matheus, BMW

Dr. Matheus studied electrical engineering as well as business economics and obtained her PhD in telecommunications. After working five more years in mobile communication research she joined the automotive industry in 2003. Since 2009 her task was to establish Ethernet as an in-vehicle networking technology in the industry. She is now responsible for the IVN strategy at BMW in general.

The AVB and especially the newer TSN protocols enable a large variety of new functions over the Ethernet network. This presentation describes the results of two workshops the Avnu Alliance held in order to gauge the need in the automotive industry for different AVB/TSN functions.

TRACK 2

TSN Demands on Industrial System Architectures

14:30 - 15:00Steve Zuponcic, Rockwell Automation

Steve Zuponcic is a Technology Manager in Rockwell Automation‘s Common Architecture and Technology organization. He has over 35 years of experience in industrial automation. Steve chairs ODVA’s Distributed Motion and Time Synchronization SIG, and co-chairs the Machinery Information SIG. Additionally, he serves on the board of directors, for the Avnu Alliance.

It’s not about TSN technology but about what the technology demands from industrial systems and architectures for them to be successful. System level configuration – including network calculus, network scheduling, and policy-based prioritization for “fairness on the wire” – allows for control of both the network and the application. Modeling and simulation prior to hardware acquisition and commissioning can provide substantial time and cost savings. TSN system deployment can reduce the demand for highly skilled networking experts. This presentation describes the requirements for system management of TSN throughout the lifecycle of a Connected Enterprise.

Current Deployments of Real-Time AVB Media Networks

15:00 - 15:30Bernd Schindler, Ingenieurbüro Schindler

Bernd Schindler is an experienced consultant on large scale AV installations and strategic consulting for large and multi-national companies. He started his company in 2002, offering various technical services in the AV market. Since 2009 he has focused on AV-consulting and the company was renamed it as “Ingenieurbüro Schindler”. He holds a Bachelor degree in Building- and Energy-Technologies. Notable clients include: adidas, Siemens and Schaeffler

The transition from proprietary AV distribution to a fully AVB driven System. Schaeffler in Herzogenaurach built a new conference center in 2011 based on latest AV technology of the time. Now step by step the existing infrastructure is converted to an AVB based platform. While the changeover of the Audio infrastructure is already completed the inclusion of digital video has just begun. The presentation will give insights in in the transition process, the current deployment and next steps in the project.

Insights on the performance and configuration of AVB and TSN in automotive applications

16:00 - 16:30Dr. Jörn Migge, RealTime-at-Work

Jörn Migge is leading the development of RTaW‘s timing verification tools. Before joining RTaW, he worked for 8 years at the research department of PSA Peugeot-Citroën on methods and tools. He has participated to the AEE, ITEA-EAST, AUTOSAR and TIMMO-2-USE automotive industry-wide projects. He received a PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Nice in 1999.

This study is on the performance of AVB and TSN, the two prominent protocols considered for timing QoS on top of Ethernet. The performance evaluation also includes static-priority Ethernet, with and without frame preemption, as baseline protocols. TSN is studied both with and without the Credit-Based Shaper along with the Time-Aware Shaper (TAS).

The questions studied empirically on two automotive case-studies are what we can expect from AVB and TSN and how they do compare to the other candidate protocols. The metrics considered are the communication latencies and buffer occupancies.

Another contribution of the study is to highlight the issues faced in terms of configuring the networks and identify key problems that need to be solved in order to implement more automated network configuration.

Panel Discussion: On-going Activities in Industrial Consortia

16:30 - 17:15Host: Todd Walter, National Instruments

It will focus on fault recovery in low latency AVB systems running with small memory footprint and RTOS. It will touch upon customer specific requirements for such systems.

Nanoseconds in HW or Microseconds in SW, which is tougher?

11:00 - 11:30Tommy Cook, Calnex Solutions

Tommy Cook is the Founder and CEO of Calnex Solutions. He has over 35 years’ experience in the Telecoms Industry, primarily working in test and measurement. Tommy has participated in a number of Standards forums over his career to contribute to the specification of Frequency and Time transfer through networks.

In Telecomm, 5G is driving high accuracy needs, leading to discussion in the standards around higher accuracy specifications for PTP-aware network equipment. This will require designers to use hardware based techniques to achieve this accuracy, as well as network designers to revisit topographical constraints appropriate to deliver this accuracy.

Industrial and automotive networks might not need such high accuracies, but they do need deterministic latency. For example, if you are instructing a machine to do something, you need to know the time when it will be done, and not that it will be done sometime in the future. One possibility is to make the network time aware, allowing the routing of the network to be time-based.

So which is more challenging? This presentation will look at the challenges in both industry-driven environments and compare the difficulty in delivering the performance required.

Avnu has published a specification defining different methods for validating the 802.1AS clock accuracy on a slave device. The presentation will provide an introduction to the standards including new revisions, explain why measuring slave clock accuracy is critical, provide details of the methods above, discuss the advantages/disadvantages of each method, and recommend best practices.

Constrained Devices – Scaling Ethernet Technologies

Ethernet’s meteoric success has often left users of Ethernet technologies struggling to scale connectivity, performance, network management and security to new applications. The promised explosions of IoT, iIoT and Industry 4.0 threaten to dwarf this success and give rise to a host of new applications with extremely limited resources. Simple field devices, such as sensors and actuators, have long resisted incorporating Ethernet as a fieldbus interface. The reasons for this reluctance are plenty, but from a device integration viewpoint, the limiting factors have been the size, power, and cost of the Ethernet interface itself. Many advancements in communication technology have taken place over the past few years that have changed the landscape for Ethernet to address these limitations. This paper defines the concept of constrained devices and describes how this concept can be used to scale Ethernet communication to edge devices like sensors and actuators. The paper will also identify future directions that could enable brownfield installations to take advantage of emerging TSN technologies.

Technologies in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as collision avoidance, automatic parking, lane change notification and now fully autonomous vehicles, are rapidly evolving. Automotive systems must communicate with one another using deterministic real-time communications for such safety-critical applications. TSN with Ethernet enables such communications. Designers are learning that TSN is bringing Ethernet into an ever-increasing number of applications while taking into consideration stringent safety and reliability standards. To successfully deliver these systems, designers must understand current and emerging technologies that require TSN and how they will be used in the end system. Leveraging ISO 26262 certified Ethernet IP supporting the evolving IEEE standards becomes critical and mandatory. In this presentation, we will describe how SoC designers are meeting the requirements of their customers in the development of their next generation TSN-aware SoCs with certified Ethernet IP.

An ecosystem based on Open Standards, like those from 802.1 TSN, is well-served by Open Software and a health community of developers. The OpenAvnu Github project, sponsored by Avnu Alliance (a non-profit), has emerged as the focal point for contributions in the area of IEEE 802 TSN (and what was known as AVB) standards. But every successful Open Source requires a certain level of support and contribution from the companies participating in the industries it is intended to accelerate. In this talk we describe the current state of the OpenAvnu project at a high level, identify broad areas that would benefit from increased industry focus and contribution, and illustrate potential opportunities for OpenAvnu to even better address the need of Autonomous Driving (perhaps even meeting Functional Safety requirements), Industrial Control, ProAV, and other markets where deterministic time synchronization and timeliness requirements are foundational to market expansion.

He specializes in deterministic networking architectures and protocols and has previously worked with customers and experts in industries such as automotive and energy. He now focuses on industrial automation and the Internet of Things.

TSN is expected to provide convergence of real-time critical communication with regular Ethernet traffic on a single network. Ideally, such convergence can be realized without changing the network interfaces and configuration of the legacy devices. We show conceptual considerations, focusing on widely used industrial Ethernet protocols such as PROFINET and EtherCAT in combination with OPC UA Publish/Subscribe communication over TSN. We discuss limitations and boundary conditions that may influence system architecture decisions towards convergence or gateways and also provide insights on the expected benefits of migrating onto a Gigabit TSN infrastructure in such scenarios.

The goals of integration of TSN into PROFINET

PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET International) has worked out a set of requirements for the use of TSN in PROFINET. The main focus is to integrate the futureproof TSN technology in PROFINET products while taking advantage of the existing knowledge. Services such as diagnosis, parameterization, etc. should be identical as in the current environment. Network configuration should also be performed in the familiar way to support an easy usage. PI relies on the development of standard Ethernet so manufactures can use a broad selection of Ethernet chips for PROFINET interfaces and users benefit from further developments such as gigabit.

TSN – Potentials and challenges for the use in Industrial Automation

12:00 - 12:30Peter Zahn, University of Stuttgart

Dipl.-Ing. Peter Zahn studied at the University of Stuttgart in the field of automation technology. Since May 2012 he is employed at the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units (ISW) at the University of Stuttgart, since 2014 as team leader for the fields of drive and control engineering and also mechanical engineering.

Although there is a broad commitment to TSN and OPC UA as the future communication standard in the context of Industry 4.0 applications, there are many challenging questions left open. While the performance in principle covers typical needs, industrial automation additionally has its very specific requirement such as a wide scalability while maintaining constant real-time performance. Also, there is the need for concepts to abstract network specific configuration for automation entities and providing migration strategies for existing plants. This presentation analyses the current situation in a research perspective regarding potentials but also challenges and shows exemplary approaches to cope with these. To ensure industrial applicability, an industrial working group was initiated to bring together the needs of technology users and providers. First results from this cooperation supporting the above mentioned analysis will be presented in addition.

TSN – Deployment in modular and reconfigurable Industry 4.0 environments

André Hennecke studied mechanical engineering with computer science at the University of Kaiserslautern and is working as a research engineer and project leader at the Technology-Initiative SmartFactoryKL and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, where he is leading the working group for automation and communication.

Enable interoperability on different levels and different domains is one of the key tasks which must be solved to realize modular and fully digitalized factories with zero configuration effort. The IEEE Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards can form the base for a unified Industry 4.0 communication stack. But the effort in engineering TSN-Networks can be very high which is not reasonable in a flexible Plug & Play environment. Centralized configuration approaches adapted from the concept of Software Defined Networking (SDN) can help in overcome this issue to be able to deploy a TSN based communication stack into a module factory, like the one in the SmartFactoryKL.

Ethernet Traffic Classes to Support In-Vehicle Automotive Networking

Gordon Bechtel is currently the principle consultant and founder of Bechtech, providing consulting, architectural and project management services on Ethernet AVB and TSN technologies. Prior to founding BechTech, Gordon built and directed Harman Connected Services (HCS) Ethernet AVB business. He participates actively in the IEEE 802 and 1722 standards groups.

New automotive systems require a variety of deterministic, bounded latency transport mechanisms. This paper gives an overview of several Ethernet traffic classes that support automotive needs.

The dominant Ethernet traffic class in use today uses the credit based shaper. This shaper supports audio and video streams by providing an extremely smooth flow of packets according to each stream’s a-priori reservation.

The time aware shaper (TAS) is a newer shaper that is well suited to traffic that must be sent and delivered at an exact time, such as in a vehicle control system. Precisely timed delivery of data, however, comes at the cost of complex traffic engineering and difficult implementation.

The newest shaper is the asynchronous traffic shaper (ATS). This shaper achieves low and bounded delays through use of prioritized token-bucket based re-shaping at each hop, while eliminating traffic engineering complexities.
