Ethernet has been equally established as a dependable solution in both computer and automation networks. Ethernet was, however, not originally designed to meet the requirements posed by automation technology, particularly in regards to guaranteed and real-time communication. Therefore, various real time capable but proprietary bus systems in automation have evolved. Such networks handling time-critical data traffic are today separated from networks directing less-critical data traffic. In the future, Industry 4.0 applications will require increasingly more converged Ethernet networks.  Such networks can only be produced at great cost with the traditional structure. Ethernet TSN provides a solution aiming to change these current conditions.“
