Secure time-sensitive communications for IIoT

NXP has announced its integrated Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) solutions for industrial automation that now support the CC-Link IE TSN protocol, combining gigabit Ethernet bandwidth with TSN to strengthen time sharing communication, performance, security and functionality for industrial Ethernet.

With CC-Link IE TSN certified support on NXP’s LS1028A industrial applications processor as well as i.MX RT1170 crossover MCU under certification, NXP is addressing communications for cyber-connected factories in Industry 4.0.

Delivering a full TSN solution from the device to the switch for CC-Link IE TSN networks, NXP makes it possible to help consolidate and unify Ethernet protocols to achieve interoperability between a wide variety of industrial networks as part of moving to IIoT.

NXP collaborated with port industrial automation GmbH to enable the full CC Link IE TSN Layer 2 communication stack on the LS1028A and i.MX RT1170 crossover MCU.

Combined, NXP offers scalable solutions for real-time control powered by the i.MX RT1170 and high performance control using the LS1028A.

Factory automation applications like motion control, robotics, machine vision, machine learning and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are some of the many smart applications enabled by NXP’s TSN solutions.
