Will contribute to smart factory construction by realizing e-F@ctory
solution with TSN technology
Mitsubishi
Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced today that it will
launch factory automation products, such as programmable controllers,
industrial PCs, servo amplifiers, GOT human-machine interfaces,
inverters, and robots that are compatible with CC-Link IE TSN, the
world’s first industrial open network to utilize time sensitive
networking (TSN)* technology. CC-Link IE TSN supports TSN technology
that ensures real-time control communication on the manufacturing
communications layer, even when integrated with the upper level IT
system and mixed with other open networks. The launch of these new
product will further enhance the integrated factory automation solution e-F@ctory**
by utilizing Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and
edge-computing, accelerating the realization of a smart factory solution.
*
Enhanced version of standard Ethernet that realizes mixing of
different protocols using the time sharing method.
**
Integrated factory automation solution using a combination of
factory automation and IT technologies, offering solutions to reduce
the total cost of development, production, and maintenance.
Main Features
1)Factory automation with TSN technology realizes
flexible IIoT system architecture
Utilizing TSN technology enables integration of machine control and
information communications on one Ethernet cable, allowing a flexible
system configuration using standard Ethernet devices. TSN enables
deterministic messaging of control communication requiring real-time
control while performing information communication using general
Ethernet, easily realizing large-scale industrial network systems.
