ABSTRACT
We currently experience a major evolution step in the connectivity space, a step which will have substantial impact on the future industrial communication networks. New services will become affordable, new solutions will be possible, but there are also new challenges ahead. Previously, the take up of both IP/Ethernet and IEEE 802.15.4 in the industrial domains, gave a similar boost into the industrial communication. And well before that, the serial fieldbuses made their entrance into industrial systems, and these installations are to a large extent still in use. The ongoing development of Ethernet TSN (Time Sensitive Networks) and 5G (the next generation telecommunication standard), supported by technologies like AI (Artificial Intelligence) will be the third major evolution phase for industrial communication, and it will highly impact the future industrial communication the next years to come. In this talk I will analyze the applications that can make benefit of TSN and 5G, and what the main challenges are to reach them. The talk will also address what we should learn from the two previous evolution phases and how that will influence the future connectivity research and development. Additionally, the traditional industries no longer develop everything on their own as they used to do, the development speed and business climate instead emphasize collaborations with partners, academia and startup companies. Some examples on how this can be accomplished will also be presented.

Time-sensitive networking over metropolitan area networks for remote industrial control
DS-RT '21: Proceedings of the 2021 IEEE/ACM 25th International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real Time ApplicationsThe benefits of the currently evolving IEEE Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standard have already been globally recognized. Whereas the application of TSN in a LAN is currently widely and globally tested, TSN in a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) has not ...
Performance Analysis and Evaluation of Industrial Ethernet
ICECE '10: Proceedings of the 2010 International Conference on Electrical and Control EngineeringBecause of a wide range of Industrial Ethernet and the great difference between them, it is a difficult problem to select which one is proper when designing an automation system. The huge advantages of Industrial Ethernet are discussed, so are the ...
Analysis of PROFINET IO Communication Protocol
IMCCC '14: Proceedings of the 2014 Fourth International Conference on Instrumentation and Measurement, Computer, Communication and ControlThe field bus systems have been applied to the industrial automation. PROFINET is an optimized industrial network standard. It provides the service definition and protocols for real-time communication based on Ethernet. The basic characteristics and ...
