德国汉诺威 - 2022 年 5 月 30 日：Avnu 联盟、CC-Link 协会、ODVA、OPC 基金会和PROFIBUS & PROFINET 国际组织共同宣布正在合作制定一个用于工业自动化的 IEEE/IEC 60802时间敏感网络(TSN)规范的唯一一致性测试方案。该测试方案将成为所有参与组织的测试基础内容，同时也会被提供给更广泛的工业自动化生态圈。这项合作有助于提高用户的信心，即来自不同制造商、且支持不同自动化网络协议的 60802(即 TSN)兼容设备可以在 TSN 层级的链路中有效共存，包括与非工业自动化领域基于 TSN 技术的设备共存。
合作的重点是，为工业自动化市场共同努力制定一个达成共识、且共同拥有的测试方案。此次合作方式并非重新建立一个独立的组织，而是构建了一种开放式的工作架构，让所有参与的组织可以在协同工作同时交流想法，以实现所有网络协议在开放的、标准的网络种实现互操作性和共存的最终目标。为方便起见，此项合作将被称为“TIACC”(TSN 工业自动化一致性合作)。
TIACC标志着这些组织致力于创建不同制造商设备的互操作生态系统，以符合 IEC/IEEE标准协会 60802 规范，并使最终用户能够在此开放式标准网络中自由部署其设备。此次合作的目标是，在 IEC/IEEE 60802 规范文件发布后，共同制定的测试方案成为唯一的关于通用测试规范的最终版本。
Avnu联盟总裁 Greg Schlechter 说：“Avnu的目的和使命是改造标准网络，使其能够以开放、可互操作的方式支持多种基于时间敏感的应用程序和协议。这样的组织间合作对于 IEEE 60802 促进不同的工作负载和协议在同一链路上共存至关重要，同时利用跨行业使用的基础网络的互操作性，将是至关重要的。我们致力于与各行业合作，建立一个可互操作的设备生态系统，并使最终用户能够在此开放式标准网络中自由部署其设备。”
CLPA(CC-Link 协会)全球事务局长 Manabu Hamaguchi 说：“未来互联产业的创建，需要实现必要的过程透明，所以需要各种不同的系统和设备间进行通信。这是 CLPA 的一个核心原则，也是该组织成立的根本原因。这就是为什么我们很高兴成为 TIACC 的一部分，并期待支持为 TSN用于工业自动化 IEC/IEEE 60802 TS 总则的单一通用一致性测试计划 第 2 页 兼容产品创建一个统一、通用的测试方案。通过这些工作，我们可以进一步推动采用先进性的技术实现智能制造。”
ODVA 总裁兼执行总监 Al Beydoun 博士说：“EtherNet/IP 用户将能够利用 60802 TSN 的优势，增强网络性能、提高利用率，并保证对具有不同优先级的多个时间关键型应用程序的网络访问。ODVA参与TIACC将确保最终用户充分实现60802 TSN共存的潜力，推动实现工业4.0和IIoT。”OPC 基金会主席兼执行总监 Stefan Hoppe 说：“OPC UA 是一个安全的、独立于供应商的通信解决方案，可以完全从现场扩展到云端，并提供语义互操作性。其它底层 IT 基础设施，如Ethernet TSN 和 IEC/IEEE 60802 TSN Profile for Industrial Automation，进一步开辟了市场应用。我们相信这种一致性协作是对与其他 SDO 协作准备并向行业提供精简有效的一致性测试与认证的一个重要贡献。”
PROFIBUS 和 PROFINET 国际组织(PI)主席 Karsten Schneider 说：“PI 对待一致性测试是非常认真的。我们相信，严格的测试可以确保跨厂商的互操作性。这就是为什么近年来我们在测
试系统上投入了巨大的努力。通过这一联合行动，我们正在向利用 TSN 的融合网络迈出下一步，使我们的用户对 PROFINET 的未来充满信心。这次协作是数字化转型道路上的一个巨大里程碑。”

SINGLE COMMON CONFORMANCE TEST PLAN TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THE IEC/IEEE 60802 TSN PROFILE FOR INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Hanover, Germany – May 30, 2022: the Avnu Alliance, CC-Link Partner Association, ODVA, OPC Foundation, and PROFIBUS & PROFINET International jointly announce that they are collaborating to develop a single conformance test plan for the IEEE/IEC 60802 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) profile for Industrial Automation. The test plan will be used as a base test by all the participating organizations and made available to the broader Industrial Automation ecosystem. This collaboration contributes towards end user confidence that 60802 conformant devices from different manufacturers which support different automation protocols will coexist reliably at the TSN level on shared networks, including with devices using TSN for applications other than automation.
The focus of the collaboration is to work together towards a jointly agreed and owned test planfor the industrial automation market. This formal collaboration provides value by creating a structure in which all these organizations can work together and exchange ideas towards the end goal of interoperability and coexistence on open, standard networks for all protocols,without needing to establish a separate, formal organization. For convenience, the collaboration activities will be referred to as “TIACC” (TSN Industrial Automation Conformance Collaboration).
The TIACC marks a commitment by these organizations to develop an interoperable ecosystem of devices from different manufacturers to comply with the IEC/IEEE Standards Association 60802 profile and enable end-users to confidently deploy these devices on open, standard networks. The goal is to have the final version of the single, shared test plan available soonafter the IEC/IEEE 60802 profile is published.
“Avnu’s purpose and mission is to transform standard networks to enable support for many time sensitive applications and protocols in an open, interoperable manner. This collaboration among organizations will be critically important to facilitating coexistence of multiple workloads and protocols according to IEEE 60802 on a network, while leveraging foundational network interoperability that is used across industries,” said Greg Schlechter, Avnu Alliance President.“We are committed to working with the industries to enable an interoperable ecosystem of devices that allow end users to confidently deploy on open, standard, and converged networks.”
“The creation of the Connected Industries of the future requires different systems and devices to communicate in order to deliver the necessary process transparency required. This is a core principle for the CLPA and is at the root of why the organization was founded. This is why we are delighted to be part of the TIACC and look forward to supporting the creation of a unified,common test plan for TSN-compatible products. By doing so, we can help further boost the adoption of futureproof technologies for smart manufacturing,” said Manabu Hamaguchi, Global Director at CLPA.
“EtherNet/IP users will be able to take advantage of the benefits afforded by 60802 TSN of enhanced network performance, higher utilization, and guaranteed network access for multiple time-critical applications with different priorities. ODVA’s participation in TIACC will ensure that the full potential of 60802 TSN coexistence is realized by end users to help make Industry 4.0 and IIoT a reality,” said Dr. Al Beydoun, President and Executive Director at ODVA.
“OPC UA is a secure, vendor-independent communication solution that fully scales from the field to the cloud and offers semantic interoperability. Other underlying IT infrastructure such as Ethernet TSN and the IEC/IEEE 60802 TSN Profile for Industrial Automation open up further applications for the market. We believe this conformance collaboration is an important contribution to preparing and delivering streamlined and effective conformance testing and certification to the industry in collaboration with other SDOs,” said Stefan Hoppe, President and Executive Director of the OPC Foundation.
“At PI we are taking conformance testing very seriously. It’s our belief, that thought-out testing ensures cross-vendor interoperability. That’s why we invested huge efforts in our test system in recent years. With this joint initiative we are taking the next step towards converged networks utilizing TSN, giving our users the confidence in the future-readiness of PROFINET. This collaboration is a huge milestone on the way of the digital transformation,” said Karsten Schneider, Chairperson of PROFIBUS and PROFINET International (PI).
