Streams for Time Sensitive Data in Industry

RT-Streams:
- time sensitive Data
- periodic transmission

Guaranteed QoS for RT-Streams along the end-to-end path:

- guaranteed low latency (low delay variation / jitter)
- guaranteed ressources (no packet loss)
- guaranteed bandwidth (throughput)
- deterministic behaviour in case of high network load

 Application Model in Industy (1)

The application model for RT-Streams in industry is different

from the application model used for AV-Streams.

Closed Loop application (real procecss, control application and communication)

Dead time shall be kept small to get short reaction time

Page 6 18. Mai 2009

 Application Model in Industy (2)

Control applications are synchroniced

Minimized jitter for communication and application

No buffering for RT-Data (just in time)

Consistent process image is required

Typical Topology for Bridged LANs in Industry

Core

Distribution
+ Access

Linear Topology (Line, Ring)

Applications mostly feature distributed linear dimension, i.e. production lines

The network is tailored to the application, i.e. line topologies

To reduce total cost, 2-port-bridges are integrated into the end stations

For enhanced availability, lines are closed to rings

Homogeneous segments (100MBit or GBit)

Requirements for RT Streams

Low Latency for RT Streams

- RT-Low Streams: Latency < 1ms over 32 hops, data < 300 Bytes
- RT-High Streams: Latency < 125µs over 16 hops, data < 100 Bytes
(-> avoid interference Best Effort Traffic with RT Traffic)

Transmission Period for RT Streams

- RT-Low Streams: 500µs .. 4ms
- RT-High Streams: 125µs .. 1ms

Synchronization
- End point time synchronization accuracy over 64 hops < 1µs

 Requirements for RT Streams

Routing for AV and RT Steams

- No loss of AV and RT Streams caused by RSTP during network reconfiguration
- Shortest Path for RT Streams (low latency)
-> do not use learning mechansim for RT Streams

Redundancy
- Alternate path for RT Streams (i.e. in ring topology)

 Open Issues

AVB and 802.1 includes mechanism to control AV Streams.

Simular mechansim may be used for RT-Streams.

Include extensions for stream handling to reduce latency?

Can we describe the extensions in an industrial profile?

How to proceed for industrial profile?
