Time-Sensitive Networking: Hype vs. Reality
July 31, 2019
insight.tech
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is an emerging Ethernet standard being developed for industrial control—and some tout it as the ultimate network solution. Others take a more measured approach.

ISW uses INtime services for TSN investigation
November 21, 2018
TenAsys, with a long-standing commitment to servicing real-time Ethernet needs, is continuing our partnership with ISW for the investigation of ideal INtime services for TSN. These services map into OPC-UA needs and capabilities for the purposes of the critical, real-time Ethernet requirements to actively take full advantage of TSN enabled networks.
Ratification of the Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards are rapidly approaching.
February 19, 2018
TenAsys has maintained the best tools and technology to adapt standard PC and Ethernet devices in realizing high performance protocols for use in complex motion and industrial applications. The Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units (ISW) of Stuttgart has used INtime for Windows as the base platform for the study and development of TSN for automation. Their TSN for Automation industry workgroup has prototyped numerous subsets of the overall TSN initiative which demonstrate the ability of a tightly managed IT network of TSN enabled switches effortlessly pass mission critical prioritized streams even when the network is driven to saturated levels of utilization.
TenAsys partnerships bring real-time solutions
February 19, 2018
COPA-DATA, koenig-pa GmbH (KPA) and TenAsys® Corporation have joined their expertise to provide a complete Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Reference Platform for customers who wish to develop high-performance EtherCAT® and motion controllers while making use of PLCopen function blocks for motion programming.
How do the “Meltdown” and “Spectre” security exploits affect TenAsys products?
January 12, 2018
Because of the announcement of the Meltdown and Spectre security exploits by Google Project Zero, TenAsys has analyzed its products to determine what changes might be required to the products, and what effect the Microsoft Windows security patches have on the INtime for Windows product.
TenAsys determined that no update to its real-time kernel and software is required. This applies to the current releases as well as previous versions of the product.
According to Microsoft, the patches were expected to influence the performance of Windows because of increased system call times and other factors. TenAsys has performed validation and measurement of the patch to determine the effects on TenAsys products.
Installation of the patch does not affect the operation of TenAsys products on Windows in any major way. Measurements show a decrease in performance of TenAsys Windows services in line with expectations set by Microsoft.

Design for Real-Time Control: Embedded Computing on Multicore Processors
Machine Design
Modern multicore processors use special operating systems called hypervisors that simplify the task of writing software that may run on multiple computing machines. Here are the basics of this “virtualization” that apply when creating programs for machine control.
Q&A with TenAsys on Embedded Virtualization and Microsoft Windows
Electronic Design
Embedded virtualization is the key to unlocking the benefits of PCs as multifunction computing platforms, while preserving determinism for real-time and I/O-intensive functions.
Software CNC Combines Diverse Processing Workloads
Plant Engineering
By combining processing workloads and taking advantage of the standard PC platform architecture and embedded virtualization, CNC software allows operators to create programs, consider the status of the controlled machine and real tool size, improve the machining by making small or large changes in trajectory or processing parameters, and immediately check the result.
Embedded Virtualization Clears a Path to PC-Based Machines
Machine Design
The PC architecture is emerging as a leading computing platform for integrating all computing elements of a typical factory workcell. However, fulfilling this role effectively requires special operating software.

INtime for Windows demo in AAEON booth at SPS IPC Drives 2017
Together with CNC kernel specialist ISG from Stuttgart we featured a further demonstration of a complete industrial machine controller at the booth of our partner AAEON at SPS IPC Drives 2017.
Making use of AAEON’s very compact and fanless Boxer IPC 6404M we demonstrated what today’s Intel Atom based multicore PCs can drive for the industry. This PC features four cores which are very applicable as a basis for multiple, diverse “workloads” running under the INtime for Windows RTOS.
This Boxer system is setup with INtime to host control stacks consisting of ISG CNC kernel, an EtherCAT master and a simulation engine. On the Windows side there is a simplified graphical G-Code programming interface from ISG as well as a 3D machine simulation by ISG’s virtuos.
