Time-Sensitive Networking, Synchronization, and Sensors
What you'll learn:
- What role does TSN play in industrial networks?
- Technical or organizational hurdles when advocating TSN.
Sensor data provides key feedback for industrial control, and part of that information is the time it's obtained. Industrial subsystems are distributed, so communication between these subsystems needs to preserve this information and deliver it in a timely fashion. This is where time-sensitive networking (TSN) comes into play.
In this episode of Inside Electronics, I talk with Mark Geisler, Marketing Manager at Analog Devices, about the future of TSN in plug-and-play industrial networks. We also delve into the technical and organizational challenges faced by engineers when incorporating TSN into their systems.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.
I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
