Overview
Time-Sensitive Networking has come out as the definite solution for covering the needs of sectors such as automotive, aerospace, railway, industrial automation, etc.
However, due to the complexity of TSN networks, it is essential to be able to analyse the network communications at the frame level for protocol validation, performance analysis, conformance testing, and forensic purposes. Furthermore, the validity of this analysis will be constrained by the capability of the infrastructure to correlate the frames with a common time reference.
For that purpose, SOC-E has developed RELY-TSN-REC, a device that can inspect, timestamp, and record regular Ethernet and Time-Sensitive Networking traffic, using the same IEEE 802.1AS timing reference as the other equipment in the network under analysis.
