Team Lead; Software Developer at Provider of industrial control systems for manufacturing and digital transformation
Industrial Communication | Proof of Concept: Controller-to-Controller Communication with OPC UA FX
Proof of Concept for OPC UA FX-based controller-to-controller communication between virtual programmable logic controllers (vPLC) on an industrial edge platform. A virtual test environment was set up on Debian Linux in two phases (including VMs and vPLCs), shared-memory communication (real-time information bus) was activated, and the RIB solution was integrated into a customized product firmware (including shared memory and PROFINET support) and deployed in containerized environments (Docker). Additionally, a virtual Ethernet connection was developed to simulate the network topology. Finally, commissioning, functional tests, sample application creation, comprehensive documentation, and customer support were completed.

About the technology
Deterministic Ethernet
Time-Sensitive Networking, usually called TSN, extends standard Ethernet with mechanisms for predictable delivery, bounded latency and precise clock synchronization. It supports traffic that must arrive within defined timing limits alongside regular data on the same network.
Industrial Applications
TSN is used where communication timing affects safety, quality or machine performance. Typical projects include:
- Motion control and factory automation
- Robotics and machine vision
- Automotive in-vehicle networks
- Power, transport and medical systems
Standards And Tools
TSN work spans IEEE 802.1 standards, industrial profiles and vendor-specific implementations. Specialists work with time-aware scheduling, traffic shaping, frame replication, synchronization protocols, managed switches, network controllers and packet-analysis tools. They may also connect TSN segments with OPC UA, PROFINET or other automation technologies.
When Expertise Matters
Companies bring in freelance TSN expertise when ordinary Ethernet cannot provide reliable timing or when a proof of concept must become a production network. Support is valuable during architecture decisions, equipment selection, interoperability testing, migration from fieldbuses and commissioning. In Germany, this often involves close coordination with manufacturing, automotive and industrial automation teams.
Project Deliverables
A TSN professional can define traffic classes, timing budgets and redundancy concepts, then configure switches and endpoints to match them. Deliverables may include network designs, device configurations, simulation results, test plans, diagnostic procedures and documentation for operations teams. Strong specialists also validate behavior under congestion and failure conditions.
Strong Specialists
The best professionals combine networking knowledge with embedded systems, real-time software and industrial control experience. They understand both the standard and the practical limits of hardware, firmware and vendor profiles. Look for clear reasoning about latency, synchronization, availability and observability, plus a disciplined approach to lab testing and remote collaboration. On-site work in Germany may be useful for commissioning, while design and analysis can often happen remotely.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about TSN — answered in short.
Time-Sensitive Networking is used to carry time-critical and ordinary Ethernet traffic over a shared network with predictable timing. It is common in factory automation, robotics, automotive systems, energy infrastructure and other environments where delay or jitter can affect operation.
TSN adds deterministic scheduling, clock synchronization and traffic-management mechanisms to Ethernet. Conventional industrial Ethernet may provide strong performance, but TSN is designed to make timing behavior more predictable across shared network infrastructure.
A strong TSN specialist often works with embedded Linux, real-time operating systems, network switch configuration and packet analysis. Experience with OPC UA, PROFINET, EtherCAT, automotive Ethernet, control systems or FPGA-based devices can also be valuable, depending on the project.
The required depth depends on the task. A Time-Sensitive Networking proof of concept may need someone who can configure devices and measure timing, while a production deployment calls for deeper knowledge of profiles, interoperability, redundancy, safety constraints and lifecycle support.
Many TSN activities, including architecture, simulation, configuration review and trace analysis, can be completed remotely. Hardware bring-up, interoperability testing and factory commissioning may require on-site work in Germany, so the project plan should define when physical access is essential.
Ask a TSN professional to explain how they would define traffic classes, synchronize devices, set timing requirements and test behavior under congestion. Strong answers connect standard mechanisms to real hardware, measurable acceptance criteria and a practical fault-diagnosis plan.
IEEE TSN projects can involve managed switches, endpoint hardware, network controllers, traffic generators and packet-capture tools. The exact stack depends on the selected industrial or automotive profile, vendor implementation, operating system and integration with control software.
Before starting a TSN assignment, clarify the required latency, jitter, synchronization accuracy, redundancy behavior and supported device profiles. Freelancers should also confirm access to hardware, test environments, vendor documentation and the language expectations for collaboration with local teams in Germany.
