“…Moreover, it is not clear how the recently connected slave and network master know about the application logic and to which other slaves the data should be sent after connection. The approach presented in [5] proposes a Plug-and-Play solution for Profinet based on Device Profile for Web Services (DPWS) [6] and further in [7] based on OPC Unified Architecture [8]. These proposals also suffer from the generalizability issue and are not applicable for TSN.…”

Abstract-Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards aim to support hard real-time communication with minimum latency based on Ethernet technology. They can also support the automotive domain considering upcoming and challenging application requirements in intelligent vehicles of the future. Despite all advantages, Time-Aware Shaper (TAS), a significant feature of TSN, increases the network configuration overhead. This configuration is required to guarantee deterministic network behavior. In this paper, an ontology-based approach is presented that extends TSN capabilities regarding Plug-and-Play and automatic network configuration. The developed ontology meta-models can be used by automotive experts (e.g. network designers or engineers) to design a concrete in-vehicle network based on TSN including knowledge that is required for automatic configuration.

“…Another important aspect of self-configuration is the automatic configuration of real-time communication networks which usually require numerous manual configuration steps. A promising approach is presented in [29,30] based on Profinet and in [31] based on Powerlink. Both works divide the configuration in different steps and have in common that they need an ad hoc channel for the configuration.…”

“…As soon as the intelligent node is physically connected to the network, the ad hoc channel is automatically established and can be used to exchange configuration data during the bootstrapping phase of the intelligent node. The ad hoc channel is essential for the self-configuration of the communication, because the performed self-configuration procedures mainly rely on it [30]. Moreover, depending on the requirements of the application, the connectivity layer is able to offer various communication technologies ranging from deterministic wired hard real-time communication systems with cycle times <1 ms to wireless technologies providing only soft real-time guarantees.…”

“…The Device Profile for Web Services [11] was developed as an SOA implementation specialized in embedded systems. However, as discussed in [12], DPWS is distinguished by a noticeable protocol overhead and a large memory requirement. In contrast, the authors showed that the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) [13] can be scaled down so that it can be implemented on very resource constrained devices.…”

According to the vision of the Internet of Things the seamless and flexible networking of everyday objects will become an important field of application for Internet-based communication. The simple integration of these devices into a communication system often requires wireless technologies, especially when there is no wired infrastructure available. Cellular networks of the third and fourth generation are promising enablers for embedding a variety of different devices into the Internet of Things. However, cellular networks use a completely different approach for data transmission and media access than wired networks like Ethernet. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the transmission behavior of common protocols for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication with respect to the peculiarities of cellular networks. In this paper, three M2M protocols – CoAP, MQTT and OPC UA – are compared to each other with regard to their transport mechanisms to evaluate the transmission times and analyzing potentials for optimization. For the evaluation a laboratory test environment with cellular network emulators for EDGE, UMTS and LTE is used to analyze the protocols without interference of delays caused by the Internet or by other users allocating resources of the cellular network
