Moxa’s TSN ethernet switches obtain the world’s first TSN component certification

Moxa has announced a groundbreaking milestone in obtaining the world’s first TSN Component Certification from Avnu Alliance for components used in its TSN-G5000 Series industrial Ethernet switches. Moxa’s TSN-powered switches enable users to design interoperable, deterministic, reliable end-to-end communications to achieve time-sensitive networking (TSN) for critical industrial applications without the limitations of proprietary systems.
“The Component Certification Program is the first of its kind to certify TSN capabilities and serves as the industry platform for verifying conformance and cross-vendor interoperability of TSN components,” said Dave Cavalcanti, President of Avnu Alliance. “Moxa’s expertise and experience in industrial Ethernet and networking, as well as the global TSN standardisation projects, brings crucial advancement to the program and improves deterministic and reliable end-to-end networking over TSN for various industrial applications across vertical markets.”
As an industry forum for integrating deterministic capabilities into open, standards-based networking, the Avnu Alliance Component Certification Program focuses on core TSN standards, including timing and synchronisation (802.1AS) and enhancements for scheduled traffic (802.1Qbv). Manufacturers from different markets can now verify the compliance of their components with the core TSN standards, resulting in improved interoperability and easier integration with other systems.
Leveraging its expertise in bridging the gap between standard Ethernet and industrial applications, Moxa supports the Component Certification Program by providing testing products and completing test cases for network devices such as Ethernet switches, to help develop the program. Moxa’s experience with worldwide TSN projects such as the IEC/IEEE 60802 TSN profile for industrial automation and the IEEE 802.1 TSN Task Group, also played a crucial role in translating IEEE SA 802.1 TSN standards into test specifications. Moxa’s contributions helped ensure that these component-level TSN technologies can be widely and effectively adopted across different markets around the world.
Moxa’s TSN Ethernet switches with Avnu-certified components have been deployed in success cases all around the world. Featuring a compact design and user-friendly interface, these Ethernet switches are ideal for a variety of applications such as factory automation, dynamic mass customisation, hydropower plants, and CNC machines. The TSN-G5000 Series not only helps customers reduce production times and increase efficiency, but also showcases the tangible benefits of TSN in real-world industrial applications, accelerating the digital transformation across various sectors.
Through the TSN Component Certification Program, Moxa believes that its commitment to advancing TSN technologies will continue to set new industry benchmarks and drive innovations to meet the ever-changing needs of industrial automation.
