Solution

Use CC-Link IE TSN for highly precise time synchronization and make analysis based on accurate time-series data.

Accurate timestamp information and improvement in the accuracy of analysis

  • By using the time synchronization protocol prescribed by TSN, time lags between devices supported by CC-Link IE TSN are corrected to achieve highly precise time synchronization. The time information of each master and device is synchronized to the microsecond. So if a failure was to occur in the network, an accurate sequence of events leading up to the failure can be traced when analyzing the operation.
  • IT systems can receive shop floor information with more accurate timestamps. This improves the performance of data analysis applications that use AI, and the accuracy of the functions they provide such as predictive maintenance.
