Platform of Industrial Network System Perception and Control

Industrial Internet is a product of the deep integration of new-generation information and communication technology and modern industrial technology, serving as an engine for new-type industrialization and new-quality productive forces. With the goal of "efficient collaboration of field-level industrial heterogeneous networks", this platform has successfully developed Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology and its core equipment supporting large-scale data interaction based on domestic CPUs and independently customized operating systems, including self-controlled high-end industrial Internet of Things gateways, testbeds, and related industrial software. It has broken through a series of key technical bottlenecks, including a cycle time of less than 10μs (approaching the theoretical limit), jitter below 500ns, and scheduling of over a thousand flows at the ten-millisecond level, reaching an international leading level. It is the only gateway device selected in the first batch of TSN industry chain directories in China. A TSN testbed with the largest number of nodes in China has been built, supporting heterogeneous traffic simulation, device protocol consistency, and key performance testing. A complete set of software such as an efficient and scalable integrated engine for network scheduling and configuration has been successfully developed, enabling efficient and convenient automatic configuration generation and on-demand customized configuration operation deployment. Related achievements have been verified in more than 10 enterprises such as COMAC, SUPCON, CRRC, and Liuzhou Iron and Steel, and are providing key technical support for the development of major equipment such as software-defined satellites and automated testing for the final assembly of large aircraft.
