Visit Booth# 121824 to Explore Renesas’
Industrial Network Solutions for Time-Sensitive Networking,
Security, and Synchronized Distributed Motion at the Endpoint
Renesas Electronics Corporation, a premier supplier of advanced
semiconductor solutions, will showcase its embedded innovation for
the connected factory and Industrial IoT (IIoT) environments at the
2018 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), which
takes place September 10-15 at McCormick Place in Chicago,
Illinois.
During IMTS, Renesas will demonstrate several high-performance
connected solutions featuring its RZ/N1 group of microprocessors
(MPUs) and ICs for EtherCAT®,
highlighting ways to increase efficiency, automation and security
in industrial networking environments.
Technology Demonstrations
- Renesas RZ/N1
Time Sensitive Networking (TSN)TSN is the
next-generation IEEE 802.1 deterministic Ethernet standard for the
IIoT that will unify the various fieldbuses into a single network
infrastructure. This TSN demonstration highlights the RZ/N1 MPU as
a TSN endpoint with time-synchronized communication that bridges
the IT and OT domains and acts as a “gateway” that supports the TSN
features of robustness, redundancy, and real-time operation
required in the manufacturing (OT) domain, yet is compatible with
IT bandwidth requirements.
- Network
Security for EndpointsEthernet and IP protocols provide
visibility to the outside world, enabling remote monitoring and
time-based analytics, and improving overall efficiencies for
connected factories, while also creating new security challenges.
One solution: Design in security at the endpoint and network
devices – typically resource-constrained embedded devices – rather
than adding layers of IT-level network security. Renesas will
demonstrate the design-in approach leveraging the RZ/N1 MPU with a
network security framework that integrates an industrial-grade
firewall and TLS, together with intrusion detection components to
detect, report, and act on anomalous network traffic.
- Distributed
Motion with Renesas EC-1 EtherCAT ASSPOne of the leading
Industrial Ethernet protocols for automation applications, EtherCAT
requires data cycle times as low as ≤ 100 µs, and low communication
jitter. This demo highlights the high-performance capabilities of
EtherCAT, with a distributed EtherCAT network and Renesas EtherCAT
slave devices driving motors/discs spinning in tight synchronicity,
while exploring the cost benefits of combining the EtherCAT slave
controller and a real-time processor.
- Real-time
Industrial IoT GatewayTypical IIoT systems use IT-based
gateways, which aggregate data from multiple systems and provide a
cloud interface for trend analytics or remote monitoring but lack
the granularity of real-time network data in the OT domain. The
Renesas RZ/N1 enables an exchange of data between the two domains,
partitioning between leading industrial networks for control, such
as EtherCAT, Profinet, Ethernet/IP or even OPC UA, and
cloud/on-premise platforms for deeper analytics. At IMTS, Renesas
will highlight the RZ/N1 to demonstrate a secure, real-time,
end-to-end gateway solution communicating as an OPC UA server that
can be connected to any OPC UA client or to a cloud interface,
extending the IT definition of the “edge” of the network down to
the real-time domain of the machine itself.
