Industrial TSN router
Client
Engineering and manufacturing company with a head office in western Europe that is focused on R&D in NTP time servers, M2M wireless communication and telemetry.
Challenge
The customer turned to us for the design of an industrial TSN router. Our engineering team took on the design of hardware and PCB 3D models for a new enclosure, as well as the bring-up of Linux OS.
Solution
We helped our client design the time-sensitive network router for industrial applications with the following features:
- NXP LS1028A CPU with 2 TSN-capable Ethernet controllers
- IEEE1588 support
- 4 x Ethernet 1G switch ports (TSN-enabled)
- SFP ports, USB 3.0 Type-A, Mini PCIe for LoRA, RS-485 + RS-232
- Ethernet 1G WAN port + PoE PD
- CAN + MBUS
- 2 х DI, 2х DO + AI + AO
Business value
Our customer received the necessary building blocks for his future product: a ready-made hardware platform with an operating system installed. The PCB was designed with the enclosure parameters in mind. We also got involved in the pre-production phase to ensure our DFM principle (design for manufacture).
