B&R Automation has joined the OPC UA TSN testbed of Chinese network equipment vendor Huawei. The Austrian automation specialist is now participating in all three of the world’s most significant platforms for practical testing of the new communication technology.
The two other testbeds are those organised by the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) in the USA and Labs Network Industrie 4.0 (LNI) in Europe.
“Huawei’s testbed gives us the opportunity to advance the standardisation of OPC UA TSN in Asia,” explained B&R Marketing Manager Stefan Schönegger.
