Siemens announces support for OPC UA with TSN networks
西门子宣布支持OPC UA TSN网络

Siemens has announced that it welcomes the initiative previously published by the OPC Foundation to further enable OPC UA adoption throughout industrial automation by extending standardization and harmonization activities for OPC UA, including TSN-enabled Ethernet networks at the field level. Siemens, as a founding and board member of the OPC Foundation, is a supporter of the OPC UA technology and has been active in core standardization working groups for many years.

西门子宣布欢迎OPC基金会先前发布的倡议，通过扩展OPC UA的标准化和协调行动，进一步实现OPC UA在整个工业自动化领域的应用，包括现场级的TSN以太网网络。西门子作为OPC基金会的创始成员和董事会成员，是OPC UA技术的支持者，多年来一直活跃于核心标准化工作组。

Siemens has experience and a history in the development and standardization of industrial communication systems. Siemens is actively participating in all relevant standardization bodies like IEEE, IEC, IETF, PI, OPC F, and many more not only as editor but also even as the convener and lead of the whole working group.

西门子在工业通信系统的开发和标准化方面拥有丰富的经验和历史。西门子积极参与IEEE、IEC、IETF、PI、OPC F等所有相关标准化机构，不仅是编撰者，还是整个工作组的召集人和领导者。

The example of Siemens leadership is the foundation of the international IEC/IEEE 60802 standardization group by Siemens. This group will standardize the so called “TSN Profile for Industrial Automation (TSN-IA Profile)” to ensure a multivendor converged TSN network approach for industrial automation where different applications and protocols like OPC UA, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, etc. can share the same TSN network infrastructure. Additionally, an appropriate set of IEEE basic standards will be selected to run the different protocols on one and the same hardware base.

西门子领导力的新实例是西门子创立国际IEC / IEEE 60802标准化小组。该小组将标准化一项“工业自动化TSN配置文件（TSN-IA配置文件）”，以确保工业自动化的不同供应商融合TSN网络方法，其中例如OPC UA、PROFINET、以太网/IP等不同的应用和协议，可以共享相同的TSN网络基础设施。此外，将选择一组合适的IEEE基本标准，在同一个硬件基础上运行不同的协议。

Siemens shares the vision of the OPC Foundation to extend the scope of OPC UA down to field level communication and is looking forward to contributing in standardization activities in the upcoming working groups of the OPC Foundation concerning information models for devices, necessary adaption of OPC UA core standards, application profiles, etc.
