Abstract: A method for handling failure of a TSN communication link in a TSN network. The method is performed by a control node and includes estimating requirements for TSN communication for end-points based on application parameters, input/output requirements, and application requirements, wherein each end-point is capable of communicating over a TSN channel and a non-TSN channel in the TSN network using one and the same network interface. The method includes obtaining an indication of a failure of a TSN communication link in the TSN network between two of the end-points. The method includes performing self-healing of the TSN communication link.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for joining of a first field device to a wireless sensor actuator network using a configuration tool. The wireless sensor actuator network comprises a plurality of interconnected field devices and gateway for connecting the interconnected field devices to a plant automation network comprising controllers and network manager. The method comprises receiving device information associated with the first field device, transmitting a commissioning request for the first field device, the commissioning request comprising device information and geographical location information of the first field device, receiving commissioning information comprising a session key, a network key and routing information, and commissioning the first field device using the received commissioning information for joining the said field device to the wireless sensor actuator network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting multiple time synchronization protocols within an industrial device include obtaining a time reference from each industrial device within the first set of industrial devices and the second set of industrial devices. The time reference provides the basis for synchronization of the clock and other clocks of first set of industrial devices and the second set of industrial devices. A principal time reference is selected from among the time references. Once selected, the principal time reference is correlated with each of the time references obtained from the first set of industrial devices and the second set of industrial devices. With the principal time reference correlated, related communication with the second device may be controlled.

Abstract: In aspects, the present invention discloses a method for replacing a first field device with a second field device using a commissioning tool. The method comprising retrieving a device description file associated with the first field device, analyzing the device description file, generating a first object by mapping a parameters of the second field device to a parameter from the identified one or more parameters based on a first index and a second index, generating a configuration file associated with the second file device based on the device description file and the generated first object, and transmitting the configuration file to the second field device for commissioning operation of the second field device. The step of analyzing the device description file comprises identifying one or more parameters from the plurality of parameters for mapping based on a predetermined criteria.
