Renesas is aiming a set of microcontrollers at industrial equipment needing real-time Ethernet control. Dubbed RZ/N2L, the MCUs have an integrated time-sensitive networking (TSN) compliant three port Gigabit Ethernet switch and an EtherCAT slave controller. They support industrial network communication protocols including EtherCAT, Profinet RT, the new Profinet IRT, EtherNet/IP and OPC UA. “By using …
