Factory Automation and Motion Control: URLLC Delay TolerancesTraffic Type Traffic Characteristics Delay

IEEE 1588 (CIP Sync)

Fixed size messages, 44 or 64 bytes payload.Produced on a cyclic basis, once per second.

PTP compensates fordelays in the infrastructure.

CIP Motion Fixed size messages, typically 80–220 bytes.High performance applications target up to 100 axes in 1 ms

For high performanceapplications, less than 100 μs.

CIP I/O Fixed size messages, typically 100 to 500 bytes.Typical cyclic rate per stream: 1 to 500 ms orgreater.

Tolerance proportional tothe packet rate.Target: < 25% of the packetinterval.

CIP Safety I/O

Fixed messages, typically on the order of 16 bytespayload.Produced according to a cyclic rate.Typical cyclic rate: 5 to 10 ms or greater.

Dependent on the packetrate; in general can toleratedelay of 5 ms.

• New 5G use cases driven by ability to address new vertical value chains (URLLC and MMTC)

• Virtualization and slicing set to be foundational capabilities to support new vertical value chains

• Common Industrial Protocol driving low latency communications requirements• CIP IO, CIP IO Safety, CIP Motion and CIP Sync

• Latency requirements driving on-premise deployments of Small cells and associated VNFs

• What factors do Business Principles WG need to consider as it relates to support of on-premise systems for supporting vertical value chains?
