The Institute of Embedded Systems at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences is a leading R&D institution in the field of industrial communication. Apart from applied research activities in the development of new communication technologies we offer both turnkey and adaptable IP in the form of FPGA and/or Software for applications in functional safety as well as communication systems in decentralised Energy-Solutions automation. Currently fields of activitiy are:

• Ethernet based high-performance communication solutions (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP etc)

• High precision time synchronisation via packet orientated networks (IEEE 1588)

• High-Availability communication solutions (MRP, PRP, HSR etc)

• Energy Automation (IEC 61850)
