Abstract
A network device for industrial control includes at least one processor, configured to operate a first operating system (OS) to process data forwarding with TSN standards and operate a second operating system to operate with an industrial protocol to process industrial control; and a communication protocol processing module, coupled to the at least one processor, configured to process network traffic of the first operating system and the second operating system according to a synchronized time. The first operating system and the second operating system perform time synchronization through a time message to obtain the synchronized time.
