Abstract

A method (100) for operating a distributed control system, DCS (1), of an industrial plant, wherein the DCS comprises a plurality of controllers (11-13), and each such controller (11-13) is configured to communicate with a plurality of subordinate devices (2, 3) over a time sensitive network, TSN, the method (100) comprising the steps of:• providing (110) a control application (14) that comprises, for each controller (11-13), instructions (14a) to contact particular to-be-used subordinate devices (2, 3) and perform control logic using these subordinate devices (2, 3);• obtaining (120), by each controller (11-13), information about TSN capabilities (2a, 3a) of the to-be-used subordinate devices (2, 3);• computing (130), by each controller (11-13), a TSN communication schedule (11a-13a) for communication between this controller (11-13) and the to-be-used subordinate devices (2, 3); and• performing (170), by each controller (11-13), according to the communication schedule (11a-13a), the control logic with the to-be-used subordinate devices (2, 3).
