1. A system for synchronizing motion connection communication within time-sensitive networks (TSN) for industrial systems, the system comprising:
an electronic processor configured to:
determine a controller Qbv configuration for an industrial controller included in a TSN;
determine, based at least in part on the controller Qbv configuration, a base start of a controller update period for the industrial controller;
determine, based at least in part on the base start of the controller update cycle for the industrial controller, a maximum transmission latency associated with transmission from the industrial controller to an industrial device, and a first start of a connection update cycle for the industrial device, a first start of a Qbv slot for isochronous traffic for the industrial device included in the TSN; and
adjust, based at least in part on the first start of the Qbv slot for isochronous traffic for the industrial device, network scheduling for the industrial device.
