Communicating messages from industrial terminal devices over ethernet network

A method (100) for transmitting a message (4) from a terminal device (1) in an industrial facility (2) over an Ethernet network (3) having an extended function (3 *) for time-sensitive communication, comprising the steps of: obtaining (110), by an enabler component (11) of the terminal device (1), a message (4) from a control application (12) of the terminal device (1); mapping (120), by the enabler component (11), the message to at least one function (3 *) for time-sensitive communication used when transmitting the message over the Ethernet network (3) based at least in part on the content of the message (4) and/or the path through which the message (4) is delivered to the enabler component (11); converting (130), by the enabler component (11), the message (4) into one or more Ethernet frames (5); encoding (140), by the enabler component (11), a request (3 * *) to transmit the message (4) in at least one of the one or more Ethernet frames (5) according to at least one function (3 *) for time-sensitive commun
