Communication system and method for integrating a data distribution service into a time sensitive network

A system includes a scheduling device of a data distribution service (DDS) that determines bandwidth for communication of time sensitive communications between devices using the DDS in a time sensitive network (TSN). The scheduling device determines available bandwidth for communication of non-time sensitive communications of the control system using the DDS in the TSN, and controls communication of both the time sensitive and non-time sensitive communications in the TSN. The system also includes a traffic shaper of the TSN that receives a communication change from the control system at the TSN. The scheduling device changes one or more of the bandwidth for the communication of the time sensitive communications or the available bandwidth for the communication of the non-time sensitive communications in the TSN without restarting at least one network device of the TSN and while ensuring communications of both the time sensitive communications and the non-time sensitive communications.
