Standards Development

Scope

This part of IEC 61784-2 defines extensions of Communication Profile Family 2 (CPF 2) for Real-Time Ethernet (RTE). CPF 2 specifies a set of Real-Time Ethernet (RTE) communication profiles (CPs) and related network components based on the IEC 61158 (all parts) (Type 2), ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 and other standards.

For each RTE communication profile, this document also specifies the relevant RTE performance indicators and the dependencies between these RTE performance indicators.

NOTE 1 All CP are based on standards or draft standards or International Standards published by the IEC or on standards or International Standards established by other standards bodies or open standards processes.

NOTE 2 The RTE communication profiles use ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 communication networks and its related network components or IEC 61588:2021 and in some cases amend those standards to obtain RTE features.

NOTE 3 Some CP of CPF 2 are specified in IEC 61784-1-2:2028.

NOTE 4 All parts of the IEC 61158 (all parts), as well as the IEC 61784-1 (all parts) [1] and the IEC 61784-2 (all parts) [2], are maintained simultaneously. Cross-references to these documents within the text therefore refer to the editions as dated in this list of normative references.
