Scope

This Part 1 of the IEC 63595 series provides fundamentals for the specification of wireless communication systems based on 5G and beyond technologies applicable for industrial process measurement, control and automation. The basic architecture of a 5G system is presented, which forms the basis of industrial 5G systems. Essential 5G terms are listed with references to 3GPP documents. Additional definitions needed in industrial applications are provided. These definitions are used in the IEC 63595 series.

The context of an industrial 5G system is described, from which the requirements for such a system can be derived. Based on that this document provides a description of the conceptual model of industrial 5G in the context of industrial production (process and manufacturing) including interfaces of an industrial 5G communication system to automation systems (reference interface, configuration interface, monitoring interface) and its parameters.

Purpose

This proposal for a new work item is related to a series of documents and is in the field covered by the existing committee IEC SC65C. This project is an enhancement of existing IT standards for 5G (3GPP) to be used in the OT arena of industrial automation. This project can be compared with the effort to enhance Ethernet so that is now suitable for OT applications.
