IEC 61784-2-16:2023
Industrial networks - Profiles - Part 2-16: Additional real-time fieldbus profiles based on ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 - CPF 16
IEC 61784-2-16:2023 defines extensions of Communication Profile Family 16 (CPF 16) for Real-Time Ethernet (RTE). CPF 16 specifies a Real-Time Ethernet (RTE) communication profile (CP) and related network components based on the IEC 61158 series (Type 19), 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 CPs 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 profile uses ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 communication networks and its related network components and in some cases amend those standards to obtain RTE features.NOTE 3?Some CPs of CPF 16 are specified in IEC 61784-1-16.
