IEC 61784-3-3:2016

IEC 61784-3-3:2010 specifies a safety communication layer (services and protocol) based on CPF 3 of IEC 61784-1, IEC 61784-2 (CP 3/1, CP 3/2, CP 3/4, CP 3/5 and CP 3/6) and IEC 61158 Types 3 and 10. It identifies the principles for functional safety communications defined in IEC 61784-3 that are relevant for this safety communication layer. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007. This edition constitutes a technical revision. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are: - updates in relation with changes in IEC 61784-3; - introduction of a secondary watchdog timer (F_WD_Time_2) to cover the use cases 'configuration-in-run', or 'maintenance of fault tolerance systems', or both (7.1.3, 7.2.3, 7.2.6, 8.1.1, 8.1.4, 8.1.6.2); - missing GSDL definitions conveyed from other approved documents (8.3.2.1); - missing CRC signature calculation for a GSD conveyed from other approved documents (8.3.3.3); - constraints for the parameter value assignment of the primary watchdog timer 'F_WD_Time' (9.3.3); - identification of the safety parameterization state of an F-Device or F-Module via field IM4 (signature) within the I&M functions (9.6.2); - updated documents in bibliography. This bilingual version (2012-02) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in 2010-06.

IEC 61784-3-3:2021 specifies a safety communication layer (services and protocol) based on CPF 3 of IEC 61784-1, IEC 61784-2 (CP 3/1, CP 3/2, CP 3/4, CP 3/5 and CP 3/6) and IEC 61158 Types 3 and 10. It identifies the principles for functional safety communications defined in IEC 61784-3 that are relevant for this safety communication layer. This safety communication layer is intended for implementation in safety devices only. NOTE 1 It does not cover electrical safety and intrinsic safety aspects. Electrical safety relates to hazards such as electrical shock. Intrinsic safety relates to hazards associated with potentially explosive atmospheres. This document defines mechanisms for the transmission of safety-relevant messages among participants within a distributed network using fieldbus technology in accordance with the requirements of IEC 61508 (all parts) for functional safety. These mechanisms may be used in various industrial applications such as process control, manufacturing automation and machinery. This document provides guidelines for both developers and assessors of compliant devices and systems. NOTE 2 The resulting SIL claim of a system depends on the implementation of the selected functional safety communication profile within this system ? implementation of a functional safety communication profile according to this document in a standard device is not sufficient to qualify it as a safety device.
