Full Description

This part of IEC 61784-1 defines Communication Profile Family 5 (CPF 5). CPF 5 specifies a set of protocol specific communication profiles (CPs) based on the IEC 61158 series (Type 7) and other standards, to be used in the design of devices involved in communications in factory manufacturing and process control.

NOTE 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.

Each CP selects an appropriate consistent and compatible subset of services and protocols from the relevant set that is defined and modelled in the IEC 61158 series. For the selected subset of services and protocols, the profile also describes any possible or necessary constraints in parameter values.
