Overview

SIST EN IEC 61784-2-2:2023 is an international standard focused on industrial networks, particularly on communication profiles for real-time fieldbus systems. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) and aligned with IEC standards, this document defines additional profiles for Real-Time Ethernet (RTE) networks, building on ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 (commonly known as Ethernet) and Communication Profile Family 2 (CPF 2). The standard supports the integration of industrial automation systems by enabling reliable, synchronized, and high-performance communication among devices in automation environments.

With industry’s growing demand for real-time and deterministic communication, SIST EN IEC 61784-2-2:2023 addresses the need for robust profiles that combine the broad acceptance of standard Ethernet with the performance required in automated process control and manufacturing.

Key Topics

  • Communication Profile Family 2 (CPF 2): Defines sets of RTE communication profiles for industrial automation rooted in widely adopted standards. CPF 2 leverages the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) for consistency and interoperability in upper network layers.
  • Real-Time Ethernet (RTE): The standard provides extensions and detailed communication profiles to enable real-time exchange of process data over Ethernet networks. This includes profiles that specify physical, data-link, and application layer behaviors.
  • Performance Indicators: The standard outlines performance indicators such as delivery time, maximum number of end-stations, network topology constraints, and throughput. These indicators help ensure that communication networks meet the rigorous requirements of real-time industrial networks.
  • Time Synchronization: Enhanced support for time synchronization-essential for precise control and motion systems-builds on standards such as IEC 61588, increasing the applicability of Ethernet-based networks for demanding applications.
  • Network Topology: The defined profiles are typically based on hierarchical star topologies using Ethernet switches, supporting scalability and robustness.

Applications

The SIST EN IEC 61784-2-2:2023 standard is highly relevant in several application areas, including:

  • Industrial Process Automation: Integration of controllers, sensors, and actuators requiring deterministic and reliable data exchange with low latency and high synchronization accuracy.
  • Manufacturing Automation: Deployment in factory automation for synchronized operations of drives, robots, and other equipment over Ethernet networks.
  • Machine-to-Machine Communication: Facilitates machine-to-machine (M2M) data transmission, which is essential for Industry 4.0 and industrial IoT deployments.
  • Networked Measurement and Control: Precise and real-time communication for distributed measurement and control tasks in complex automation systems.
  • Migration to Ethernet: Supports organizations transitioning legacy fieldbus systems to modern, Ethernet-based communications, retaining compatibility with established protocols and infrastructure.

By applying this standard, organizations can improve interoperability, enhance system scalability, and ensure reliable system performance in real-time industrial networks.

Related Standards

For comprehensive implementation and compliance, the following related standards should be considered alongside SIST EN IEC 61784-2-2:2023:

  • IEC 61158 Series: Fundamental industrial communication network specifications for fieldbus technologies.
  • IEC 61784-1-2: Details and requirements for CPF 2 fieldbus profiles.
  • IEC 61784-2-0: General concepts and terminology for additional real-time fieldbus profiles.
  • IEC 61588: Precision clock synchronization essential for time-sensitive and synchronized applications.
  • IEC 61918: Guidelines for the installation of industrial communication networks on premises.
  • ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3: Ethernet standards for local and metropolitan area networks.
  • IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.1AS: Specifications for Ethernet network bridging, timing, and synchronization.

SIST EN IEC 61784-2-2:2023 is an indispensable reference for professionals designing or operating real-time industrial Ethernet networks, providing robust frameworks to meet the evolving requirements of automation and process control environments. By leveraging these standards, organizations can build future-ready, reliable, and interoperable industrial automation systems.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of some of the associated protocol types is restricted
by their intellectual-property-right holders. In all cases, the commitment to limited release of
intellectual-property-rights made by the holders of those rights permits a layer protocol type to
be used with other layer protocols of the same type, or in other type combinations explicitly
authorized by their respective intellectual property right holders.
NOTE Combinations of protocol types are specified in the IEC 61784-1 series and the IEC 61784-2 series.
IEC 61784-2-2 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial networks, of IEC technical
committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and automation. It is an International
Standard.
This first edition, together with the other parts of the same series, cancels and replaces the
fourth edition of IEC 61784-2 published in 2019. This first edition constitutes a technical revision.

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 61784-2 series provides additional Communication Profiles (CP) to the existing
Communication Profile Families (CPF) of the IEC 61784-1 series and additional CPFs with one
or more CPs. These profiles meet the industrial automation market objective of identifying Real-
Time Ethernet (RTE) communication networks coexisting with ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 –
commonly known as Ethernet. These RTE communication networks use provisions of
ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 for the lower communication stack layers and additionally provide more
predictable and reliable real-time data transfer and means for support of precise
synchronization of automation equipment.
More specifically, these profiles help to correctly state the compliance of RTE communication
networks with ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3, and to avoid the spreading of divergent implementations.
Adoption of Ethernet technology for industrial communication between controllers and even for
communication with field devices promotes the use of Internet technologies in the field area.
This availability would be unacceptable if it causes the loss of features required in the field area
for industrial communication automation networks, such as:
• real-time,
• synchronized actions between field devices like drives,
• efficient, frequent exchange of very small data records.
These new RTE profiles can take advantage of the improvements of Ethernet networks in terms
of transmission bandwidth and network span.
Another implicit but essential requirement is that the typical Ethernet communication
capabilities, as used in the office world, are fully retained, so that the software involved remains
applicable.
The market is in need of several network solutions, each with different performance
characteristics and functional capabilities, matching the diverse application requirements. RTE
performance indicators, whose values will be provided with RTE devices based on
communication profiles specified in the IEC 61784-2 series, enable the user to match network
devices with application-dependent performance requirements of an RTE network.

CPF 2
1 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 series (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 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 profiles use ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 communication networks and its related
network components or IEC 61588 and in some cases amend those standards to obtain RTE features.
NOTE 3 Some CPs of CPF 2 are specified in IEC 61784-1-2.
