Industrial networks - Profiles - Part 2-18: Additional real-time fieldbus profiles based on ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 - CPF 18

This part of IEC 61784-2 defines Communication Profile Family 18 (CPF 18). CPF 18 specifies a set of Real-Time Ethernet (RTE) communication profiles (CPs) and related network components based on the IEC 61158 series (Type 22), 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(s) 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.
