What is BS EN 61131-5 - Programmable controllers - Communications about?
BS EN 61131-5 is the fifth part of the multiple series that specifies the communication aspects of a programmable controller. In particular, BS EN 61131-5 specifies the behaviour of the PC as it provides services on behalf of other devices and the services the PC application program can request from other devices.
Note 1: BS EN 61131-5 is not intended to specify how any device can communicate with any device using a PC as a router or gateway.
Note 2: The behaviour of the PC as a communication client and server is specified independent of the particular communication subsystem, but the communication functionality may be dependent on the capabilities of the communication subsystem used.
