BS EN 61784-2:2014

1   Scope This part of IEC 61784 specifies

• performance indicators supporting classification schemes for Real-Time Ethernet ( RTE ) requirements;

• profiles and related network components based on ISO/IEC 8802‑3 or IEEE 802.3, IEC 61158 series, and IEC 61784‑1;

• RTE solutions that are able to run in parallel with ISO/IEC 8802‑3 or IEEE 802.3 based applications.

These communication profiles are called Real-Time Ethernet communication profiles.

NOTE The RTE communication profiles use ISO/IEC 8802‑3 or IEEE 802.3 communication networks and its related network components or IEC 61588 and may in some cases amend those standards to obtain RTE features.
