Industrial communication networks - Installation of communication networks in industrial premises
IEC 61918:2013 specifies basic requirements for the installation of media for communication networks in industrial premises and within and between the automation islands, of industrial sites. This standard covers balanced and optical fibre cabling. It also covers the cabling infrastructure for wireless media, but not the wireless media itself. Additional media are covered in the IEC 61784-5 series. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010 and constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following changes: - some terms and abbreviated terms have been added to Clause 3; - Subclauses 4.4.3.4.1 and 4.4.7.3 have been updated; - Subclause 8.1 has been updated; - Figure 13, Figure 29, Figure H.1, Table 3, Table 6, Table 7 and Table B.5 have been updated; - Annex D and Annex M have been extended to cover additional communication profile families; - A new informative Annex O has been added.
Industrielle Kommunikationsnetze – Installation von Kommunikationsnetzen in Industrieanlagen
Réseaux de communication industriels - Installation de réseaux de communication dans des locaux industriels
La CEI 61918:2013 spécifie les exigences de base pour l'installation d'un support de réseaux de communication dans des locaux industriels et à l'intérieur et entre des îlots d'automatisation de sites industriels. La présente norme couvre le câblage symétrique et à fibres optiques. Elle couvre également l'infrastructure de câblage des supports sans fil, mais pas le support sans fil lui-même. D'autres supports sont couverts par la série CEI 61784-5. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2010 et constitue une révision technique. Elle inclut les modifications suivantes: - certains termes et abréviations ont été ajoutés à l'Article 3; - les Paragraphes 4.4.3.4.1 et 4.4.7.3 ont été mis à jour; - le Paragraphe 8.1 a été mis à jour; - la Figure 13, la Figure 29, la Figure H.1, le Tableau 3, le Tableau 6, le Tableau 7 et le Tableau B.5 ont été mis à jour; - Annexe D et l'Annexe M ont été étendues pour couvrir des familles de profil de communication supplémentaires; - une nouvelle Annexe O informative a été ajoutée.
Industrijska komunikacijska omrežja - Inštalacija komunikacijskih omrežij v industrijskih okoljih (IEC 61918:2013 spremenjen)
Ta mednarodni standard opredeljuje osnovne zahteve za inštalacijo medijev za komunikacijska omrežja v industrijskih okoljih ter znotraj avtomatiziranih otokov industrijskih lokacij in med njimi. Ta standard vključuje uravnoteženo kablovje iz optičnih vlaken. Prva tako vključuje kabelsko infrastrukturo za brezžične medije, vendar ne samih brezžičnih medijev. Dodatne medije obravnava skupina standardov IEC 61784-5. Ta standard je spremljevalni standard h komunikacijskim omrežjem industrijskih avtomatiziranih otokov in posebej h komunikacijskim omrežjem, opredeljenim v skupinah standardov IEC 61158 in IEC 61784. Poleg tega ta standard obravnava: • inštalacijo generičnega telekomunikacijskega kablovja za industrijska okolja, kot je določeno v ISO/IEC 24702; • povezavo med generičnim telekomunikacijskim kablovjem, določenim v ISO/IEC 24702, in posebnim komunikacijskim kablovjem avtomatiziranega otoka, kjer avtomatiziran izhod (AO) nadomešča telekomunikacijski izhod (TO) iz ISO/IEC 24702. Ta standard nudi smernice za urejanje kritičnih vidikov industrijskih avtomatiziranih področij (varnost in okoljske vidike, kot so motnje zaradi mehanskih vplivov, tekočine, delcev, podnebja, kemikalij in elektromagnetizma). Ta standard ne priznava postopkov distribucije energije prek uravnoteženih kabelskih sistemov Ethernet, ki niso opredeljeni v IEEE 802.3 in v IEEE 802.3at. Ta standard obravnava vloge načrtovalca, monterja, preverjevalca, osebja za opravljanje prevzemnih preskusov, administrativnega osebja in osebja za vzdrževanje ter opredeljuje ustrezne odgovornosti in/ali podaja vodilo.
