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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.
International Standard IEC 62453-306 has been prepared by subcommittee 65E: Devices and

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 62453 is an interface specification for developers of FDT (Field Device Tool)
components for function control and data access within a client/server architecture. The
specification is a result of an analysis and design process to develop standard interfaces to
facilitate the development of servers and clients by multiple vendors that need to interoperate
seamlessly.
With the integration of fieldbusses into control systems, there are a few other tasks which
need to be performed. In addition to fieldbus- and device-specific tools, there is a need to
integrate these tools into higher-level system-wide planning- or engineering tools. In
particular, for use in extensive and heterogeneous control systems, typically in the area of the
process industry, the unambiguous definition of engineering interfaces that are easy to use for
all those involved is of great importance.
A device-specific software component, called DTM (Device Type Manager), is supplied by the
field device manufacturer with its device. The DTM is integrated into engineering tools via the
FDT interfaces defined in this standard. The approach to integration is in general open for all
kind of fieldbusses and thus meets the requirements for integrating different kinds of devices
into heterogeneous control systems.
Figure 1 shows how IEC 62453-306 is aligned in the structure of the IEC 62453 series.

1 Scope
Communication Profile Family 6 (commonly known as INTERBUS® ) defines communication
profiles based on IEC 61158-2 Type 8, IEC 61158-3-8, IEC 61158-4-8, IEC 61158-5-8, and
IEC 61158-6-8. The basic profiles CP 6/1 (INTERBUS) and CP 6/3 (INTERBUS minimal
subset) are defined in IEC 61784-1.
This part of IEC 62453 provides information for integrating the INTERBUS® technology into
the FDT standard (IEC 62453-2).
This part of the IEC 62453 specifies communication and other services.
This standard neither contains the FDT specification nor modifies it.

11 Channel parameter data types
It is up to a DTM whether it provides any channels. If a DTM allows a Frame Application,
other DTMs, or a controller the direct access to its process values via IEC 61784 CPF 6
protocol, it should provide FDT-Channel objects as described in this clause. Only the
complete description of all channels belonging to an IEC 61784 CPF 6 process value allows
proper access for external applications.
The description of channels, especially of the process values, allows the Frame Application to
support the device in a more efficient way.
The data types are used at GetChannelParameters service and SetChannelParameters
services.
The information returned by the GetChannelParameters service describes how to access an
I/O value via IEC 61784 CPF 6 protocol (see Table 8 and Table 9).
The data types described in this clause are defined for the following namespace.

12 Device identification
There are different IEC 61784 CPF 6 specific identification elements.
An IEC 61784 CPF 6 scan may detect different device types: IEC 61784 CPF 6 devices
following the base profile, IEC 61784 CPF 6 PCP devices and simple IEC 61784 CPF 6
devices.
The following rule shall be applied for IEC 61784 CPF 6 Communication Channels:
• if an IEC 61784 CPF 6 base profile is available, create an IEC 61784 CPF 6 base
profile identification;
• otherwise check IEC 61784 CPF 6 PCP;
• otherwise create a simple IEC 61784 CPF 6 device identification.
12.1 Protocol specific handling of data type STRING
IEC 61784 CPF 6 char array rules
• In all strings based on char ranges defined in the field bus protocol specification, the
leading spaces are left trimmed. The char array is to be filled with 0x20h (blank).
• In VisibleStrings, invisible characters provided by a device have to be replaced by ‘?’.
Characters within VisibleStrings, which are not defined in the 7 bit ASCII/ANSI
character set, are considered to be invisible.
12.2 Device type identification data types
The IEC 61784 CPF 6 device type identification data types provide general data types with a
protocol specific semantic (see Table 10, Table 11 and Table 12) as well as data types
without such a mapping (see Table 13).
The data types described in this clause are defined for the following namespace.
