Industrial communication networks - Profiles - Part 3-8: Functional safety fieldbuses - Additional specifications for CPF 8
IEC 61784-3-8:2016 specifies a safety communication layer (services and protocol) based on CPF 8 of IEC 61784-1, IEC 61784-2 and IEC 61158 Type 18 and Type 23. It identifies the principles for functional safety communications defined in IEC 61784-3 that are relevant for this safety communication layer. This safety communication layer is intended for implementation in safety devices only. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- Added FSCP 8/2;

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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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.
International Standard IEC 61784-3-8 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial
networks, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and
automation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2010. This edition
constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical
changes with respect to the previous edition:
• Added FSCP 8/2;
• Added FSCP 8/2 Clause 12;
• Added content for FSCP 8/2 to Clauses 1 to 3 (scope, references, terms);
• Moved previous FSCP 8/1 to Clause 11 (demoting all old heading levels by one);
• Restructured old Clauses 4 to 10 to point to appropriate subclauses as appropriate.

0 Introduction
0.1 General
The IEC 61158 fieldbus standard together with its companion standards IEC 61784-1 and
IEC 61784-2 defines a set of communication protocols that enable distributed control of
automation applications. Fieldbus technology is now considered well accepted and well
proven. Thus fieldbus enhancements continue to emerge, addressing applications for areas
such as real time, safety-related and security-related applications.
This standard explains the relevant principles for functional safety communications with
reference to IEC 61508 series and specifies several safety communication layers (profiles and
corresponding protocols) based on the communication profiles and protocol layers of
IEC 61784-1, IEC 61784-2 and the IEC 61158 series. It does not cover electrical safety and
intrinsic safety aspects.
Figure 1 shows the relationships between this standard and relevant safety and fieldbus
standards in a machinery environment.
IEC
NOTE Subclauses 6.7.6.4 (high complexity) and 6.7.8.1.6 (low complexity) of IEC 62061 specify the relationship
between PL (Category) and SIL.

Safety communication layers which are implemented as parts of safety-related systems
according to IEC 61508 series provide the necessary confidence in the transportation of
messages (information) between two or more participants on a fieldbus in a safety-related
system, or sufficient confidence of safe behaviour in the event of fieldbus errors or failures.
Safety communication layers specified in this standard do this in such a way that a fieldbus
can be used for applications requiring functional safety up to the Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
specified by its corresponding functional safety communication profile.
The resulting SIL claim of a system depends on the implementation of the selected functional
safety communication profile (FSCP) within this system – implementation of a functional
safety communication profile in a standard device is not sufficient to qualify it as a safety
device.
This standard describes:
– basic principles for implementing the requirements of IEC 61508 series for safety-
related data communications, including possible transmission faults, remedial
measures and considerations affecting data integrity;
– functional safety communication profiles for several communication profile families in
IEC 61784-1 and IEC 61784-2, including safety layer extensions to the communication
service and protocols sections of the IEC 61158 series.

Additional specifications for CPF 8
1 Scope
This part of the IEC 61784-3 series specifies a safety communication layer (services and
protocol) based on CPF 8 of IEC 61784-1, IEC 61784-2 and IEC 61158 Type 18 and Type 23.
It identifies the principles for functional safety communications defined in IEC 61784-3 that
are relevant for this safety communication layer. This safety communication layer is intended
for implementation in safety devices only.
NOTE 1 It does not cover electrical safety and intrinsic safety aspects. Electrical safety relates to hazards such
as electrical shock. Intrinsic safety relates to hazards associated with potentially explosive atmospheres.
This part defines mechanisms for the transmission of safety-relevant messages among
participants within a distributed network using fieldbus technology in accordance with the
requirements of IEC 61508 series for functional safety. These mechanisms may be used in
various industrial applications such as process control, manufacturing automation and
machinery.
This part provides guidelines for both developers and assessors of compliant devices and
systems.
NOTE 2 The resulting SIL claim of a system depends on the implementation of the selected functional safety
communication profile within this system – implementation of a functional safety communication profile according to
this part in a standard device is not sufficient to qualify it as a safety device.
