Overview
SIST EN IEC 62657-2:2025 (IEC 62657-2:2025) - Industrial networks - Coexistence of wireless systems - Part 2: Coexistence management - defines principles, parameters and procedures for managing wireless coexistence in industrial automation plants. This international standard addresses the full life‑cycle of wireless coexistence (planning, design, installation, implementation, operation, maintenance, administration and training) and provides guidelines, requirements and best practices to maintain wireless communication availability and performance in industrial networks.
Key technical topics and requirements
The standard establishes a common framework and coexistence parameters used to assess and manage interference and performance across heterogeneous wireless systems. Key technical topics include:
- Coexistence concepts and objectives - manual, automated non‑collaborative and automated collaborative coexistence management approaches.
- Life‑cycle management - responsibilities and critical aspects for planning, design, installation, operation, maintenance and training.
- Coexistence parameters and metrics - definitions and usage for parameters such as frequency band, centre frequency, frequency channel, bandwidth, transmit power, EIRP, duty cycle, dwell time, receiver sensitivity, adjacent channel selectivity, spectral mask, data throughput, message loss ratio, availability, reliability, update/transfer intervals, spatial coverage and device density.
- Operational aspects - static human/tool/organization factors and dynamic network self‑organization for coexistence.
- Information structures - data models and parameter usage to support coexistence management and future integration with the IEC Common Data Dictionary (IEC CDD).
- Regulatory support - how coexistence management contributes to meeting national/regional radio and safety requirements.
Practical applications and who uses it
This standard is practical for organizations that deploy and operate wireless systems in industrial environments where multiple wireless technologies coexist (e.g., process plants, factories, logistics hubs):
- RF planners and wireless engineers - for spectrum planning, interference analysis and parameter selection.
- System integrators and automation engineers - to design resilient wireless architectures and select appropriate technologies.
- Plant operators and maintenance teams - for operation, monitoring, fault diagnosis and lifecycle maintenance of wireless networks.
- Safety, cybersecurity and compliance managers - to align coexistence practices with IEC 62443 security measures and with regional radio regulations.
- Procurement and asset managers - to specify coexistence requirements in contracts and tenders.

INTRODUCTION
The overall market for wireless communication solutions spans a range of diverse applications,
with differing performance and functional requirements. Within this overall market, the industrial
automation domain could include:
• process automation, covering for example the following industry branches:
– oil and gas, refining,
– chemical,
– pharmaceutical,
– mining,
– pulp and paper,
– water and wastewater,
– steel,
• electric power such as:
– power generation (for example wind turbine),
– power transmission and distribution (grid),
• factory automation, covering for example the following industry branches:
– food and beverage,
– automotive,
– machinery,
– semiconductor.
Industrial automation requirements for wireless communication systems are different from those
of, for example, the telecommunications, commercial and consumer markets. These industrial
automation requirements are identified and provided in IEC 62657-1.
Industrial premises can contain a variety of wireless communication technologies and other
sources of radio emissions.
This document is intended for designers and persons responsible for production and process
plants, system integrators and mechanical engineers having to integrate and start up wireless
systems in machines and plants, and producers of industrial wireless solutions. In particular, it
is intended to motivate the exchange of information between automation and radio engineers.
Many wireless industrial automation applications are also located in physical environments over
which the operator/owner can exert control, that is, within a physical facility where the presence
and operation of all radio emitting devices are under the control of a single entity. This allows
wireless management strategies to be employed which are not feasible for equipment installed
in public or other unmanaged areas.
– 10 – IEC 62657-2:2025 © IEC 2025
In industrial automation, many different wireless communication systems can operate in the
same premises. Examples of these communication systems are IEC 62591 [1]
®2
(WirelessHART ), IEC 62601 [2] (WIA-PA) and IEC 62734 [3] (ISA100.11a). All these
communication systems use IEEE 802.15.4 [4] for the process automation applications. Other
examples of wireless communication systems are specified in the IEC 61784-1 series [5] and
IEC 61784-2 series [6] CP that use IEEE 802.11 [7] and IEEE 802.15.1 [8] for factory
automation applications. Different to wired fieldbuses, the wireless communication devices can
interfere with others on the same premises or environment, disturbing each other. Other sources
of radio energy in these bands, often at high energy levels, include radiated process heating,
plastic welding, plasma lamps, and microwave irradiation devices.
Clearly, without a means to manage the coexistence of these varied emitters, it would be
problematic to ensure that wireless systems meet the time-criticality and other performance
requirements of industrial automation.
This document describes the management of independent radio sources that use the same
transmission medium. The management within a wireless communication system is not the
subject of this document. It is assumed that the standard of a wireless system regulates it, for
example by a medium access control mechanism.
The IEC 62657 series has four parts:
• Part 1: Wireless communication requirements and spectrum considerations,
• Part 2: Coexistence management,
• Part 3: Formal description of the automated coexistence management and application
guidance,
• Part 4: Coexistence management with central coordination of wireless applications.
IEC 62657-1 provides general requirements for industrial automation and spectrum
considerations that are the basis for industrial communication solutions. This document
specifies the coexistence management of wireless devices to ensure predicable performance.
It is intended to facilitate harmonization of future adjustments to international, national, and
local regulations.
This document provides the coexistence management concept and process. Based on the
coexistence management process, a predictable assuredness of coexistence can be achieved
for a given spectrum with certain application requirements. This document describes principles
to manage the potential mutual interference that could occur due to the operation of multiple
wireless devices in a plant.
This document provides guidance to the users of wireless systems on selection and proper use
of wireless systems. To provide suitable wireless devices to the market, it also serves vendors
in describing the behaviours of wireless devices to build wireless systems matching the
application requirements.
This document is based on analyses of a number of International Standards, which focus on
specific technologies. The intention of this document is not to invent new parameters but to use
already defined ones and to be technology independent.
