Industrial networks - Profiles - Part 1-16: Fieldbus profiles - Communication Profile Family 16 (IEC 61784-1-16:2023)

IEC 61784-1-16:2023 defines Communication Profile Family 16 (CPF 16). CPF 16 specifies a set of protocol specific communication profiles (CPs) based on the IEC 61158 series (Type 16 and Type 19) and other standards, to be used in the design of devices involved in communications in factory manufacturing and process control.
NOTE 1 All CPs are based on standards or draft standards or International Standards published by the IEC or on standards or International Standards established by other standards bodies or open standards processes.
NOTE 2 Some CPs of CPF 16 are specified in IEC 61784-2-16.
Each CP selects an appropriate consistent and compatible subset of services and protocols from the relevant set that is defined and modelled in the IEC 61158 series. For the selected subset of services and protocols, the profile also describes any possible or necessary constraints in parameter values.

L’IEC 61784-1-16:2023 définit la famille de profils de communication 16 (CPF 16). La CPF 16 définit un jeu de profils de communication (CP) spécifiques au protocole, fondé sur la série IEC 61158 (type 16 et type 19) et d’autres normes, à utiliser pour la conception d’appareils employés en communication dans le cadre de la production industrielle et de la commande de processus.
NOTE 1 Tous les CP sont fondés sur des normes, des projets de normes ou des Normes internationales publiées par l’IEC, ou bien sur des normes ou des Normes internationales établies par d’autres organismes de normalisation, ou encore sur des processus de normes ouvertes.
NOTE 2 Certains CP de la CPF 16 sont spécifiés dans l’IEC 61784-2-16.
Chaque CP sélectionne un sous-ensemble de services et de protocoles approprié, cohérent et compatible, à partir de l’ensemble du jeu pertinent défini et modélisé dans la série IEC 61158. Le profil décrit également, pour le sous-ensemble sélectionné de services et de protocoles, toute contrainte possible ou nécessaire au niveau des valeurs des paramètres.

Standard IEC 61784-1-16:2023 določa družino komunikacijskih profilov 16 (CPF 16). Družina komunikacijskih profilov 16 določa sklop komunikacijskih profilov (CP), specifičnih za protokol, na osnovi skupine standardov IEC 61158 (tip 16 in tip 19) in drugih standardov, za uporabo pri oblikovanju naprav, vključenih v postopkih komunikacije v tovarniški proizvodnji in kontroli procesa.
OPOMBA 1: Vsi komunikacijski profili temeljijo na standardih ali osnutkih standardov ali mednarodnih standardih, ki jih je objavila komisija IEC, oziroma na standardih ali mednarodnih standardih, ki so jih določili drugi organi za standarde ali procesi odprtih standardov.
OPOMBA 2: Nekateri komunikacijski profili iz družine komunikacijskih profilov 16 so določeni v standardu IEC 61784-2-16.
Vsak komunikacijski profil izbere skladno in združljivo podskupino opravil ter protokolov iz ustreznega sklopa, ki je definiran in modeliran v skupini standardov IEC 61158. Za izbrane podskupine opravil in protokolov profil opisuje tudi morebitne potrebne ali nujne omejitve vrednosti parametrov.

Overview

EN IEC 61784-1-16:2023 (IEC 61784-1-16:2023) defines Communication Profile Family 16 (CPF 16) for industrial networks. CPF 16 specifies protocol-specific communication profiles (CPs) based on the IEC 61158 family (notably Type 16 and Type 19) and other standards. These profiles are intended for use in the design of devices and systems for factory automation and process control, providing consistent selections of physical, data‑link and application layer services and any required parameter constraints.

Keywords: EN IEC 61784-1-16:2023, CPF 16, Communication Profile Family 16, IEC 61158, fieldbus profiles, industrial networks, SERCOS.

Key topics and requirements

  • Profile definition: CPF 16 identifies one or more Communication Profiles (CPs) that select compatible subsets of services and protocols defined in the IEC 61158 series.
  • Layered selections: Each CP explicitly documents the chosen physical layer (PhL), data‑link layer (DLL) and application layer (AL) elements and any constraints on parameter values.
  • SERCOS coverage: CPF 16 covers SERCOS-based profiles (CP 16/1 - SERCOS I, CP 16/2 - SERCOS II) including topology and communication concepts (e.g., ring structures and device counts).
  • Normative references: The standard references multiple IEC 61158 parts (Parts 2, 3-16/3-19, 4-16/4-19, 5-16/5-19, 6-16/6-19) and related IEC/ISO standards to ensure interoperability.
  • Constraints & conformance: Profiles specify any necessary constraints on protocol parameters to avoid divergent implementations and ensure interoperable device design.

Applications

  • Device manufacturers: Implement CPF 16 to ensure that fieldbus interfaces, embedded stacks, and networked devices conform to SERCOS‑based CPs.
  • System integrators and OEMs: Use CPF 16 to specify compatible device combinations, network topologies and real‑time communication behaviors in manufacturing and process automation systems.
  • Automation engineers: Select appropriate CPs for high‑performance motion control, synchronized I/O and deterministic communication requirements.
  • Test houses and certification bodies: Reference CPF 16 when validating protocol conformance and interoperability against IEC 61158‑based profiles.

Related standards

  • IEC 61158 series (Fieldbus specifications: physical, data‑link, application layer parts) - core protocol definitions used by CPF 16.
  • IEC 61784-2-16 - additional real‑time fieldbus profiles related to CPF 16.
  • IEC 61784-1-0 / IEC 61784-1 - general concepts, terminology and other CPF family parts.

EN IEC 61784-1-16:2023 is essential for anyone designing, integrating or certifying fieldbus devices based on SERCOS and IEC 61158 protocol types, ensuring interoperable and deterministic industrial communications.

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.
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.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of some of the associated protocol types is restricted
by their intellectual-property-right holders. In all cases, the commitment to limited release of
intellectual-property-rights made by the holders of those rights permits a layer protocol type to
be used with other layer protocols of the same type, or in other type combinations explicitly
authorized by their respective intellectual property right holders.
NOTE Combinations of protocol types are specified in the IEC 61784-1 series and the IEC 61784-2 series.
IEC 61784-1-16 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial networks, of IEC technical
committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and automation. It is an International
Standard.
This first edition, together with the other parts of the same series, cancels and replaces the fifth
edition of IEC 61784-1 published in 2019. This first edition constitutes a technical revision.
