1 Scope
This part of IEC 61784 specifies
-
• performance indicators supporting classification schemes for Real-Time Ethernet (RTE) requirements;
-
• profiles and related network components based on ISO/IEC 8802‑3, IEC 61158 series, and IEC 61784‑1;
-
• RTE solutions that are able to run in parallel with ISO/IEC 8802‑3‑based applications.
These communication profiles are called Real-Time Ethernet communication profiles.
NOTE The RTE communication profiles use ISO/IEC 8802‑3 communication networks and its related network components or IEC 61588 and may in some cases amend those standards to obtain RTE features.
