BS EN 62657-1:2017

What is BS EN 62657-1 - Wireless communication for industrial automation about?  

BS EN 62657-1 provides general requirements of industrial automation and spectrum considerations that are the basis for industrial communication solutions. BS EN 62657-1 is intended to facilitate harmonization of future adjustments to international, national, regional and local regulations. 

BS EN 62657-1 provides the wireless communication requirements dictated by the applications of wireless communication systems in industrial automation, and requirements of the related context. The requirements are specified in a way that is independent of the wireless technology employed. The requirements are described in detail and in such a way as to be understood by a large audience, including readers who are not familiar with the industry applications. 

BS EN 62657-1 also provides a rationale to successfully articulate the solutions of the wireless communication requirements proposed for the short-term and long-term. Coexistence management according to IEC 62657-2 is already applied in the short term. 

Who is BS EN 62657-1 - Wireless communication for industrial automation for? 

BS EN 62657-1 on wireless communication for industrial automation is useful for: 

• The automation industry 
• Automation field professionals 
• The telecommunication industry 
• Software developers/engineers 

Why should you use BS EN 62657-1 - Wireless communication for industrial automation?  

Wireless technology is going to play an important role in the application of the industrial Internet of things. Industrial production (such as automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical, machinery, food and beverage) is highly automated. The global productivity of industrial production can benefit from using wireless devices. 

BS EN 62657-1 provides useful information for the automation field professionals who are not familiar with the spectrum and wireless technologies. 

BS EN 62657-1 describes requirements of the industrial automation applications that can be used to ask for additional dedicated, worldwide unique spectrum. This additional spectrum is intended to be used for additional wireless applications while continuing using the current industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) bands. 

BS EN 62657-1 provides you with the concepts and resulting requirements for using a suitable and dedicated spectrum in wireless industrial applications.
