1 Scope
This part of IEC 61784‑1 defines Communication Profile Family 1 (CPF 1). CPF 1 specifies a set of protocol specific communication profiles (CPs) based on the
IEC 61158 series (Type 1, Type 5 and Type 9) and other standards, to be used in the design of devices
involved in communications in factory manufacturing and process control.
NOTE 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.
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.
