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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance
with this document may involve the use of patents concerning the functional safety communication profiles for
family 1 as follows, where the [xx] notation indicates the holder of the patent right:
US 6,999,824 [FF] System and method for implementing safety
instrumented systems in a fieldbus architecture
IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of these patent rights.
The holders of these patents rights have assured the IEC that they are willing to negotiate licences under
reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world. In this respect, the
statement of the holders of these patent rights are registered with IEC.

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 61158 fieldbus standard together with its companion standards IEC 61784-1 and
IEC 61784-2 defines a set of communication protocols that enable distributed control of
automation applications. Fieldbus technology is now considered well accepted and well
proven. Thus many fieldbus enhancements are emerging, addressing not yet standardized
areas such as real time, safety-related and security-related applications.
This standard explains the relevant principles for functional safety communications with
reference to IEC 61508 series and specifies several safety communication layers (profiles and
corresponding protocols) based on the communication profiles and protocol layers of
IEC 61784-1, IEC 61784-2 and the IEC 61158 series. It does not cover electrical safety and
intrinsic safety aspects.
Figure 1 shows the relationships between this standard and relevant safety and fieldbus
standards in a machinery environment.

Safety communication layers which are implemented as parts of safety-related systems
according to IEC 61508 series provide the necessary confidence in the transportation of
messages (information) between two or more participants on a fieldbus in a safety-related
system, or sufficient confidence of safe behaviour in the event of fieldbus errors or failures.
Safety communication layers specified in this standard do this in such a way that a fieldbus
can be used for applications requiring functional safety up to the Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
specified by its corresponding functional safety communication profile.
The resulting SIL claim of a system depends on the implementation of the selected functional
safety communication profile within this system – implementation of a functional safety
communication profile in a standard device is not sufficient to qualify it as a safety device.

related data communications, including possible transmission faults, remedial
measures and considerations affecting data integrity;
⎯ individual description of functional safety profiles for several communication profile
families in IEC 61784-1 and IEC 61784-2;
⎯ safety layer extensions to the communication service and protocols sections of the
IEC 61158 series.

Part 3-1: Functional safety fieldbuses – Additional specifications
for CPF 1
1 Scope
This part of the IEC 61784-3 series specifies a safety communication layer (services and
protocol) based on CPF 1 of IEC 61784-1 and IEC 61158 Type 1 and 9. It identifies the
principles for functional safety communications defined in IEC 61784-3 that are relevant for
this safety communication layer.
NOTE 1 It does not cover electrical safety and intrinsic safety aspects. Electrical safety relates to hazards such
as electrical shock. Intrinsic safety relates to hazards associated with potentially explosive atmospheres.
This part defines mechanisms for the transmission of safety-relevant messages among
participants within a distributed network using fieldbus technology in accordance with the
requirements of IEC 61508 series for functional safety. These mechanisms may be used in
various industrial applications such as process control, manufacturing automation and
machinery.
This part provides guidelines for both developers and assessors of compliant devices and
systems.
NOTE 2 The resulting SIL claim of a system depends on the implementation of the selected functional safety
communication profile within this system – implementation of a functional safety communication profile according to
this part in a standard device is not sufficient to qualify it as a safety device.
