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 61784-2-8 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial networks, of IEC technical
committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and automation. It is an International
Standard.
IEC 61784-2-8:2023 © IEC 2023 – 5 –
This first edition, together with the other parts of the same series, cancels and replaces the
fourth edition of IEC 61784-2 published in 2019. This first edition constitutes a technical
revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
IEC 61784-2:2019:
a) split of the original IEC 61784-2 into several subparts, one subpart for the material of a
generic nature, and one subpart for each Communication Profile Family specified in the
original document;
b) addition of profile CP 8/6.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
65C/1209/FDIS 65C/1237/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement,
available at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by
IEC are described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.
A list of all parts of the IEC 61784-2 series, published under the general title
Industrial networks – Profiles – Part 2: Additional real-time fieldbus profiles based on
ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 61784-2 series provides additional Communication Profiles (CP) to the existing
Communication Profile Families (CPF) of the IEC 61784-1 series and additional CPFs with
one or more CPs. These profiles meet the industrial automation market objective of identifying
Real-Time Ethernet (RTE) communication networks coexisting with ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 –
commonly known as Ethernet. These RTE communication networks use provisions of
ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 for the lower communication stack layers and additionally provide more
predictable and reliable real-time data transfer and means for support of precise
synchronization of automation equipment.
More specifically, these profiles help to correctly state the compliance of RTE communication
networks with ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3, and to avoid the spreading of divergent implementations.
Adoption of Ethernet technology for industrial communication between controllers and even
for communication with field devices promotes the use of Internet technologies in the field
area. This availability would be unacceptable if it causes the loss of features required in the
field area for industrial communication automation networks, such as:
• real-time,
• synchronized actions between field devices like drives,
• efficient, frequent exchange of very small data records.
These new RTE profiles can take advantage of the improvements of Ethernet networks in
terms of transmission bandwidth and network span.
Another implicit but essential requirement is that the typical Ethernet communication
capabilities, as used in the office world, are fully retained, so that the software involved
remains applicable.
The market is in need of several network solutions, each with different performance
characteristics and functional capabilities, matching the diverse application requirements.
RTE performance indicators, whose values will be provided with RTE devices based on
communication profiles specified in the IEC 61784-2 series, enable the user to match network
devices with application-dependent performance requirements of an RTE network.

CPF 8
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61784-2 defines extensions of Communication Profile Family 8 (CPF 8) for
Real-Time Ethernet (RTE). CPF 8 specifies a set of Real-Time Ethernet (RTE) communication
profiles (CPs) and related network components based on the IEC 61158 series (Type 23),
ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 and other standards.
For each RTE communication profile, this document also specifies the relevant RTE
performance indicators and the dependencies between these RTE performance indicators.
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 The RTE communication profiles use ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 communication networks and its related
network components and in some cases amend those standards to obtain RTE features.
NOTE 3 Some CPs of CPF 8 are specified in IEC 61784-1-8.
