Overview

IEC 61784-5-2:2018 (consolidated with Amendment 1, 2024) defines installation profiles for CPF 2 (CIP™) used in industrial communication networks. It specifies how the communication profiles (CP) in CPF 2 - notably ControlNet™ (CP 2/1), EtherNet/IP™ (CP 2/2) and DeviceNet™ (CP 2/3) - shall be installed, tested and maintained by referencing IEC 61918 and by providing annexes that supplement, modify or replace applicable requirements. This edition is a technical revision that includes updates such as referencing ISO/IEC 11801‑3, support material for 1 000 Mb/s 4‑pair Ethernet, and clarifications on dual power supplies.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Installation profiles per CP/CPF: Normative annexes for CP 2/1, CP 2/2 and CP 2/3 cover device- and media-specific installation rules.
• Cabling planning and selection: Guidance on choosing cabling components, drop cables, connectors, shielding and earthing/bonding practices aligned with IEC 61918 conventions.
• Installation implementation: Procedures for cable routing, connector and terminator installation, device mounting, labelling and documentation of “as‑implemented” cabling.
• Verification and acceptance testing: Requirements for installation verification and acceptance tests to validate cabling, connectivity and network capabilities.
• Maintenance and troubleshooting: Recommended administration, maintenance routines and troubleshooting steps specific to each CP.
• Network topologies and extension: Advice on repeaters, star/line/ring topologies, node limits and redundant media configurations.
• Updates and technical changes: Replacement of ISO/IEC 24702 references with ISO/IEC 11801‑3, added tables for 1 000 Mb/s 4‑pair Ethernet, and dual‑power supply clarifications.

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.

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 co

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.
