Industrial communication networks - Profiles - Part 5-6: Installation of fieldbuses - Installation profiles for CPF 6

IEC 61784-5-6:2018 specifies the installation profiles for CPF 6 (INTERBUS).
This contribution contains a number of related files covering the communication profiles to be used in conjunction with IEC 61918.
This installation profile documents contained herewith provide the installation profiles of the communication profiles (CP) of a specific communication profile family (CPF) by stating which requirements of IEC 61918 fully apply and, where necessary, by supplementing, modifying, or replacing the other requirements. The installation profiles are specified in the annexes. These annexes are read in conjunction with IEC 61918:2018
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) alignment with IEC 61918:2018;
b) addition of new connectors.
