Industrial communication networks - Installation of communication networks in industrial premises

IEC 61918:2010 specifies basic requirements for the installation of media for communication networks in industrial premises and within and between the automation islands, of industrial sites. It covers balanced and optical fibre cabling and the cabling infrastructure for wireless media, but not the wireless media itself. Additional media are covered in the IEC 61784-5 series. It also covers:
- the installation of generic telecommunication cabling for industrial premises as specified in ISO/IEC 24702;
- the connection between the generic telecommunications cabling specified in ISO/IEC 24702
- and the specific communication cabling of an automation island, where an automation outlet (AO) replaces the telecommunication outlet (TO) of ISO/IEC 24702.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007 and Corrigendum 1 (2009). It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- 4.4.7.2.1 is updated;
- 4.4.7.3.4 is updated;
- 5.7.4.3 is updated as result of the revision of the installation profiles;
- 6.2.3.1 is updated;
- Figure 2, Figure 15, Table 14 and Table B.3 are updated;
- a new Figure 35 is added;
- a new Table 10 is added;
- Annex D is extended to cover additional communication profile families;
- Annex F is extended to cover conductor sizes in electrical cables;
- Annex H is made normative;
- some common requirements are extended as result of the revision of the installation profiles. This bilingual version (2012-05) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in 2010-07.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with the IEC 61784-5 series and ISO/IEC 14763-2:2012.

Réseaux de communication industriels - Installation de réseaux de communication dans des locaux industriels

La CEI 61918:2010 spécifie les exigences de base pour l'installation d'un support de réseaux de communication dans des locaux industriels et à l'intérieur et entre des îlots d'automatisation de sites industriels. La présente norme couvre le câblage symétrique et à fibres optiques. Elle couvre également l'infrastructure de câblage des supports sans fil, mais pas le support sans fil lui-même. D'autres supports sont couverts par la série CEI 61784-5. Elle couvre aussi:
- l'installation de câblage de télécommunication générique pour les locaux industriels (voir ISO/CEI 24702);
- et la connexion entre le câblage de télécommunication générique spécifié dans l'ISO/CEI 24702;
- et le câblage de communication spécifique d'un îlot d'automatisation, dans laquelle une prise d'automatisation (AO) remplace la prise de télécommunication (TO) de l'ISO/CEI 24702. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition publiée en 2007 et le Corrigendum 1 et constitue une révision technique. Elle inclut les modifications techniques suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- 4.4.7.2.1 mis à jour;
- 4.4.7.3.4 mis à jour;
- 5.7.4.3 mis à jour suite à la révision des profils d'installation;
- 6.2.3.1 mis à jour;
- Figure 2, Figure 15, Tableau 14 et Tableau B.3 mis à jour;
- une nouvelle Figure 35 a été ajoutée;
- un nouveau Tableau 10 a été ajouté;
- l'Annexe D a été étendue pour couvrir des familles de profil de communication supplémentaires;
- l'Annexe F a été étendue pour couvrir les tailles de conducteur dans les câbles électriques;
- l'Annexe H est devenue normative. Certaines exigences communes sont étendues suite à la révision des profils d'installation. La présente version bilingue (2012-05) correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2010-07.
Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la série CEI 61784-5 et l' ISO/IEC 14763-2:2012
