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.
International Standard IEC 61784-5-18 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial
networks, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and
automation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) alignment with IEC 61918:2018;
b) addition of new connector (LC).
This document is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61918:2018.

INTRODUCTION
This International Standard is one of a series produced to facilitate the use of
communication networks in industrial control systems.
IEC 61918:2018 provides the common requirements for the installation of communication
networks in industrial control systems. This installation profile document provides 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 (see Figure 1).
For general background on fieldbuses, their profiles, and relationship between the
installation profiles specified in this document, see IEC 61158-1.
Each CP installation profile is specified in a separate annex of this document. Each annex
is structured exactly as the reference standard IEC 61918 for the benefit of the persons
representing the roles in the fieldbus installation process as defined in IEC 61918 (planner,
installer, verification personnel, validation personnel, maintenance personnel,
administration personnel). By reading the installation profile in conjunction with IEC 61918,
these persons immediately know which requirements are common for the installation of all
CPs and which are modified or replaced. The conventions used to draft this document are
defined in Clause 5.
The provision of the installation profiles in one document for each CPF (for example
IEC 61784-5-18 for CPF 18) allows readers to work with documents of a convenient size.

5 Installation profile conventions
The numbering of the clauses and subclauses in the annex of this document corresponds to
the numbering of IEC 61918 main clauses and subclauses.
The annex clauses and subclauses of this document supplement, modify, or replace the
respective clauses and subclauses in IEC 61918.
Where there is no corresponding subclause of IEC 61918 in the normative annexes in this
document, the subclause of IEC 61918 applies without modification.
The annex heading letter represents the installation profile assigned in Clause 4. The
annex heading number shall represent the corresponding numbering of IEC 61918.
EXAMPLE “Subclause A.4.4” in IEC 61784-5-18 means that CP 18/1 and CP 18/2 specify the Subclause 4.4 of
IEC 61918.
All main clauses of IEC 61918 are cited and apply in full unless otherwise stated in each
normative installation profile annex.
If all subclauses of a (sub)clause are omitted, then the corresponding
IEC 61918 (sub)clause applies.
If in a (sub)clause it is written “Not applicable.”, then the corresponding
IEC 61918 (sub)clause does not apply.
If in a (sub)clause it is written “Addition:”, then the corresponding IEC 61918 (sub)clause
applies with the additions written in the profile.
If in a (sub)clause it is written “Replacement:”, then the text provided in the profile replaces
the text of the corresponding IEC 61918 (sub)clause.
NOTE A replacement can also comprise additions.
If in a (sub)clause it is written “Modification:”, then the corresponding
IEC 61918 (sub)clause applies with the modifications written in the profile.
If all (sub)clauses of a (sub)clause are omitted but in this (sub)clause it is written
“(Sub)clause x has addition:” (or “replacement:”) or “(Sub)clause x is not applicable.”, then
(sub)clause x becomes valid as declared and all the other corresponding
IEC 61918 (sub)clauses apply.
6 Conformance to installation profiles
Each installation profile within this document includes part of IEC 61918:2018. It may also
include defined additional specifications.
2
A statement of compliance to an installation profile of this document shall be stated as
either
Compliance to IEC 61784-5-18:— for CP 18/m or
Compliance to IEC 61784-5-18 (Ed.2.0) for CP 18/m

where the name within the angle brackets < > is optional and the angle brackets are not to
be included. The m within CP 18/m shall be replaced by the profile number 1 to 2.
NOTE The name may be the name of the profile, for example SafetyNET p.
If the name is a trade name, then the permission of the trade name holder shall be required.
Product standards shall not include any conformity assessment aspects (including quality
management provisions), neither normative nor informative, other than provisions for
product testing (evaluation and examination).
