Nuclear power plants - Instrumentation and control systems important to safety - Data communication in systems performing A functions
IEC 61500:2009 establishes requirements for data communication which is used in systems performing category A functions in nuclear power plants. It covers also interface requirements for data communication of equipment performing category A functions with other systems including those performing category B and C functions and functions not important to safety. This second edition is intended to accomplish the following:
- to change the focus from multiplexed data transmission to data communication;
- to restrict the scope to communication in systems performing category A functions.
Kernkraftwerke - Leittechnik mit sicherheitstechnischer Bedeutung - Datenkommunikation in Systemen, die Kategorie-A-Funktionen ausführen
Centrales nucléaires de puissance - Instrumentation et systèmes contrôle-commande importants pour la sûreté - Communication de données dans les systèmes réalisant des fonctions de catégorie A
La CEI 61500:2009 établit des exigences applicables à la communication de données assurée pour des systèmes réalisant des fonctions de catégorie A dans les centrales nucléaires de puissance. Cela comprend aussi les exigences relatives aux interfaces des équipements de communication de données assurant des fonctions de catégorie A, avec les autres systèmes y compris ceux qui assurent des fonctions de catégories B et C, ainsi que des fonctions non importantes pour la sûreté. L'objectif de cette deuxième édition est de:
- modifier le sujet et passer de la transmission multiplexée de données à la communication de données,
- de restreindre le domaine à la communication au sein des systèmes réalisant des fonctions de catégories A.
Jedrske elektrarne - Merilna in nadzorna oprema za zagotavljanje varnosti - Podatkovne komunikacije v sistemih, ki izvajajo funkcije A
IEC 61500:2009 vzpostavlja zahteve za podatkovno komunikacijo, ki se uporablja v sistemih, ki izvajajo funkcije kategorije A v jedrskih elektrarnah. Zajema tudi zahteve za vmesnike za podatkovno komunikacijo opreme, ki izvaja funkcije kategorije A, z drugimi sistemi, vključno s tistimi, ki izvajajo funkcije kategorije B in C, ki niso pomembne za zagotavljanje varnosti. S to drugo izdajo želimo doseči naslednje:
- spremeniti osredotočenost s prenosa multipleksiranih podatkov na podatkovno komunikacijo;
- omejiti obseg uporabe na komunikacijo v sistemih, ki izvajajo funkcije kategorije A.

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 61500 has been prepared by subcommittee 45A: Instrumentation
and control of nuclear facilities, of IEC technical committee 45: Nuclear instrumentation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1996. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
The revision of the standard is intended to accomplish the following:
• To change the focus from multiplexed data transmission to data communication
• To restrict the scope to communication in systems performing category A functions
• To clarify definitions
• To up-date the reference to new standards published since the first issue.

INTRODUCTION
a) Technical background, main issues and organization of the standard
The equipment for data communication of on-line plant data can simplify the hardwired cables
connecting distributed systems for instrumentation, control, protection and monitoring needed
for safe Nuclear Power Plants operation. Such communication systems can have advantages
over direct cables, for electrical isolation, for reduction of cable fire loads or other reasons. In
a distributed computer based system, communication equipment is an essential part of the
system. Data communication is usually essential for implementing I&C systems important to
safety in nuclear power plants.
It is intended that the standard be used by operators of NPPs (utilities), manufacturers of data
communication equipment, systems evaluators and by licensors.
b) Situation of the current standard in the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series
IEC 61500 is the third level IEC SC 45A document tackling the generic issue of data
communication for equipment performing category A functions.
IEC 61500 is to be read in association with IEC 61513, which is the appropriate IEC SC 45A
document providing guidance on general requirements for instrumentation and control
systems important to safety, IEC 60880, which is the appropriate IEC SC 45A document
providing guidance on software aspects for computer based systems performing category A
functions, and IEC 60987 which is the appropriate IEC SC 45A document providing guidance
on hardware aspects for computer based systems .
For more details on the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series, see item d) of this
introduction.
c) Recommendations and limitations regarding the application of the standard
It is important to note that this standard establishes no additional functional requirements for
safety systems.
Aspects for which special recommendations have been provided in this standard are:
• Requirements for data communication within systems performing category A functions.
• Requirements for data communication between divisions of a system performing category
A functions.
• Requirements for data communication of systems performing category A functions with
systems of lower safety importance.
• Reliability requirements for data communication.
To ensure that the standard will continue to be relevant in future years, emphasis is placed on
principles, rather than on specific technologies.
d) Description of the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series and relationships
with other IEC documents and other bodies’ documents (IAEA, ISO)
The top-level document of the IEC SC 45A standard series is IEC 61513. It provides general
requirements for I&C systems and equipment that are used to perform functions important to
safety in NPPs. IEC 61513 structures the IEC SC 45A standard series.
IEC 61513 refers directly to other IEC SC 45A standards for general topics related to
categorization of functions and classification of systems, qualification, separation of systems,
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST EN 61500:2011
– 6 – 61500 © IEC:2009
defense against common cause failure, software aspects of computer-based systems,
hardware aspects of computer-based systems, and control room design. The standards
referenced directly at this second level should be considered together with IEC 61513 as a
consistent document set.
At a third level, IEC SC 45A standards not directly referenced by IEC 61513 are standards
related to specific equipment, technical methods, or specific activities. Usually these
documents, which make reference to second-level documents for general topics, can be used
on their own.
A fourth level extending the IEC SC 45A standard series, corresponds to the technical reports
which are not normative.
IEC 61513 has adopted a presentation format similar to the basic safety publication
IEC 61508 with an overall safety life-cycle framework and a system life-cycle framework and
provides an interpretation of the general requirements of IEC 61508-1, IEC 61508-2 and
IEC 61508-4, for the nuclear application sector. Compliance with IEC 61513 will facilitate
consistency with the requirements of IEC 61508 as they have been interpreted for the nuclear
industry. In this framework, IEC 60880 and IEC 62138 correspond to IEC 61508-3 for the
nuclear application sector.
IEC 61513 refers to ISO as well as to IAEA GS-R-3 for topics related to quality assurance
(QA).
The IEC SC 45A standards series consistently implements and details the principles and
basic safety aspects provided in the IAEA code on the safety of NPPs and in the IAEA safety
series, in particular the Requirements NS-R-1, establishing safety requirements related to the
design of nuclear power plants, and the Safety Guide NS-G-1.3 dealing with instrumentation
and control systems important to safety in nuclear power plants. The terminology and
definitions used by SC 45A standards are consistent with those used by the IAEA.
