Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Device profiles for networked industrial devices -- Part 1: General rules for the development of device profiles

The IEC 61915 series is intended to improve interoperability of devices, network tools and
application software. This part of IEC 61915 defines a framework for common representation of networked industrial devices and provides a template for documenting such a representation, independent of the network used. This framework follows the principles given in IEC/TR 62390, the “Common automation device – Profile guideline”, and refers to ISO 15745, “Industrial automation systems and integration – Open systems application integration framework”.
NOTE 1 The device profile format specified in this part of IEC 61915 is compatible with devices connected to both bit- and byte-oriented networks. This part of IEC 61915 applies to root device profiles, generic device profiles, and specific device profiles. The root device profiles will be published in subsequent parts of the IEC 61915 series.
NOTE 2 This International Standard is specifically intended for products covered by the IEC 60947 series. NOTE 3 Organisations such as consortia are encouraged to use the rules defined in this part of IEC 61915 to develop generic device profiles for use within their own organisations. Users (product manufacturers and other organizations) should use the root device profiles together with the rules defined in this part of IEC 61915. This part of IEC 61915 allows users to make extensions to the root device profiles and/or generic device profiles. Where no suitable root device profile exists, the user may develop generic or specific device profiles using the rules defined in this part of IEC 61915. This part of IEC 61915 recommends the use of a profile exchange language for representation of the device profile information in order to facilitate the profile’s use by network tools and application software.

La série CEI 61915 est destinée à améliorer l'interopérabilité des appareils, des outils associés aux réseaux et des logiciels d'application. La présente partie de la CEI 61915 définit un cadre pour une représentation commune des appareils industriels mis en réseau, et fournit un modèle pour documenter une telle représentation, indépendante du réseau utilisé. Ce cadre suit les principes donnés dans CEI/TR 62390 'Common automation device - Profile guideline' et fait référence à l'ISO 15745 'Systèmes d'automatisation industrielle et intégration - Cadres d'intégration d'application pour les systèmes ouverts'. Cette première édition annule et remplace la spécification technique CEI/TS 61915 publiée en 2003. Elle a désormais le statut de norme internationale.

Part 1: General rules for the development of device profiles


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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 61915-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 17B: Low-voltage
switchgear and controlgear, of IEC technical committee 17: Switchgear and controlgear.
This first edition cancels and replaces the IEC/TS 61915 technical specification published in
2003. It now has the status of an International Standard.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
17B/1575/FDIS 17B/1583/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
