Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems - Digital interfaces - Part 450: Multiple talkers and multiple listeners - Light-weight ship systems interconnection

This part of IEC 61162 specifies interface requirements and methods of test for high speed communication between shipboard navigation and radiocommunication equipment as well as between such systems and other ship systems that need to communicate with navigation and radio-communication equipment. This part of IEC 61162 is based on the application of an appropriate suite of existing international standards to provide a framework for implementing data transfer between devices on a shipboard Ethernet network. This standard provides a higher speed and higher capacity alternative to the IEC 61162-1 and IEC 61162-2 standards while retaining these standards’ basic data format. This standard provides a higher data capacity than IEC 61162-3. This standard specifies an Ethernet based bus type network where any listener may receive messages from any sender with the following properties. - This standard includes provisions for multicast distribution of information formatted according to IEC 61162-1, for example position fixes and other measurements, as well as provisions for transmission of general data blocks (binary image), for example between radar and VDR. - This standard is limited to protocols for equipment (Network nodes) connected to a single Ethernet network consisting only of OSI level one or two devices and cables (Network infrastructure). - This standard provides requirements only for equipment interfaces. By specifying protocols for transmission of IEC 61162-1 sentences and general binary image data these requirements will guarantee interoperability between equipment implementing this standard as well as a certain level of safe behaviour of the equipment itself. - This standard permits equipment using other protocols than those specified in this standard to share a network infrastructure provided that it is supplied with interfaces which satisfy the requirements described for ONF (see 4.6). - This standard does not contain any system requirements other than the ones that can be inferred from the sum of individual equipment requirements. Thus, to ascertain system properties that cannot be derived from equipment requirements alone, additional analysis or standards will be required. In particular, this applies to requirements to maintain system functionality in the face of a single point failure in equipment or networks. Informative Annex D contains guidance on how to address such issues.

Pomorska navigacijska in radiokomunikacijska oprema in sistemi - Digitalni vmesniki - 450. del: Več govorcev in poslušalcev - Medsebojna povezava lažjih ladijskih sistemov

Ta del IEC 61162 določa zahteve za vmesnike in metode preskušanja visokohitrostne komunikacije med navigacijo na ladji in radiokomunikacijsko opremo ter med takimi sistemi in drugimi ladijskimi sistemi, ki so povezani z navigacijsko in radiokomunikacijsko opremo. Ta del IEC 61162 temelji na uporabi ustrezne zbirke obstoječih mednarodnih standardov in zagotavlja okvir za izvedbo prenosa podatkov med napravami v eternetnem omrežju na ladji. Ta standard navaja alternativo z večjo hitrostjo in večjo zmogljivostjo kot standarda IEC 61162-1 in IEC 61162-2, hkrati pa ohranja osnovni format podatkov iz teh standardov. Ta standard zagotavlja večjo zmogljivost za podatke kot IEC 61162-3. Ta standard določa na eternetu nameščeno omrežje z vodili, kjer lahko vsak poslušalec sprejema sporočila od katerega koli pošiljatelja z naslednjimi lastnostmi. - Ta standard vključuje določbe za večvrstno distribucijo informacij, formatiranih v skladu z IEC 61162-1, na primer pozicijskih navigacijskih točk in druge meritve, ter določbe za prenos splošnih podatkovnih sklopov (binarna slika), na primer med radarjem in VDR. - Ta standard je omejen na protokole za opremo (omrežne vozle), povezane z enojnim eternetnim omrežjem, sestavljenim iz samo ene ravni OSI ali dveh naprav in kablov (omrežna infrastruktura). - Ta standard podaja zahteve samo za vmesnike za opremo. Z določitvijo protokolov za prenos zaporedij IEC 61162-1 in splošnih podatkov binarnih slik te zahteve zagotavljajo medobratovalnost med opremo, ki izvaja ta standard, in določeno raven varnega vedenja same opreme. - Ta standard omogoča, da si oprema, ki uporablja protokole, ki niso določeni v tem standardu, deli omrežno infrastrukturo, pod pogojem, da je na voljo z vmesniki, ki ustrezajo zahtevam, opisanim za ONF (glej 4.6). - Ta standard ne vsebuje sistemskih zahtev, razen tistih, ki se lahko ugotovijo iz vsote posamičnih zahtev za opremo. Za zagotavljanje sistemskih lastnostih, ki jih ni mogoče izpeljati iz zahtev za opremo, je potrebna dodatna analiza ali standardi. Še zlasti to velja za zahteve za vzdrževanje funkcionalnosti sistema pri enotočkovni odpovedi opreme ali omrežij. Informativni dodatek D vsebuje vodilo o obravnavi takih težav.

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 61162-450 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 80: Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 80/615/FDIS 80/621/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. SIST EN 61162-450:2011

transformed into an International standard, • reconfirmed, • withdrawn, • replaced by a revised edition, or • amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.
