INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION

____________
DIGITAL DATA COMMUNICATIONS FOR MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL
Part 3: Profiles for functional safe communications in industrial networks
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, 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.

61918/CD - IEC 2005 9 65C/xxx/CD
INTRODUCTION
The IEC 61158 "fieldbus" standard and its companion standard IEC 61784-1 jointly define
several different communication systems that use both fieldbus and Ethernet to enable
distributed monitoring and control of automation applications. In general, these technologies
are well established and well proven. As for the installation of these communication systems,
end users want consistent installation rules. The several industrial consortia that support
these communication systems provide useful guidelines. This international standard is
provided as a standard reference for the installation guidelines in order to make them
homogeneous and complete as needed. One of the problems to solve is the one created by
the fact that different parts of a large automation site could be provided by suppliers that use
different installation guidelines. This would create a risk that communication systems may not
work properly.
According to a basic user requirement this international standard is prepared in such a way to
be as far as possible independent from specific technologies and to be a guideline, to produce
technical documentation for easy and clear use by technicians who not necessarily are fully
skilled in fieldbus technologies. According to another basic user requirement this international
standard covers all the life cycle of an installation, from the planning to the implementation
and verification of the wiring system and also the maintenance, the troubleshooting and the
reengineering of the installation.
As showed in Figure 1 the standard is composed of:
A Media Installation Specification, where items and aspects needed for installation and
maintenance of media for the communication profile families (CPF), as defined in IEC
61784 Part 1 (based on Ethernet and fieldbus), and in the parts of IEC 61784 currently
under consideration 1, are specified in details.
This document is composed of the following clauses, each one devoted to one of the
phases of the installation lifecycle and to the relevant organisation (the planner, the
installer, etc.):
o Clause 4: Installation planning
o Clause 5: Installation implementation
o Clause 6: Installation verification
o Clause 7: Installation administration and maintenance
o Clause 8: Installation troubleshooting.
Each of these clauses is organized in such a way to provide requirements that are in
common for all the fieldbus and then provide a profile for each treated fieldbus, where also
available additional options, if any, are described. Not every CPF of IEC 61784 is currently
covered by the standard.
A number of Installation guidelines that are Informative Annexes to the document. Each
annex covers one of the CPF treated in the Specification document. The Installation
Specification document in large part defines its requirements by making reference to other
standards. The Annexes have the goal to make explicit and immediately usable all the
necessary information. A first Annex is used to provide a first part common for all the
guidelines.

Figure 1 Composition of the standard
In developing this international standard the following strategic approach was adopted: to
harmonise the approaches of the several user and constructor industrial groups and to
complement them with the missing information.
Cooperation with IPTG (Industrial Premises Task Group) of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC25/WG3 results
in a synchronisation of this international standard answering the industrial automation needs
with the standard requirements defined in ISO/IEC24702.

61918/CD - IEC 2005 11 65C/xxx/CD
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies profiles covering installation for fieldbus communications
media within and between the Automation Islands, of industrial sites. It covers copper and
optical media. As for the wireless media it may cover systems conforming to IEC 61158-2
Clause 17. Where the media includes options for power transfer to communications entities,
the power options are also specified.
It also covers the Automation Outlet (AO) that is the interface between the Automation Island
network and the generic telecommunication network defined according to generic industrial
wiring for industrial premises specified in ISO/IEC 24702.
This International Standard is a companion standard to the communication systems specified

in IEC61158 and IEC61784.
NOTE - The following clauses are referring to the communication profile families (CPF) as defined in IEC61784.
Note 1- As long as this is confirmed to be the scope of this international standard, it

could be useful to publish this standard as one of the parts of the IEC61784 profile
series. (See Note 2)
NOTE Not every CPF of IEC 61784 is currently covered by the standard.
This International Standard provides guidelines that cope with the critical aspects of the
industrial automation area (topologies, climatic conditions, vibrations, chemical pollution,
EMC, safety, etc.).
It complements existing standard specifications (IEC61158, IEC61784; IEEE 802.3;

IEC11801; EN50173, EN50174, etc.). In particular, it complements generic industrial wiring
specifications where unsuitable (e.g. for network topology, for enhanced shielding and
armouring standards).
Note 2 - The installation aspect for the generic cabling for industrial premises is
currently unallocated. This issue could be solved with an extension of scope of this
international standard. If this extension were decided, it would be more appropriate to
keep the actual IEC61918 numbering (different from IEC61784).

4 Installation planning
4.1 Introduction
Planning applies to all networks operating in the plant (factory) from the interface (TO/AO)
external to automation islands to all internal of Automation Islands and connections among
Automation Islands.
The automation island is shown in Figure 2 as connected to the generic cabling.

An automation Island, as shown in Figure 3, consists of an industrial automation application

using automation island networks and of IT equipment (named apparatus in the Figure) not
connected to the automation island networks. Interconnection among automation islands is as
shown in the Figure for Automation Island network 1 and Automation Island network 2.

However, the interconnection may be also as between Automation Island network 1 and
Automation Island network 3. But in either case the requirements for the connections between
Automation Islands have to be in accordance with the requirements for the Automation
Islands as defined by this standard.
61918/CD - IEC 2005 21 65C/xxx/CD
Figure 3 shows also the connection of IT equipment (apparatus) to the generic cabling.
This clause addresses two basic principles of planning goals: safety and communication
performance.
The input for the planning depends on the kind of application. This input is provided by design
drawings and functional descriptions for machines. It is provided by P&ID for the process
installations.
Installation planning is the prerequisite for the physical installation of industrial

communications network. The structure given in Figure 3 applies.
As for the environmental conditions the MICE (Mechanical, Ingress, Climatic and
Electromagnetic) methodology for description of environmental performance described in
ISO/IEC 24702 applies. Specific of industrial cabling is the presence of low and medium high
voltage power networks in close neighbourhood of the communication network. The RF
influence of neighboured high power transmitters (e.g.: TV transmitters) has to be taken into
account.
A second important aspect is that communication cables and devices may be installed with
respectively open accessible terminals and wires. Local and national regulations concerning
protection against electrical shock apply. Otherwise IEC 60364 concerning protection against
electrical shock and EMC requirements apply.
Project engineering of the networks has to start with basic requirements of safety,
environmental conditions and EMC. This is Step 1.
Step 2 concerns the transmission capabilities of the different communication profile families
(CPF). It starts with the topologies. This standard proposes tables in clause 4.3.2 that define
the characteristics of the transmission capabilities that are used for the CPF.
Step 3 concerns the component selection (bill of material). The component selection has to
be seen in correlation with design values of step 1 and 2.
The results of the planning phase (Steps 1, 2, and 3) are the following documents:
a) Statement how the design complies with the electrical safety, environmental conditions,
and EMC requirements. Checklist signed by the responsible designer. All necessary plans
and lists for the installation.
b) Documentation of the chosen topology, its geometrical extension and transmission

performances of the components.
c) Bill of material stating the compliance of the component data with the electrical safety,
environmental conditions, and EMC requirements.
d) The table for nominal and actual comparison of network performance values.
4.2 Design Requirements [= Planning step1]
4.2.1 Basic requirements
If no requirements of local or national regulations for the erection of electrical or

communication networks exist IEC 60364 apply. This latter has the status of a basic safety
publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

61918/CD - IEC 2005 22 65C/xxx/CD
4.2.2 Safety requirements

Requirement 1 (Safety against electrical shock)

communication networks exist, the configuration of the LV power distribution system shall
comply with IEC 60364-1 312.2.1 TN S systems, i.e. grounded by bonding of bodies with
separated conductors for neutral (N) and protection earth (PE). Equipotential properties of
ground and protection earth are required.
In case that the requirement cannot be complied with directly, the planner has to provide a
test verification covering the complete communications network that has to be documented in
the installations report.
Additional data on this test verification will be provided in next CD
Compliance has to be confirmed by the planner.
Requirement 2 (SELV)

communication exist compliance to IEC 60364-4-41 Electrical installations of buildings - Part
4-41: Protection for safety - protection against electric shock is mandatory.
Requirement 3 (declaration of conformance/certification)
The documentation of the electrical equipment connected to the network has to be provided
complete with a declaration of conformance/certification regarding compliance with standards
listed for requirement 2.
4.2.3 Environmental considerations and EMC
As regards the environmental considerations the MICE methodology apply as far as possible.
The MICE concept is a systematic method of describing environments. The MICE Table 1
classifies the industrial area into 3 environmental levels, MICE 1, MICE 2 and MICE 3. A
MICE level 3 is the most harsh while MICE 1 is equivalent to most commercial building
environments.

The MICE concept is provided for the use of planners and installers for determining materials
to be purchased or protection required. Compatibility of components can be met by any
combination of the following three: installation related isolation, e.g.: protection with enclosure
and/or separation (e.g.: physical separation from other components) or enhancement
components (design enhancement of the component parameters; e.g.: by adding a shield)).
The provider of the equipment may provide enhancements to the components reducing the
installation requirements. Figure 5 below attempts to show the reader how the three
(enhancement, isolation and separation) work together to provide a cost effective, technically
feasible solution for a given application.

Cabling components may not be exclusive to one environmental level of MICE. For example
a cabling component may be available from a supplier that is M1, I3, C2 and E1. The
environment may be a M3, ICE1. In this case additional protection for M1 may be required in
the installation practice to protect the component from the harsh M3 environment. The

61918/CD - IEC 2005 25 65C/xxx/CD
additional protection may be in the form of shock mounting or enclosure that converts the
environment from a M3 to a M1 for this specific cabling component.
In a factory environment the noises present wide range of frequencies. In addition, there is a
range of noise coupling mechanisms. Figure 6 is provided as guidance in determining the
frequency range of common noise generating devices that may be in the industrial
environment. One must not forget that a device not only generates harmful fundamental
frequencies, it also generates harmonics that can be just as disruptive to communications
networks. The red bars indicate the additional range caused by the third harmonic.

Table 2 provides general guidance as to the electromagnetic level (E1, E2, E3) for many
common noise-generating devices. The level of the interfering noise is dependant on two
factors; 1) distance and 2) magnitude of the generating device. Therefore the Table 2 is only
provided as a rough guide for determining the possible electromagnetic classification (E1, E2,
E3).

Table 3 indicates the coupling mechanism for each of the interfering devices. This table will
help to guide the designer, installer and troubleshooting personnel in mitigating or correcting
for noise interference. For example, in an environment where a relay contactor is found to
cause interference, the mechanism for noise ingress is coupling through adjacent lines (EFT).
To correct this situation, additional separation should be provided to reduce the magnitude of
coupling.

Information regarding this topic is being developed. It will be provided with the next CD
NOTE. Regulations for safety related CPF require specific attention of mounting and cabling which might be still
more rigorous concerning verification and check. Specific documents for verification may be required.

4.3 Transmission capabilities [= Planning step2]
4.3.1 System topology
The network may be either passive or active. The basic difference between the two is that an
active network is composed of devices which all have at least two network-ports and in which
data transmission is dependent on active elements within the device.
In Figure 8 the basic topologies for passive network are represented. They are:
Bus topology
NOTE - The daisy-chain topology is a bus topology where the spurs have a very short length.

4.4.1 Cable selection
4.4.1.1 Common description
Industrial-purpose cables can be subject to extreme mechanical stress. For instance, the
cables have to survive extreme bending cycles in power chains (drag chains) and festoon
systems. Such cables require special fabrication, which, in turn, may affect the transmission
properties. That is why only shorter transmission paths may be possible when using special
cables. The respective manufacturer's instructions must be observed.
If the equipment location requires the use of special cables and/or connecting elements not
complying with the transmission-related requirements of this specification, the cable/
As for copper cabling based on Ethernet (ISO/IEC 8802-3), the key rule for selection of cables
for industrial applications and applications defined in ISO/IEC 24702 is to satisfy requirements
given in Table 5, as regards minimum cable category, and cable type.
As for copper cabling not based on Ethernet (ISO/IEC 8802-3) there is not a basic rule to be
applied.
As for fiber optical cabling based on Ethernet (ISO/IEC 8802-3), the key rule for selection of
cables for industrial applications and application defined in ISO/IEC 24702 is to satisfy
requirements given in Table 6, as regards cable type.
The following information regarding copper and fiber cables given in Table 7 and Table 8
shall be considered by the planner, the installer and maintenance personnel. Some additional
information that shall be considered by the installer and maintenance personnel are given in
the relevant clauses of this standard.

4.4.2 Connector selection
As a rule, the planner must obtain connectors rated for the intended MICE environment;
failure to do so may cause network instabilities.
Requirements for the connectors are as follows.
Ethernet connectors
As for copper cabling based on Ethernet (ISO/IEC 8802-3), the key rule for selection of
connectors for industrial applications and application defined in ISO/IEC 24702 is to satisfy
requirements given in Table 3, as regards minimum category connecting hardware.
Two points for the A.O. connectors:
a) The connectors selected shall be contained in IEC 61076-3-106.

b) The connectors selected shall be contained in IEC 61918/Ed.1 currently being written by
IECCSC65C/JWG10.
This shall yield a set of connectors common to the two standards listed above in points a) and
b).
In the case of sealed RJ45 connectivity the three variants 1, 4 and 6 in IEC 61076-3-106 are
the connector shells for the AO, replacing the TO of IEC 24702. The installation of the variant
1, 4,or 6 at the AO is dependant on the selected CPF. In addition the M12-4 D coded
connectors described in IEC 61076-2-101-A1 for industrial Ethernet is applicable at the TO
and AO.
NOTE. The above connector variants (1,4 and 6) are reverse compatible with patch cables as defined by ISO/IEC
11801 and ensure a reverse compatibility to IEC 60603-7. Therefore standard test equipment may be used for
network verification and troubleshooting.
Devices and AOs shall be fitted with sockets. Cables and cords shall be fitted with plugs to
interface with devices and AOs.

the cable and connectivity considerations shall be given. Place cabling components in areas
where they are protected from machine movement including tow motors.

4.4.6 Colour coding and labelling
Colour coding and labelling shall be used in the plant (and referred to in the documentation)
in such a way to facilitate the work of inspection and replacement of the network components.
Colour coding provides easy identification between fibre and copper to protect fibre from
damage
Cables and AOs should be labelled in accordance with the system drawings. Labelling of
connectors and/or cables (copper and fibre) should be used for easy identification.
NOTE. See Clause 7 (Installation Administration) for additional information.

4.4.7 Grounding and shielding

The requirements for the planner are being developed in combination with the
requirements for the installer (given in Clause 5).
Ground offsets between cabling end points will induce noise in the cabling system. This is
especially true in screened and shielded cabling systems. Grounding is important to reduce
radiated and conducted interference. Controlling ground currents is extremely important in
reducing interference caused by ground offsets. There are two methods for controlling ground
offsets in a system, 1) installing a grounding mesh that provide an equalpotential building
ground 2) breaking the ground loops in the cabling system by using a single point ground and
a high frequency ground (RC).
Grounding and bonding shall be implemented according to local and national regulations.
Where it is required IEC 60364-4-41 and IEC 60364-5-51 shall apply.
The planner should provide advice to the machine tool builder regarding the grounding
scheme in the facility and to design the grounding of the machine according to the scheme in
the facility.
The planner has to specify how to achieve the quality of grounding that is defined as follows:
The ground impedance (resistance) shall be less than 0,6 ohm measured between any
two points where there are communication devices.
Connection resistance to the ground bus shall be less that 0,005 ohm,
The planner shall require that during the installation:
Any paint from ground surface has to be cleaned before affixing the ground wire.
Star washers between the bolt and ground lug and ground lug and ground plate have
to be used.

61918/CD - IEC 2005 36 65C/xxx/CD
4.4.7.2 Design of installation with grounded reference voltage
Equipment is normally arranged as a grounded system, whereby the ground of the power feed
is connected to the functional ground over a large area (Figure 10). As shown in Figure 11 the
shield of the bus cable is connected to the potential equalization system over a large area
where it enters the control cabinet. The potential equalization rail is grounded in each control
cabinet and connected to the potential equalization rails of the other control cabinets.

4.4.7.3 Design of an installation with non-grounded reference voltage
In exceptional circumstances, equipment can be arranged as a non-grounded system. This

can be necessary if high short-circuit currents can occur (induction furnaces, etc.). In a non-
61918/CD - IEC 2005 37 65C/xxx/CD
grounded system, it is necessary to provide an insulation-monitoring device with a voltage

limiter (Figure 12). The term "non-grounded" is also used if an R/C circuit is fitted between
ground and PE. Many devices are fitted with an R/C circuit of this type to improve the
interference immunity. This should be considered when choosing the earth-leakage monitor.
In addition, the non-grounded arrangement ensures that uncontrolled equalization currents do
not destroy devices on the bus. The relevant safety regulations must be observed.

4.4.7.4 Grounding and bonding
4.4.7.4.1 Equipotential bonding system (highly meshed)
According to EN 50310 buildings with information-related systems are to be fitted with a

common bonding network (CBN) consisting of the closest-knit structure possible of conductive
elements. This spreads the flow of interference over so many paths that it avoids any
overload to any individual junction. The equipotential bonding system always is grounded as
shown in Figure 13 Figure 14 Figure 15
Plant
Equipotential bonding of plant
Equipotential bonding of building

61918/CD - IEC 2005 38 65C/xxx/CD
Figure 13 Equipotential bonding of a building
The shielding of metallic data cables forms conductor loops together with the ground leads of
the electrical installations or possibly with other electrically conductive building sections.
Currents flowing in the environment, e.g. caused by electrical consumers or lightning strikes,
induce interference voltage in these conductor loops. The resulting current flow must be
controlled by an equipotential bonding system to such an extent that it does not cause any
interference or destruction.

Figure 15 Equipotential bonding and grounding
Situations where interference can present a problem include:
Plant which extends over a large area

Power is fed to the plant from different power sources
Networking extends over several buildings
If one of these situations applies, the following should be observed by the planner and
specified for the installer in order to provide an EMC-favourable grounding and equipotential
bonding system:
A common bonding network (CBN) with low impedance and high current carrying capacity
is to be formed from all metallic constructional components of a building.
61918/CD - IEC 2005 39 65C/xxx/CD
In order to ensure long-term reliability, appropriate measures should be undertaken to

protect equalization cables against corrosion.
The cross-section of the potential equalization cable should be chosen with regard to the
maximum potential equalization currents that can flow.
For safety considerations, there may be national standards to be regarded as well.

NOTE - Safety always takes precedence over EMC.
4.4.7.4.2 Connecting the shielding with the equipotential bonding
Adherence to the standards when installing communication cabling (EN 50174-2) and the
requirements for bonding (EN 50310) is strongly recommended.
4.4.7.4.3 Star / multi-star grounded bonding system

This topic is being defined. Will be updated with next CD.
One method of controlling currents is by wiring the grounds in a star ground configuration.
Further, providing multiple star ground systems is an effective means for controlling ground
currents by separating the communications and high noise generating device grounds from
one another (Figure 16). Daisy chaining of grounds from one cabinet to another shall be
avoided.
If there is no equal potential or the building ground system is not of low impedance or has
excessive noise, then only one end of the cable shield should be terminated. Preferably the
device's end should be open at the connector. The shield should be continuous up to the
connector at the device.

options for bonding system with additional means.

4.4.8 Storage and transportation of cables
4.4.8.1 Common
It is highly recommended that during storage, transportation and laying, delivered data cables
are kept closed at both ends with a shrink cap in order to prevent any oxidation of the
individual wires and the shielding sheath and avoid any collection of moisture in the cable.
4.4.9 Routing of Cables
4.4.9.1 Common
Requirements for cable routing are here described as needed inside enclosures, inside
buildings and outside buildings.
4.4.9.2 Cable routing of assemblies
For an assembly containing a part of the automation system that is designed by the
manufacturer, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to comply with the requirements
given in 4.4.10.
In the case that the planner designs the assembly, it is his responsibility to comply with those
requirements.
In both cases, the minimum requirement is a proper separation of the power terminations from
the communication terminations.
4.4.9.3 Detailed requirements for cable routing inside enclosures

This subclause is being discussed versus the previous subclause.
Lay the cables in metal, electrically conductive cable ducts.
Screw the cable ducts with low impedance and low inductance onto the struts of the frame
or cabinet panelling about every 50 cm.
Separate the cables into individual bundles according to the above-stated categories.
A minimum distance between the bundles of different categories is not necessary for
fulfilling the above-named conditions.
The shielding sheaths of all cables that are fed into a cabinet from outside are to be
bonded with the cabinet ground over a large area at the point of entry into the cabinet
casing.

61918/CD - IEC 2005 41 65C/xxx/CD
The cable shield should continue within the cabinet to the fieldbus device and be
connected there in accordance with the manufacturers instructions
4.4.9.4 Cable routing inside buildings

Cables must be laid on metal, electrically conductive cable racks. The racks must be made
of sheet metal trays and be connected to functional ground at regular intervals. Large-
meshed grating structures are ineffective from an EMC point of view.
Include the metal cable racks in the equipotential bonding system of the building or plant.
Separate the cables according to the above named categories and lay the various
categories on individual racks.
Data cables and low voltage power cables or the individual categories must be separated
from each other by a metal partition if only one mutual metal cable rack is available for
several categories. The connection of the partition to the duct must be low resistance and
low inductance.
As regards the minimum distance among the several cables the information given in
4.4.10 shall be observed.
4.4.9.5 Cable routing outside buildings
In principle, the same rules apply to laying cables outside of buildings as within buildings.
However, for outside installation, the cables should be provided with additional protection by
laying them inside a suitable plastic pipe.
Copper cables for fieldbusses are mainly designed for use within buildings. If copper cabling
is used in areas exposed to over voltage appropriate strokes of lightening (outside buildings)
protection devices are recommended.
The use of optical fibre cables is recommended for connections between buildings and
between buildings and external facilities. Optical fibre cables are insensitive to
electromagnetic influences because of the optical transmission principle. Measures for
equipotential bonding and over voltage protection can be omitted in the case of optical fibre
cables if the cable does not contain any metal, conductive components (power supply wires,
metal foil as moisture protection, metal rodent protection...).
The transition from external to internal cables should always use an auxiliary terminal block. It
is used to interconnect the cable for burial in the ground with the standard bus cable.
Lightning arrestors should be installed directly where the cable enters the building. In
addition, the auxiliary terminal block should contain appropriate circuits to protect against
over voltages (lightning protection).
4.4.9.6 Installing redundant data cables
Redundant cables should always be installed in separate cable routes in order to prevent
simultaneous damage through the same occurrence.
4.4.10 Separation of circuit
In general, requirements regarding relationship between cable circuit types and distances are
as described in Table 12.

4.4.11.1 Common
Connectors and bulkheads should be mounted to protect the connectors against physical

Further cables should be supported to minimize damage to conductors from elongation. In
addition, cables should be protected from liquids and sparks, etc.

5 Installation implementation
5.1 Introduction
Installation shall be accomplished according to planners documentation. It is highly

recommended that:
It is recommended that installation personnel be familiar with this standard before

attempting to install networks covered by this standard
the installer consult the planer (supervision) for advice on any occurring deviation for
example routing with respect to other cables/conductors and high voltage
cables/equipment.
Local conditions and the respective regulations for the implementation have to be kept in
mind.
A minimum distance (see Table in Clause 4.4.10) of the cabling to possible interference
sources (e.g. lights, motors, drive controllers, arc welders) is defined in the relevant
regulations and standards. They have to be observed during planning and installation of any
fieldbus-system.
At installation time care must be taken to minimize stresses such as pull force, twisting and
buckling that can result in permanent cable damage. The following instructions will help you to
avoid damage when installing data cables.
Cables that have been subjected to excess stress for one or more of the aforementioned
reasons should always be replaced.
5.2 Cable installation
5.2.1 Instructions for electrical and optical data cables
5.2.1.1 Storage, installation and handling
The cabling components shall be handled in accordance with the manufacturers requirements.
It is highly recommended that during storage, transportation and laying, delivered data cables
are kept closed at both ends with a shrink cap in order to prevent any oxidation of the
individual wires and the shielding sheath and avoid any collection of moisture in the cable.
5.2.1.2 Protecting data cables against potential mechanical damage
Fieldbus cables should not be subject to mechanical loads that exceed the manufacturers
specifications. If this cannot be avoided, additional protective measures should be taken, e.g.
by laying the cables in a steel pipe or rugged metal duct, cable supports.
Table 13, Table 14, Table 15, and

Data cables are to be laid in continuous enclosed metallic conduits or a steel cable tunnel in
pathway areas of building and machine sections as well in the region of transport routes and
through-ways. The metal pathway shall be grounded at regular intervals to reduce noise
currents in the pathway. The metal pathway and ground connection shall be protected against
corrosion.
Pathway systems shall be designed and installed to eliminate the risk of sharp edges or
corners (e.g. with edge protection means Figure 17 that could damage the cabling installed
within or upon them and to ensure that water or other contaminant liquids cannot collect.
Pathways have to be left clean and free from obstruction with all separators and bridging
pieces in place before the installation of information technology cabling commences. Access
points shall not be obstructed.
Figure 17 Insert edge protector

61918/CD - IEC 2005 47 65C/xxx/CD
NOTE - Redundant cables should always be installed in separate cable routes in order to prevent simultaneous
damage through the same occurrence.
5.2.1.3 Avoid forming loops
Wind the data cable from the cable drum (pay out) tangentially as shown in Figure 18 when
laying or use a suitable rotary table. This avoids loop formation and any resulting buckling
and cable twisting (torsion). The cables must be installed torsion-free.
Figure 18 Use an uncoiling device and avoid forming loops
5.2.1.4 Torsion (twisting)
Torsional stress can result in shifting individual cable construction elements and therefore
may have a negative influence on the electrical properties of the cable. For this reason, data
cables must not be twisted as shown in Figure 19 unless they are specially designed cables
for torsional strain (e.g. robotic applications).
Figure 19 Avoid torsion
5.2.1.5 Bending radius
The permitted bending radius of a data cable must not be undercut at any time. Failure to
observe this could lead to damage or non-permitted restrictions to the specified transmission
characteristics.
Please observe that the permitted bending radii
are greater while pulling in under tensile load than in a resting, installed state
only apply for the flat side when bending flattened cables! Bending over the rounded
side requires much greater radii! The permitted tensile bending radii of your cable can
be found on the manufacturer's data sheet.
61918/CD - IEC 2005 48 65C/xxx/CD
It is recommended to secure cables with cable clips when installed at a right angle and
with proper strain relief as shown in Figure 20
Figure 20 Maintain minimum bending radius
5.2.1.6 Pull force
The tensile strengths acting on the cable must not exceed the maximum tensile strength of
the cable during handling (e.g. rewinding) or when installed. Cables shall not be pulled by the
individual wires or fibres as shown in Figure 21.
The permitted pull force of your cable can be found on the manufacturer's data sheet.
Figure 21 Do not pull by the individual wires
5.2.1.7 Fitting strain relief
Fit a strain relief device at about 1 m distance as shown in Figure 22 to the connecting point
of all cables subject to tensile forces. Cable clamps attached to shielding sheaths are not
sufficient as strain relief!
Figure 22 Use cable clamps with a large (wide) surface

61918/CD - IEC 2005 49 65C/xxx/CD
When securing cable clamps and control cabinet inlets, ensure the cable is not squeezed.
Preferably use plastic fastening elements with a large surface to avoid squeezing. The
fastening elements should have a width of at least 5 mm (0.197 in.) and should be gently
fastened manually.
5.2.1.8 Use Bending Protection
If cables are routed through control cabinets, the bending radius may fall below the
permissible value. It is recommended to use cable glands with strain relieves to protect the
cable (Figure 23). These provide good strain relief for copper and optical fibre cables and
protect the installation from bending radii that are too small.
Figure 23 cable gland with bending protection
5.2.1.9 Installation on Moving Parts
Squeezing and a non-permissible bending radius must be avoided when the cable crosses a
moving part, e.g., a control cabinet door. This can be ensured by additional protection
through, e.g., a secure corrugated tube or a spiral tube (Figure 24). Even if the control cabinet
door is closed, the bending radius must not fall below the permissible value.
Figure 24 Spiral tube
5.2.1.10 Cable Crush
Excess stress on the data cable from pressure, e.g. through crushing as a result of incorrect
fastening and or placement, must also be avoided. Protection of cabling components should
be considered to prevent pinching, crushing and damage due to mechanical forces.
5.2.1.11 Tensile strength (installed)
Data cables must not be subjected to any non-permitted stress when installed. This could be
possible if the cables have been laid on a combined tray or in a joint cable route (insofar as
electrical safety permits this) and new cables are being pulled through at a later date (e.g. for
repairs, extensions).

61918/CD - IEC 2005 50 65C/xxx/CD
5.2.1.12 Additional instructions for the installation of optical fiber cables
5.2.1.12.1 Maximum fiber optic cable lengths
When installing polymer fiber cables, the maximum cable length between two devices must
not be exceeded. Using special cables or optical fiber joints can further reduce cable lengths.
Safe data transmission is ensured up to this length if the cables have been installed correctly.
The maximum cable lengths specified in clause 4 have to be observed.
5.2.1.12.2 Minimum fiber optic cable lengths
When installing fibre optic cables, the minimum cable length between two devices must not be
exceeded. Optical fibre cables below the minimum lengths can result in the receiver being
overdriven.
The minimum cable lengths specified in clause 4 have to be observed.
The properties of a fiber optic transmission system are mainly characterized by:
the power of the optic Interface

the kind of cable used
the quality of installation and the plug configuration
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to observe the cable laying directives to ensure a long-
lasting perfect function of the transmission distance. In addition, the instructions of the cable,
plug connector and device manufacturer have to be observed.
5.2.1.12.3 Use appropriate yarn for pulling
If you install the optical fibre cable using a cable pulling device you must secure the cable
pulling device to the strain relief e.g., appropriate yarn with high tensile strength and low
stretch characteristics. Do not pull the cable by the individual fibres. Do not pull the cable
forcefully if there is a blockage.
5.2.1.12.4 Danger from fibre optic cables
Installation waste must be treated with care and collected in suitable containers (not by hand)
and disposed of through authorized personnel.
Openly accessible fibre ends must be kept away from skin and eyes.
Looking direct into open fibre ends is not deemed safe and should always be avoided.
When viewing the fiber optic connector be sure that the opposite fiber end is disconnected
from the transceiver or light source.
Frames that contain connecting points for fibre optic cabling should be fitted with appropriate
warning signs or texts.
5.2.1.12.5 Keeping plugs clean
Fibre optic cable connectors are sensitive to dirt. Plugs and jacks that are not in use should
be protected by the appropriate dust protection caps.

61918/CD - IEC 2005 51 65C/xxx/CD
5.2.1.12.6 Attenuation change under load
The fibre optic cables must not be twisted, stretched or crushed when installing. For this
reason, the specified limit values for tensile strength, bending radii and temperature ranges
must be observed.
Optical fibre cables should be installed in a separated area of the raceway or as the
uppermost cable. This is to protect optical fibre cables against increased bending and tensile
loads as, for example, when copper cables are replaced in the shared cable raceway.
A slight change in attenuation values is possible during installation. These deviations,

however, are reversible insofar as the load limits have not been exceeded.
5.2.1.12.7 Fitting strain relief
Even if the plugs of the fibre optic cables are fitted with strain relief and buckling protector, its
recommended fitting the fibre optic cable close to the connected device with an additional
strain relief against mechanical strain.
5.2.1.12.8 EMC ruggedness
Optical fibre cables are resistant to electromagnetic influences! This means that laying the
cable in cable ducts together with other cables (e.g. 230 V / 400 V supply cable) is not a
problem. When laying in cable ducts, however, make sure that the permitted strain limits of
the optical fibre cables are not exceeded when pulling through other cables.
5.2.1.12.9 Metal cladded fiber optic cables
Metal cladded fiber optic cables should only be used for direct burial applications. When used
the metal cladding shall be grounded according to local regulations.
5.2.2 Installation and routing

A recommendation is being defined for the installer about how to deal with different
MICE situations, especially regarding EMC, when routing cables.
Recommendation and a table will be inserted in next CD.
The installer should be aware of the following while routing cables:
Always install cables in accordance with the MICE level of the environment
Avoid routing cables too close to high EMI sources such as motors, motor drives, arc
welders, induction heaters, etc.
Avoid routing cables in parallel with other noise carrying conductors
Avoid routing cables through excessive high temperature environments unless the cables
are specifically designed for these environments
Avoid routing cables through wet locations unless the cables are specifically designed for
these areas
Avoid routing cables through aggressive chemicals or gaseous areas unless the cables
are specifically designed for these areas
5.2.2.2 Separation of Circuits
To avoid negative effects on communication based on EMC interference minimum distances

shall be provided between cables of different circuits as defined by the planner according to
requirements given in 4.4.10.

61918/CD - IEC 2005 52 65C/xxx/CD
As regards installing data cables separately, data cables should be laid in a separate cable
duct in combination with other measures for improving EMC properties. If only one combined
cable duct is available, cables of different circuits should at least be bunched together into a
separate bundle and be separated by means of separation webs (Figure 25).
Figure 25 Separate cable raceways
Separation provides a number of advantages:
Improvement of the EMC

Protection of existing cables from damage caused by pulling additional cables in the
pathway.
Easier localisation if troubleshooting becomes necessary

5.3 Connector Installation
5.3.1 Common description

The allowable connectors for the supported fieldbus networks can be found in clause 4.4.2
Obtain the proper installation tools as recommended by the manufacturer.

Prepare the cable and install the connector per the manufacturers instructions
provided with the connector.
When stripping the cable be careful not to cut the insulation of the wire. If you
damage the insulation, cut off the end of the cable and start over.
Be sure to put the shell on the cable before the connector is installed on the cable.
For symmetrical multi-core cables un-twist the wires only enough to facilitate the
installation of the connector. This is important for maintaining system performance in
balanced cabling systems.
Be aware of the colour code and pairing to identify correct placement of conductors
into the connector.

61918/CD - IEC 2005 53 65C/xxx/CD
To be clarified where to put Pin out and colour code for these connectors, whether in
the profile section of this chapter or in an annex or just reference IEC 61158
5.3.2 Shielded connectors
Every effort should be made to maintain a 360 shielding of the conductors up to the shield
contact within the connector.
It is recommended that a shield sleeve be used to terminate the braid on the connector.
Care should be taken not to damage the cable jacket or the conductor by excessive forces at
the strain relieve
NOTE - Only use plug connectors defined in clause 4 and install them according to the manufacturers instructions.

5.8 Grounding and shielding
5.8.1 Common description for grounding
The installer shall apply what specified by the planner out of the alternatives described in
clause 4. Text given in clause 4 clarifies these alternatives for both the planner and the
installer. Key aspects of grounding are:
Grounding or earthing serves to protect personnel and properties against danger from
electrical shock and fire. To avoid these dangers grounding and earthing in accordance
with the national and local regulations should be followed.
This clause deals with grounding and earthing from a performance point of view.
Whenever above two recommendation are in conflict with one another, safety supersedes
in any case
If performance requirements can not be met when observing grounding and earthing rules
alternative media should be considered
As for the grounding of active elements the following requirements apply:
Active elements should preferably be mounted in control cabinets on a DIN-rail. When

mounting on a DIN-rail, additional grounding measures are not necessary if the repeater has
a contact spring at the rear to ensure electrical contact to the DIN-rail. If this method of
61918/CD - IEC 2005 55 65C/xxx/CD
mounting is not possible, or a ground terminal is available the repeater should be grounded
using a low-noise ground bar.
5.8.2 Implementation of installation with grounded reference voltage
The installer applies what defined by the planner and the following directions.
Equipment is normally arranged as a grounded system, whereby the ground of the power feed
is connected to the functional ground over a large area (Figure 26). As shown inFigure 27, the
shield of the bus cable is connected to the potential equalization system over a large area
where it enters the control cabinet. The potential equalization rail is grounded in each control
cabinet and connected to the potential equalization rails of the other control cabinets.

5.8.3 Design of an installation with non-grounded reference voltage
In exceptional circumstances, equipment can be arranged as a non-grounded system. In a

non-grounded system, it is necessary to provide an insulation-monitoring device with a
voltage limiter (Figure 28). The term "non-grounded" is also used if an R/C circuit is fitted
between ground and PE.. The relevant safety regulations must be observed.

5.8.4 Grounding and bonding
5.8.4.1 Equipotential bonding system (highly meshed)
According to EN 50310 buildings with information-related systems are to be fitted with a

common bonding network (CBN) consisting of the closest-knit structure possible of conductive
elements. The equipotential bonding system always is grounded as shown in Figure 29,
Figure 30, and Figure 31
The shielding of metallic data cables forms conductor loops together with the ground leads of
the electrical installations or possibly with other electrically conductive building sections.
Currents flowing in the environment, e.g. caused by electrical consumers or lightning strikes,
induce interference voltage in these conductor loops. The resulting current flow must be
controlled by an equipotential bonding system to such an extent that it does not cause any
interference or destruction.

Situations where interference can present a problem include:

Plant which extends over a large area

Power is fed to the plant from different power sources
Networking extends over several buildings
If one of these situations applies, the following should be observed by the installer in addition
to what is defined by the planner, in order to provide an EMC-favourable grounding and
equipotential bonding system:
The circuit through which interference signals flow must be closed. Therefore the cable
screen should be connected to ground at both ends of the cable.
Each part of the plant must be electrically connected to the potential equalization system/
functional ground at as many places as possible. The main grounding terminal or rail,
grounding conductor, electrically conducting pipes, construction steel, reinforcement rods,
cable trays, parts of machines or supporting structures and any additional equipotential
bonding conductors, should be integrated in the potential equalization system (Figure 32).
Equipotential
b di
Figure 32 Connecting all metal parts to the equipotential system
All inactive metal parts, particularly in the immediate vicinity of automation components
and data cables must be connected with the equipotential bonding system so that good
conductance is achieved. This includes all metal parts of cabinets, construction and
machine parts etc. that do not have any electrical conducting function in the automation
system.
Metallic conductive cable ducts/trays are to be included in the equipotential bonding of the
system and between the individual system sections. In addition, the individual segments of
the ducts/trays must be connected at low inductance and low impedance with each other
and as often as possible with the equipotential bonding system CBN.
Expansion joints and joint connections are to be bridged by flexible grounding strips
(Figure 33). The connections between the individual duct segments must be protected
against corrosion to ensure long-term stability.
Figure 33 Using flexible grounding strips at building edges

61918/CD - IEC 2005 59 65C/xxx/CD
Special care should be taken when installing potential equalization cables to maximize the
interference immunity of the data cables. If possible, the potential equalization cable
should be laid parallel to and as close as possible to the data cable (Figure 34; preferably
in the same plastic pipe). The screen of the data cables should never be used for potential
equalization.
Equipotential
Fieldbus
Figure 34 Laying fieldbus cables in parallel to equipotential cables
The potential equalization cable should be made of copper or galvanized steel (Table 17).
Equipotential bonding conductors should preferably be stranded to ensure that it is also
effective at high frequencies as a result of the large surface area.
Table 17: Equipotential bonding cables cross section
Material cross section

Copper 6 mm
Aluminum 16 mm
Steel 50 mm
The use of fiber optic cable is recommended if problems are experienced with
interference. A low impedance potential equalization cable should be used if this is not
possible.
For safety considerations, there may be national standards to be regarded as well.

NOTE - Safety always takes precedence over EMC.
5.8.4.2 Connecting the shielding with the equipotential bonding
Adherence to the standards when installing communication cabling (EN 50174-2) and the
requirements for bonding (EN 50310) is strongly recommended.
Ensure that the housing of the device and also the control cabinet in which the fieldbus device
is mounted have the same ground potential by providing a large-area metallic contact to
ground (use e.g. galvanized steel to ensure a good connection).
If the above measures are observed, electromagnetic interference is diverted through the
cables shield.

61918/CD - IEC 2005 60 65C/xxx/CD
The following points must be observed when fitting cable shielding:
Establish an all-round contact to the shielded housing when fitting plugs.

Connect shielded cables to the housing (Figure 35) direct at the point of entry and exit of
switch cabinets or housing or connect the cable shield to a shielded/protective conductor
bar (PE bar).
Figure 35 Connecting shielding to the housing
Fasten braided shielding with metal cable clips (Figure 36).

Cable contacts may only be established to copper braided shielding sheaths, not
aluminium foil shielding sheaths which are often also present. The foil-shielding sheath is
usually fastened on one side to a plastic film to increase its tear resistance and is
therefore non-conductive!
Do not damage the cable shielding foils and braids while stripping the outer sheath of the
PROFInet cable.
Tin plated or galvanically stabilized surfaces are ideal for establishing a good contact.
With galvanized surfaces, the necessary contact must be established using a suitable
screw connection. Contact points with painted surfaces are not suitable
Shielding sheath clamps/contacts should not be used as strain relief - unless explicitly
designed for such purpose. The contact could come loose or tear off.

5.8.4.3 Star / multi-star grounded bonding system
This topic is being defined. Will be updated with next CD.
One method of controlling currents is by wiring the grounds in a star ground configuration.
Further, providing multiple star ground systems is an effective means for controlling ground
currents by separating the communications and high noise generating device grounds from
61918/CD - IEC 2005 61 65C/xxx/CD
one another (Figure 37). Daisy chaining of grounds from one cabinet to another shall be
avoided.
If there is no equal potential or the building ground system is not of low impedance or has
excessive noise, then only one end of the cable shield should be terminated. Preferably the
device's end should be open at the connector. The shield should be continuous up to the
connector at the device.
The installer applies the requirements defined by the planner.

6 Installation verification
6.1 Introduction
This section addresses the verification of a newly installed network
This clause is limited to testing and verification of installed links and channels within the
industrial premises including within the Automation Island. The test limits are defined by the
appropriate channel performance classifications. In addition the installation verification
process shall confirm proper grounding and termination of shielded systems. To insure
performance in noise installation verification will verify proper cabling installation with respect
to other noise conductors. Local safety and fire codes are beyond scope of this clause.
Field test methods and interpretation of test data leading to Pass/Fail criteria are described to
verify the installed cabling. Users of this section are advised to consult applications
standards, equipment manufacturers and system integrators to determine the suitability of
these requirements for specific networking applications.
This section contains additional specifications for verification of installed cabling for both fiber
and copper systems. It is not intended to replace or supersede the basic requirements of this
Standard.
The verification procedures described in this section are defined in general terms and are
intended to add clarity to the parameters specified in clause 4 of this International Standard.
It is the intention to describe what has to be measured rather than how to make the
measurements. Making measurements at high frequencies requires some knowledge and
expertise, and often requires specialized tests equipment. The verification procedure may be
different based on which field bus is being verified. In this case use the appropriate
verification procedure.
The purpose of this clause it to provide a systematic step-by-step method of verifying the
cabling performance and the correctness of the installation methods followed during the
installation process. The results will be placed into a report template provided at the end of
this clause.
6.2 Procedure
The procedure shown in Figure 38 is provided to facilitate the network verification process.
6.3 Tools Needed
There are many commercially available tools to help validate the performance of the cabling
system. Test tools should be selected based on field-bus, test coverage and precision
desired.
Other tools follow:

6.4.2 Network Verification Copper Cabling
6.4.2.1 Industrial Ethernet copper based cabling
This section specifies the electrical characteristics of field test instruments, test methods, and
minimum transmission requirements for 100-ohm twisted-pair cabling. The purpose of this
section is to specify transmission performance requirements for 100-ohm twisted-pair cabling
links that are consistent with the two categories of 100-ohm twisted-pair cable and connecting
hardware specified herein. The requirements are targeted towards field-testing of installed
100-ohm twisted-pair cabling links using field test instruments. Field test instrument
characteristics needed for swept/stepped frequency measurements are described to ensure
consistent and reasonably accurate measurements. The frequency range of the tests is
defined in IEC 11801 for the transmission classes A, B, C, D, E and F. Other methods using
frequency domain or time domain measurement techniques that demonstrate equivalency are
acceptable.
The transmission requirements specified herein are applicable to unshielded twisted-pair

(UTP) and screened twisted-pair (ScTP) cabling links consisting of cables and connecting

61918/CD - IEC 2005 64 65C/xxx/CD
hardware specified in this Standard. This section relates to performance with respect to
100-ohm 4-pair UTP and ScTP cabling only. Compliance with this specification does not
imply compatibility with cables having nominal impedance values other than 100-ohm.
6.4.2.1.1 Verification of Channel Performance
Each segment shall be verified to meet the required channel performance prior to placing the
segment into service. The method to be used and channel performance limits may be
dependant on the Field Bus and applications to be supported by the cabling system.
Transmission performance depends on cable characteristics, connecting hardware, patch
cords and cross-connect wiring, the total number of connections, and the care with which they
are installed and maintained. The transmission class performance requirement for each
application is found in clause 4 of this standard and is defined by one or more of the following
standards IEC 11801, IEC 24702, and IEC 61784. The measured transmission performance
shall be better or equal to the minimum acceptable transmission performance for the
supported applications for the respective installation.
The channel test configuration is to be used by system designers and users of data
communications systems to verify the performance of the overall channel. The channel
includes all cabling between the two active devices. The channel definition does not apply to
those cases where the horizontal cabling is cross-connected to the backbone cabling. See
Figure 39 for a schematic representation of a channel.

6.4.2.1.2 Verification of permanent Link Performance
Each segment shall be verified to meet the required link performance prior to placing the link
into service. The method to be used and link performance limits may be dependant on the
Field Bus and applications to be supported by the cabling system.
The permanent link test configuration is to be used by installers and users of data
telecommunications systems to verify the performance of permanently installed cabling. A
schematic representation of the permanent link is illustrated in Figure 40. The permanent link
consists of the fixed cabling between the two jacks and may also include an optional
transition/consolidation point connection. The permanent link excludes both the cable portion
of the field test instrument cord and the connection to the field test instrument.

The primary field test parameters are:
a) Wire map
b) Length
c) Insertion loss
d) Near-end crosstalk (NEXT) loss
e) Power sum near-end crosstalk (PSNEXT) loss
f) Attenuation Crosstalk Ratio (ACR)
g) Power Sum Attenuation Crosstalk Ration (PSACR)
h) Equal-level far-end crosstalk (ELFEXT)
i) Power sum equal-level far-end crosstalk (PSELFEXT)
j) Return loss
k) Propagation delay
l) Delay skew
m) Longitudinal Conversion Loss (LCL) balance
NOTE When testing 2 pair systems, some testers perform the Wire Map function first. If the tester is not
programmed or programmable to ignore pairs 1 and 4 in a 2 pair system the test may terminate with a fault. This
may prevent measurement of the balance of cable pair parameters. It is important to select the proper test
equipment.
Insertion loss, near-end crosstalk loss, equal level far-end crosstalk, and return loss are
derived from swept/stepped frequency measurements or equivalent measurement methods.
A reversed pair occurs when the polarity of one wire pair is reversed at one end of the link
(also called a Tip/Ring reversal). Refer to Figure 41 for an illustration of a reversed pair.

61918/CD - IEC 2005 66 65C/xxx/CD
A transposed pair occurs when the two conductors in a wire pair are connected to the position
for a different pair at the remote connection. Refer to Figure 42 for an illustration of
transposed pairs.
NOTE Pair transpositions are sometimes referred to as crossed pairs.
Split pairs occur when pin-to-pin continuity is maintained, but physical pairs are separated.
Refer to Figure 42 for an illustration of split pairs.
NOTE When testing 2 pair systems, a connector conversion for the cable tester may be needed to support the
M12 connector. In addition this device will need to support 2 pair cables with the correct wiring configuration.
NOTE If cross-connections are used then channel testing is recommended
NOTE Other parameters such as longitudinal balance and longitudinal impedance, which may be of importance to
specific networking applications, are under study.
The above tests shall be performed and the results entered into the verification report.

6.4.4 General Verification of grounding and Bonding
The ground impedance (resistance) must be less than 0.60 ohms between any two points
where there are communications devices. Connection resistance to the ground bus shall be
verified to be less than 0,005 ohm. A suitable DC OHM meter should be used to verify both
limits.
Verify that all grounding and bonding connections are permanent in nature. Permanent
connections are possible either by affixing the grounding conductor to the surface with
hardware requiring standard tools to remove or through a exothermic weld.
Verification with the use of a suitable volt meter or oscilloscope that the resistance or voltage
offset between any to points where communication spans is less than 0.60 ohms or 1 volt
respectively. If distance prohibits this test then visual verification of grounding requirements
should be used in conjunction with verification of resistance measurements at the connection
points. If the above conditions cannot be met, then the grounding system should be corrected
or fibre should be considered.
61918/CD - IEC 2005 68 65C/xxx/CD
This clause applies to all equipment, equipment enclosures and telecommunications rooms.
Proper installation of copper bus bars shall be verified. If isolated from building steel at point
of mounting verify that isolation resistance is > 2 Mega ohm between the bus bar and the
point of mounting. If directly mounted to building steel, verify that resistance is less than
0,005 ohm between the bus-bar and the building steel.
A suitable conductor connecting the bus-bars together shall be used in accordance with local
codes and this specification. Verify proper conductor size and that bonding resistance is not
greater than 0,005 ohm between wire and bus-bar.
NOTE - Grounds shall be in a star configuration or mesh if equalpotential.
6.4.5 Verification of Shield Termination
This clause applies when shielded cables or cables with shielded elements or units are used.
Only basic guidance is provided.
The procedures necessary to provide adequate grounding for both electrical safety and EMC
performance are subject to national and local regulations, are dependent on proper
workmanship, and are at times only accomplished with installation specific engineering. Note
that improper handling of shields may degrade safety and or performance. If the building
ground system cannot be verified or is not suitable different measures must be taken to
reduce ground currents.
When shields must be grounded they must be verified per the requirements of the appropriate
field-bus standard. In the absents of applicable field-bus guidance the connection must be
verified to be less than 0,005 ohm to ground at the place of ground contact.
An expectable shield termination to eliminate ground loops is a single point termination

7 Installation administration and maintenance
Reference to standards dealing with maintenance is needed.
The following text is being harmonized with clause 8.
7.1 General
The operability of a field bus infrastructure is based on an effective administration and

maintenance.
The requirements of this subclause are based on the general requirements for management
systems that are specified in ISO/IEC 14763-1 and EN 50174-1.
Administration and maintenance of the cabling has to consider also the reengineering of the
cabling which includes:
Adding and removing bus segments

Adding and removing connection points including attachment cords, AOs and TOs
7.2 Administration
The administration of a network has to be done along the livecycle of the network. In this
section the term Field bus infrastructure covers both the information-technical cabling as
well as the applications and equipment linked to it.
The basic aspects of administration are highlighted.
The administration covers the following fields:
1) Interface to other systems

2) Names of places
3) Labelling
4) Documentation
5) Working procedures
7.2.1 Basic principles for the administration system
The administration system for the cabling management is to be established in such a way:
1) that it can exchange information with management systems of superordinate systems (e.g.
machine, plant, building) or with subsystems of superordinate systems (e.g. electrical
cabling of a machine or of a building).
2) that the same labelling pattern is used at transmission points to superordinate systems
(e.g. machine, plant, building) or at subsystems of superordinate systems (e.g. electrical
cabling of a machine or of a building).
3) that suitable information of other management systems can be integrated that clearly state
the place of equipment or of the cabling. Its place descriptions are to be taken over into
the system of cabling management.
4) that recordings of the cabling management are to be linked with each other and with
recordings of other building services such as lighting, power supply, heating, and building
plans.
61918/CD - IEC 2005 72 65C/xxx/CD
7.2.2 Working procedures
The operating authority has to establish suitable working procedures at his place as well as at
the contractors place assigned by him. He also has to supervise the keeping of the
procedures which guarantee the quality of the management systems.
Working procedures must be established in such a way to guarantee that the following issues
are covered:
1) The extent and the format of the documentation, which must be available after the
planning, the implementation of installation, the verification, the operation and the
maintenance of the installation, should be fixed in detail.
2) The handing-over of the documentation from the contractor to the operating authority of
the field bus infrastructure must be determined regarding extent and time.
3) The storage of the documentation is to be regulated for a minimum length of time of the
operation of the field bus infrastructure.
4) The documentation of the installed cabling always reflects the actual status along the
lifecycle of the cabling. This means in detail that:
Invalid documentation is marked as such.
Every time a change is made all concerned recordings can be updated in such a way
that incomprehensible multiple updates can be avoided.
Duplicated recordings are marked as such and by indication of the modification
standard.
Duplicated recordings are to be included into the working procedures for updating or to
be marked with a warning notice.
Up to date documentation shall be available to service, maintenance and authorized
personnel.
The time of change is marked in the documentation consider
There should be a defined method for revision control. All documentation should
contain accurate revision lettering.
Changes in documentations with interfaces lead to corresponding changes in the
documentation of the fieldbus infrastructure.
The labelling always corresponds to the state of the documentation.
Requirements to the labelling and marking are determined.
5) The number of the available spare parts, cable, cable sets, connectors, tools, measuring
instruments, test cable, equipment, etc. shall be kept updated.
6) Provided that some necessary information is available in another place, an appropriate
reference to this place is mandatory.
7.2.3 Place designation

1) Every place should be in possession of a clear labelling.
2) All places should be marked at a suitable spot, e.g. area at the entrance.
3) The management system should include each place qualifier that has access to other
information about the room i.g. the kind of place, its situation, cable routings, cable
connection, devices present at this place, connections to other recordings of this building
(power supply, ventilation).
7.2.4 Labelling
All the important components of the cabling system have to be provided with labelling. At a
minimum the cable ends between two active elements shall be labelled in accordance with
owner policies and local regulations. In the case there are not two active connection points,
each cable segment should be identified with labelling
61918/CD - IEC 2005 73 65C/xxx/CD
Labelling has to fulfil the following requirements:
1) Labels are either attached to the component or are part of the component itself.
2) Components get labelled more than one time where it is useful (e.g.: cables have to be
labelled at least at both of their ends).
3) Labels shall be attached in such a manner that they are easily accessible, readable and
changeable.
4) Labels shall be laid out in such a manner that they resist environmental conditions and the
inscription must remain legible during the prospective life span of the cabling.
5) Labelling shall reflect the most current configuration.
6) Documentation, labelling and network configuration shall be consistent.
The content and the format of the labelling have to be specified on the basis of technical and
organizational criteria: the labelling shall contain a clear identification of the labelling.
The labelling should contain:
1) A description of the type of the component

2) A place designation
3) Additional information
Information to the structure and content of the labelling are to be taken up in the
documentation.
Components to be labelled are:
1) Cable:
Every cable should have clear labelling.
All cables should be labelled at least at their ends.
All branch connections should be uniquely identified with a label.
For fibre optic cables with multiple fibres the individual fibres are to be labelled either
by colour coding or by labelling.
2) Connection points:
Each connection point should have a clear labelling. For example a terminal block
should be clearly identified in the documentation and at the terminal block.
3) Grounding and potential equalization
Each element of the grounding and potential equalization should have a clear labelling.
4) Active elements of a network
Every element should have a clear labelling.
5) Cable routing
Every cable routing should have a clear labelling.
7.2.5 Documentation
The documentation of the cabling shall include:
1) System drawing
2) Site plans, building layouts and location drawings which contain the identification and
location of connection points, cable routing, cables, equipment and safety equipments.
3) Schematic diagram and other information which show the electrical connections,
summaries in cables, connection points, connections for equipment, grounding and

61918/CD - IEC 2005 74 65C/xxx/CD
potential equalization. Fieldbus cables are equipped with her length. Each component is
equipped with information about the appropriate marking and place designation.
4) Recordings about entrance examination at the installed cabling, as well as examinations
during the on-line phase. Information is to be added to each examination, i.g. the kind of
measuring device used, date of the measuring, name of the examiner, the qualifier of the
connection point, done measuring in case of examinations that failed and the result of the
repeated measuring.
5) Proof of conformity in relation to the installation specifications by the installation engineer
of the cabling or the contractor.
6) Transfer certification.
7) Other information after requirements.
8) Details about grounding and potential equalization.
9) Recordings about the cable routing with information to the kind of cable routing, places
where cable routing exist, filling and the place of grounding and potential equalization
points.
10) A list of used components with order number of the manufacturer, the type designation of
the field bus organization or the standardized material designations with the respective
quantity and the assigned Labels.
11) A list of required spare parts, cables, cable sets, connectors, tools, measuring
instruments, measuring cables, equipment, etc.
12) Recordings about date of installation, data of inspections, maintenance, servicing,
modernization and exchange of each component.
13) Additional information to grounding and potential equalization systems, i.g. the kind of
element, its place, the connection, the result of grounding tests.
14) Documentation of used components by the manufacturer or supplier.
15) Manufacturer documentation with installation manuals, product specification, maintenance
manuals and training manuals
7.3 Network maintenance
7.3.1 General
A proper maintenance method of fieldbus networks is required to keep MTBF as low as

possible.
The maintenance faces the following sections:
1) Inspection: Measures for the observation and evaluation of the actual condition.
2) Maintenance intervention: Measures for retaining the specified condition.
3) Repair: Measures for the re-establishment of the specified condition.
Only current documentation should be used when performing maintenance tasks. Working
procedures are to be established which guarantee the updating of the documentation after the
execution of the maintenance cycles.
7.3.2 Inspection
The operating authority defines the following points in a working procedure:
1) The frequency of the required inspection.

2) The components that are subject to inspection (e.g. the cabling in use, redundant cabling,
cable routing, cable routing system, grounding system and fire security walls).
3) Procedures, measuring and auxiliary means that are used in checking the components
and determination of pass fail criteria. The component provider or network specification
usually specifies this.
61918/CD - IEC 2005 75 65C/xxx/CD
4) Clear corrective action and troubleshooting procedures should be defined and followed by
maintenance personnel
5) Which measures have to be taken in case the components do not keep the necessary
requirements.
7.3.3 Maintenance intervention
The operating authority defines the following points in a working procedure:
1) The frequency of the required maintenance.

2) The components that are subject to maintenance (e.g. the cabling in use, redundant
cabling, cable routing, cable routing system, grounding system and fire security walls).
3) Procedures, tools and auxiliary means that are used for the maintenance of the
components
4) Which components and auxiliary means have to be used for the maintenance.
5) Which measures have to be taken in case the components do not keep the necessary
requirements?
7.3.4 Repair
A corrective maintenance usually takes place due to a network failure. That is why the
following phases should be considered:
1) Location of cause for network failure. See clause 8 for troubleshooting

2) Correction of network failure
3) Verification of network
4) Update network maintenance cycles, working procedures and documentation.
For the fulfilment of the task the operator should take the following actions in advance:
Action 1.: The operator should request a documentation from the supplier which contains a
guidance for systematic network troubleshooting, e.g. with a checklist or a flow diagram.
Action 2.: The supplier should be consulted on procedures for repair or exchange failed
components. This must be done in consideration of the documentation provided by the
supplier.
Action 3.: The supplier should provide procedures and or documentation for troubleshooting
components.
Action 4.: After a repair has been performed on a failed network, the maintenance personnel
should certify the network in accordance with clause 6 of this document.

61918/CD - IEC 2005 76 65C/xxx/CD
8 Installation Troubleshooting
Reference to standards dealing with troubleshooting is needed.
The following text is being harmonized with clause 7
8.1 General description
The data exchange of process and control data in modern manufacturing plants is mainly
realised with protocols based on fieldbus technology or industrial Ethernet. This clause will
provide guidance in trouble shooting newly installed networks (networks that have failed
verification in clause 6) and networks that have been commissioned and since failed. Devices
may be the cause of the network failures, therefore, this process will aid in localizing network
failures to a device network connector interface. In addition this clause will provide guidance
for troubleshooting degraded network performance.
A proper troubleshooting method for fieldbus networks is required to keep MTTR as low as
possible.
Basically there are two ways to analyse a communication network:
Pro-active: before a failure occurs the communication network is checked on a regular

basis by performing system tests (performance, components, software and infrastructure).
See clause 7 for further advice.
Re-active: reaction when a problem occurs
For different communication networks different measures have to be applied as described in

the following chapters. For all communication networks diagnostic tools are helpful to
maintain and troubleshoot a communication network.
It is strongly recommended to use diagnostic tools (embedded software tools, external

devices, etc.) proposed by the different communication systems.
If components of the network offer diagnostic possibilities, trouble shooting is simplified, e.g.
in industrial Ethernet networks the use of managed switches offers extensive diagnostic
features via SNMP or OPC which can help tremendously in case of a problem.
Localize the fault to what part of the network (logical) is concerned, area of the plant
(geographical) and devices involved.
8.2 Requirements for troubleshooting
8.2.1 Evaluation of the situation
It is recommended that in order to realise an effective troubleshooting the maintenance

personnel begin the process by answering some very important questions. These answers will
help to troubleshoot faster and more effective:
Is the complete network documentation available?

Were there any changes at the network infrastructure in recent time?
How was the problem identified?
Since when is the problem identified?
Was the concerned application already working failure free?
Which users/devices are affected by the problem?
Are there certain time frames when the problem occurs?
61918/CD - IEC 2005 77 65C/xxx/CD
Is the problem reproducible?

Were there already attempts to correct the problem?
This information helps to create a clear picture of the problem and simplify the
troubleshooting of the network.
Furthermore, proper test equipment and spare parts for the specific network should be
available in regards to clause 7.
This subclause will be subject to further consideration
8.2.2 Identification and correction of the problem
8.2.2.1 Troubleshooting procedure
The provider of the network shall establish a written troubleshooting procedure. The
troubleshooting procedure shown in Figure 43 applies if a procedure is not available.
