CP 3/6) and IEC 61158 Types 3 and 10. It identifies the principles for functional safety
communications defined in IEC 61784-3 that are relevant for this safety communication layer.
This safety communication layer is intended for implementation in safety devices only.NOTE 1It does not cover electrical safety and intrinsic safety aspects. Electrical safety relates to hazards such as electrical shock. Intrinsic safety relates to hazards associated with potentially explosive atmospheres.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
