What is BS EN 62734 - Wireless communication network and communication profiles about?
BS EN 62734 discusses industrial networks with a focus on the wireless communication network and communication profiles. BS EN 62734 specifies a method of reliable and secure wireless operation for non-critical monitoring, alerting, supervisory control, open loop control, and closed loop control applications.
BS EN 62734 specifies the following:
- Physical layer service definition and protocol specification
- Data-link layer service definition and protocol specification
- Network layer service definition and protocol specification
- Transport layer service definition and protocol specification
- Application layer service definition and protocol specification, including support for protocol tunneling and gateways
- Security and security management
- Provisioning and configuration
- Network management
- Additive communication role profiles (i.e., one or more can be selected concurrently)
Who is BS EN 62734 - Wireless communication network and communication profiles for?
BS EN 62734 on the wireless communication network and communication profiles are useful for:
- Wireless communication providers
- Telecom companies
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 62734 - Wireless communication network and communication profiles?
BS EN 62734 provides specifications in accordance with the OSI Basic Reference Model, ISO/IEC 7498–1, (e.g., PhL, DL, etc.), and also provides security and management (including network and device configuration) specifications for wireless devices for fixed, portable, and moving devices. BS EN 62734 is intended to provide reliable and secure wireless operation for non-critical monitoring, alerting, supervisory control, open loop control, and closed loop control applications. BS EN 62734 defines a protocol suite, including system management, gateway considerations, and security specifications, for low-data-rate wireless connectivity with fixed, portable, and slowly-moving devices, often operating under severe energy and power constraints. The application focus is the performance needs of process automation monitoring and control where end-to-end communication latencies on the order of at least 100 ms is tolerated.
