IEC 62657-2:2017 Released for Wireless Communication Coexistence

Untitled-4The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has released IEC 62657-2:2017. This standard includes Industrial Communication Networks – Wireless communication networks – Part 2: Coexistence management and is now available on the IEC webstore.

Description: “IEC 62657-2:2017,
– specifies the fundamental assumptions, concepts, parameters, and procedures for wireless communication coexistence;
– specifies coexistence parameters and how they are used in an application requiring wireless coexistence;
– provides guidelines, requirements, and best practices for wireless communication’s availability and performance in an industrial automation plant; it covers the life‑cycle of wireless communication coexistence;
– helps the work of all persons involved with the relevant responsibilities to cope with the critical aspects at each phase of life-cycle of the wireless communication coexistence management in an industrial automation plant. Life-cycle aspects include: planning, design, installation, implementation, operation, maintenance, administration and training;
– provides a common point of reference for wireless communication coexistence for industrial automation sites as a homogeneous guideline to help the users assess and gauge their plant efforts;
– deals with the operational aspects of wireless communication coexistence regarding both the static human/tool-organization and the dynamic network self-organization.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

This second edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

A Dash of Maxwell’s: A Maxwell’s Equations Primer – Part Two

Maxwell’s Equations are eloquently simple yet excruciatingly complex. Their first statement by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 heralded the beginning of the age of radio and, one could argue, the age of modern electronics.

a) update of the normative references, terms, definitions, symbols and abbreviations;
b) addition of terms;
c) checking of the life-cycle terms of this document versus the terms used in IEC 62890: and addition of explanations;
d) addition and modification of text to make the text more readable;
e) alignment of some definitions and specifications of coexistence parameters in order to facilitate their future inclusion in the IEC Common Data Dictionary (IEC CDD) maintained by the IEC
