This EN 62439-1:2010 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
EN 62439:2008:
– adding a calculation method for RSTP (rapid spanning tree protocol, IEEE 802.1Q),
– adding two new redundancy protocols: HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy) and DRP
(Distributed Redundancy Protocol),
– moving former Clauses 1 to 4 (introduction, definitions, general aspects) and the Annexes (taxonomy,
availability calculation) to EN 62439-1, which serves now as a base for the other documents,
– moving Clause 5 (MRP) to EN 62439-2 with minor editorial changes,
– moving Clause 6 (PRP) was to EN 62439-3 with minor editorial changes,
– moving Clause 7 (CRP) was to EN 62439-4 with minor editorial changes, and

– adding a method to calculate the maximum recovery time of RSTP in a restricted configuration (ring)
to EN 62439-1 as Clause 8,
– adding specifications of the HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy) protocol, which shares the
principles of PRP to EN 62439-3 as Clause 5, and
– introducing the DRP protocol as EN 62439-6.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
(dop) 2010-12-01
national standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2013-03-01
with the EN have to be withdrawn

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 62439-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial Networks,
of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and automation.
This standard cancels and replaces IEC 62439 published in 2008. This first edition constitutes
a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 62439
(2008):
– adding a calculation method for RSTP (rapid spanning tree protocol, IEEE 802.1Q),
– adding two new redundancy protocols: HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy)
and DRP (Distributed Redundancy Protocol),
– moving former Clauses 1 to 4 (introduction, definitions, general aspects) and the
Annexes (taxonomy, availability calculation) to IEC 62439-1, which serves now as a
base for the other documents,
– moving Clause 5 (MRP) to IEC 62439-2 with minor editorial changes,

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

– moving Clause 6 (PRP) was to IEC 62439-3 with minor editorial changes,
– moving Clause 7 (CRP) was to IEC 62439-4 with minor editorial changes, and
– moving Clause 8 (BRP) was to IEC 62439-5 with minor editorial changes,
– adding a method to calculate the maximum recovery time of RSTP in a restricted

65C/583/FDIS 65C/589/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.
A list of the IEC 62439 series can be found, under the general title Industrial communication
networks – High availability automation networks, on the IEC website.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this amendment and the base publication will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this standard may be issued at a later date.

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 62439 series specifies relevant principles for high availability networks that meet the
requirements for industrial automation networks.
In the fault-free state of the network, the protocols of the IEC 62439 series provide
ISO/IEC 8802-3 (IEEE 802.3) compatible, reliable data communication, and preserve
determinism of real-time data communication. In cases of fault, removal, and insertion of a
component, they provide deterministic recovery times.
These protocols retain fully the typical Ethernet communication capabilities as used in the
office world, so that the software involved remains applicable.
The market is in need of several network solutions, each with different performance
characteristics and functional capabilities, matching diverse application requirements. These
solutions support different redundancy topologies and mechanisms which are introduced in
IEC 62439-1 and specified in the other Parts of the IEC 62439 series. IEC 62439-1 also
distinguishes between the different solutions, giving guidance to the user.
The IEC 62439 series follows the general structure and terms of IEC 61158 series.
