IEC 62439:2008(E) is applicable to high-availability automation networks based on the ISO/IEC 8802-3 (Ethernet) technology. It specifies:
– a classification scheme for network characteristics (see Annex A);
– a methodology for estimating network availability (see Annex B);
– a set of communication protocols that realize high availability automation networks via the use of redundancy and that can be used in a variety of applications.
