Standard

IEC 61131-6:2012 specifies requirements for programmable controllers (PLCs) and their associated peripherals, as defined in Part 1, which are intended to be used as the logic subsystem of an electrical/electronic/programmable electronic (E/E/PE) safety-related system. A programmable controller and its associated peripherals complying with the requirements of this part is considered suitable for use in an E/E/PE safety-related system and is identified as a functional safety programmable logic controller (FS-PLC). An FS-PLC is generally a hardware (HW) / software (SW) subsystem.

IEC 61850-5:2013 applies to power utility automation systems with the core part of substation automation systems (SAS); it standardizes the communication between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and defines the related system requirements to be supported. The major technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
- extension from substation automation systems to utility automation systems;
- inclusion of interfaces for communication between substations;
- requirements from communication beyond the boundary of the substation.

IEC/IEEE 61850-9-3:2016(E) specifies a precision time protocol (PTP) profile of IEC 61588:2009 / IEEE Std 1588-2008 applicable to power utility automation, which allows compliance with the highest synchronization classes of IEC 61850-5 and IEC 61869-9.

IEC 61131-5:2000 specifies communication aspects of a programmable controller. It specifies from the viewpoint of a PC how any device can communicate with a PC as a server and how a PC can communicate with any device. In particular, it specifies the behavior of the PC as it provides services on behalf of other devices and the services the PC application program can request from other devices. This bilingual version (2012-08) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in 2000-11.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with the IEC 61131 series.

IEC 61850-10:2012 specifies standard techniques for testing of conformance of client, server and sampled value devices and engineering tools, as well as specific measurement techniques to be applied when declaring performance parameters. The use of these techniques will enhance the ability of the system integrator to integrate IEDs easily, operate IEDs correctly, and support the applications as intended. The major technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
- updates to server device conformance test procedures;

IEC 61869-9:2016 is a product family standard applicable to instrument transformers with digital output. The product standard is composed of IEC 61869-1 and IEC 61869-6, in addition to this standard and the relevant product specific standards in the IEC 61869 series (Part 7, Part 8, Part 12, Part 13, Part 14, and Part 15). This standard defines requirements for digital communications of instrument transformer measurements.

IEC 61131-2:2017 specifies functional and electromagnetic compatibility requirements and related verification tests for any product where the primary purpose is performing the function of industrial control equipment, including PLC and/or PAC, and/or their associated peripherals which have as their intended use the control and command of machines, automated manufacturing and industrial processes, e.g. discrete, batch and continuous control.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2007. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

IEC 61131-3:2013 specifies the syntax and semantics of a unified suite of programming languages for programmable controllers (PCs). This suite consists of two textual languages, Instruction List (IL) and Structured Text (ST), and two graphical languages, Ladder Diagram (LD) and Function Block Diagram (FBD). This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2003 and constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following significant technical changes: It is a compatible extension of the second edition.

Defines a language for the programming of Fuzzy Control applications used by programmable controllers.
