This part of the IEC 61784-3 series explains some common principles than can be used in the
transmission of safety-relevant messages among participants within a distributed network
using fieldbus technology in accordance with the requirements of IEC 61508 series1 for
functional safety. These principles can be used in various industrial applications such as
process control, manufacturing automation and machinery.
