VDI 4201 Blatt 2:2013-11

This standard specifies the specific requirements for the realisation of a digital interface on the basis of the Profibus profile. It details the general performance criteria on digital interfaces for data exchange between automated measuring and electronic data evaluation systems for monitoring emissions specified in the standard VDI 4201 Part 1. The requirements of this standard together with the requirements of VDI 4201 Part 1 form a evaluation criteria in performance tests of automated measuring and electronic data evaluation systems equipped with digital interfaces on the basis of the Profibus profile. This standard meets together with standard VDI 4201 Part 1 the requirements of the Uniform Practice in Monitoring Emissions (Bundeseinheitlichen Praxis bei der Überwachung der Emissionen) and of DIN EN 15267-3 with respect to a complete description of the digital interface in the relevant standards. This standard may be applied only in conjunction with standard VDI 4201 Part 2. This standard is addressed to manufactures of automated measuring and electronic data evaluation systems for monitoring emissions, to test institutes performing performance tests of such systems, and to the authorities responsible for the declaration of suitability. Furthermore, it assists users of performance-tested systems for monitoring emissions in the operation of these systems.
