CSA Preface

This is the first edition of CSA C22.2 No. 60079-47, Explosive atmospheres — Part 47: Equipment protection by 2-wire intrinsically safe Ethernet concept (2-WISE), which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Technical Specification 60079-47 (first edition, 2021-02). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code. For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as “CSA C22.2 No. 60079-47” throughout. This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CSA C22.2 No. 60079-0, Explosive atmospheres — Part 0: Equipment — General requirements. This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. The Technical Specification was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Integrated Committee on Hazardous Location Products, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Industrial Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Scope This part of IEC 60079, which is a technical specification, specifies requirements for the construction, marking and documenting of apparatus, systems and installations for use with the 2-Wire Intrinsically Safe Ethernet concept (2-WISE), such as the physical layer specification for 2-Wire Ethernet 10BASE-T1L as defined in IEEE 802.3cg. 2-WISE is a concept for an advanced physical layer (APL), designed to simplify the examination process for intrinsic safety parameters of components and cabling within APL segments. This is achieved by defining universal intrinsic safety parameter limits for APL ports, according to the specific hazardous area requirements and listing a concise set of rules for the segment setup. The requirements for construction and installation of 2-WISE devices and systems are included in IEC 60079-11, IEC 60079-14, and IEC 60079-25, except as modified by this document. Parts of a 2-WISE device can be protected by any Type of Protection listed in IEC 60079-0 appropriate to the EPL for the intended hazardous area. In these circumstances, the requirements of this technical specification apply only to intrinsically safe circuits of the apparatus. Where a requirement of this document conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, IEC 60079-11, IEC 60079-14 or IEC 60079-25, the requirements of this document take precedence.
