Foreword

The interface system on which this standard is based was developed by the ESONE Committee of European Laboratories with the collaboration of the NIM Committee of the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA). This Standard is based on ERDA Reports TID-25875, July 1972 (corresponding to ESONE Report EUR 4100e) and TID-25877. The mandatory features and the dimensions in this document are identical (see note) to those in the reports mentioned above and in Publications 482 and 516 of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

This standard was reviewed and balloted by the Nuclear Instruments and Detectors Committee of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society . Because of the broad applicability of this instrumentation and interface system, coordination was established with numerous IEEE Societies, Groups, and Committees, including the Communications Society, Control Systems Society, Industry Applications Society, Industrial Electronics and Control Instrumentation Group, Instrumentation and Measurement Group, and the Power Generation and Nuclear Power Engineering Committees of the Power Engineering Society. This review and coordination resulted in valuable suggestions that have been incorporated into the standard.
