b) Update and expansion of definitions on analog output properties;
c) Expanded performance requirements on analog output;
d) Update and new normative references;
e) Update of EMC requirements;
f) Harmonization with IEC 62828 series;
g) Harmonization with IEC 62683 and IEC 61987 definitions;
h) Harmonization with IEC 61131-2 requirements;
i) Update of the Annex A (former Annex G), Example of the determination of the conformity;
j) New Annex B, Overview tests and influence quantities;
k) New Annex C, Additional requirements for proximity switches with analog output incorporating a built-in communication interface complying with IEC 61131-9;
l) New Annex D, Main characteristics for proximity devices with analog output.
