FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of the associated protocol type is restricted by its
intellectual-property-right holders. In all cases, the commitment to limited release of
intellectual-property-rights made by the holders of those rights permits a layer protocol type to
be used with other layer protocols of the same type, or in other type combinations explicitly
authorized by its intellectual-property-right holders.
NOTE Combinations of protocol types are specified in IEC 61784-1 and IEC 61784-2.
International Standard IEC 61158-6-24 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial
networks, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and
automation.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 61158 is one of a series produced to facilitate the interconnection of
automation system components. It is related to other standards in the set as defined by the
“three-layer” fieldbus reference model described in IEC 61158-1.
The application protocol provides the application service by making use of the services
available from the data-link or other immediately lower layer. The primary aim of this standard
is to provide a set of rules for communication expressed in terms of the procedures to be
carried out by peer application entities (AEs) at the time of communication. These rules for
communication are intended to provide a sound basis for development in order to serve a
variety of purposes:
• as a guide for implementers and designers;
• for use in the testing and procurement of equipment;
• as part of an agreement for the admittance of systems into the open systems environment;
• as a refinement to the understanding of time-critical communications within OSI.
This standard is concerned, in particular, with the communication and interworking of sensors,
effectors and other automation devices. By using this standard together with other standards
positioned within the OSI or fieldbus reference models, otherwise incompatible systems may
work together in any combination.

Part 6-24: Application layer protocol specification –
Type-24 Elements
1 Scope
1.1 General
The Fieldbus Application Layer (FAL) provides user programs with a means to access the
fieldbus communication environment. In this respect, the FAL can be viewed as a “window
between corresponding application programs.”
This standard provides common elements for basic time-critical and non-time-critical
messaging communications between application programs in an automation environment and
material specific to Type 24 fieldbus. The term “time-critical” is used to represent the
presence of a time-window, within which one or more specified actions are required to be
completed with some defined level of certainty. Failure to complete specified actions within
the time window risks failure of the applications requesting the actions, with attendant risk to
equipment, plant and possibly human life.
This standard defines in an abstract way the externally visible behavior provided by the Type
24 fieldbus application layer in terms of
a) the abstract syntax defining the application layer protocol data units conveyed between
communicating application entities,
b) the transfer syntax defining the application layer protocol data units conveyed between
communicating application entities,
c) the application context state machines defining the application service behavior visibly
between communicating application entities, and
d) the application relationship state machines defining the communication behavior visibly
between communicating application entities.
The purpose of this standard is to define the protocol provided to
a) define the representation-on-wire of the service primitives defined in IEC 61158-5-24, and
b) define the externally visible behavior associated with their transfer.
This standard specifies the protocol of the Type 24 fieldbus application layer, in conformance
with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) and the OSI Application Layer
Structure (ISO/IEC 9545).
1.2 Specifications
The principal objective of this standard is to specify the syntax and behavior of the application
layer protocol that conveys the application layer services defined in IEC 61158-5-24.
A secondary objective is to provide migration paths from previously-existing industrial
communications protocols. It is this latter objective which gives rise to the diversity of
protocols standardized in IEC 61158-6.

1.3 Conformance
This standard does not specify individual implementations or products, nor does it constrain
the implementations of application layer entities within industrial automation systems.
Conformance is achieved through implementation of this application layer protocol
specification.

3.2 Additional terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.2.1
alarm
field device status to tell that the device has detected a fatal problem to be solved and cannot
continue normal working, through the field device control (FDC) service of the Type 24
fieldbus
Note 1 to entry:  Any alarm statuses are latched and need some operations to be cleared.
Note 2 to entry:  Alarms are classified into three groups; communication alarms, illegal-command-related ones,
and application specific ones. But concrete definitions are dependent on implementation of each field devices.
3.2.2
application process object
network representation of a specific aspect of an application process (AP), which is modelled
as a network accessible object contained within an AP or within another APO
Note 1 to entry:  Refer IEC 61158-1, 9.3.4.
3.2.3
application process context
AP context
shared knowledge or a common set of rules, governing communication of FAL application
entities (AEs) and describing the permissible collective communications behavior between the
AEs that are party to a specific set of application relationships (ARs)
Note 1 to entry:  Data within AP context can be specified by the user in advance, by the option selected while the
user uses a field bus management (FSM) service to read out the facility of peer AP, by the automatic negotiation
function that the FSM system handles, and so on. The method that is to be adopted depends on the specification of
each implementation.
3.2.4
application process type
AP type
description of a classification of application processes (APs) in terms of a set of capabilities
for FAL of the Type 24 fieldbus
Note 1 to entry:  AP types are classified into three, C1 master AP, C2 master AP and slave AP, by their application
roles in the fieldbus network.
3.2.5
async command
type of a command application protocol data unit (APDU) of the FDC service of the Type 24
FAL, which can be issued any time after the previous transaction without consideration of
synchronization with the communication cycle

– 12 – IEC 61158-6-24:2014 © IEC 2014
Note 1 to entry:  Definitions, which command should be async one or not, are dependent on an application. They
may be provided as a registered set of commands and responses or a device profiles. See 4.4 and Annex A.
3.2.6
asynchronous communication
state or a way of communication for the FDC service of the Type 24 FAL, in which a command
can be issued any time after the previous transaction without consideration of synchronization
with the communication cycle
Note 1 to entry:  In this state, sync commands cannot be issued, but async commands can.
3.2.7
attribute
information or parameter contained in variable portions of an object
Note 1 to entry:  Typically, they provide status information or govern the operation of an object. Attributes may
also affect the behavior of an object.
3.2.8
C1 master
AP type that has master facilities for the FDC service of the Type 24 FAL, or the device
implementing that AP type
Note 1 to entry:  Only one C1 master exists in a network of the Type 24 fieldbus
3.2.9
C2 master
AP type that has only monitor facilities for the FDC service but requester facilities for
message (MSG) service of the Type 24 FAL, or the device implementing that AP type
Note 1 to entry:  Less than two C2 masters can exist in a network of the Type 24 fieldbus
3.2.10
command
PDU issued by a requester or a master to make a responder or a slave execute some
functions
3.2.11
communication
transfer
transmission
– communication: process to exchange information in a formal manner between two or more
devices, users, APs or entities
– transfer: process to convey a PDU from a sender to a receiver
– transmission: process to send out and propagate electrical signals or encoded data
3.2.12
communication cycle
period of repetitive activities synchronized with the transmission cycle while the connection
establishing for the FDC protocol of the Type 24 FAL
Note 1 to entry:  Communication cycle may synchronize with the transmission cycle multiplied by a specified
scaling factor.
3.2.13
connection
context or logical binding under specific conditions for the FDC protocol between a master
object and a slave object for the Type 24 FAL

IEC 61158-6-24:2014 © IEC 2014 – 13 –
3.2.14
cyclic
repetitive in a regular manner
3.2.15
cyclic communication
transmission mode in which request PDUs and response PDUs are exchanged repetitively in
the scheduled time slots synchronized with a transmission cycle for the lower layer protocol of
the Type 24
Note 1 to entry:  In the AL, the communication cycle arises from the transmission cycle in this mode.
3.2.16
cycle scale counter
counter to generate a communication cycle by means of scaling a primary cycle or a
transmission cycle
3.2.17
device ID
part of “Device Information” to identify the device for a specific product type or model of the
Type 24 fieldbus
3.2.18
device information
formatted and device-embedded information to characterize a device, which mainly consists
of data for device model identification and device-profile specific parameters for the Type 24
fieldbus
3.2.19
device profile
collection of device-model-common information and functionality providing consistency
between different device models among the same kind of devices
3.2.20
dual transfer
transfer mode for the FDC protocol of the Type 24 FAL, in which a sender sends a same PDU
twice a transaction and a receiver uses them to detect and recover a communication error
such as data-corruption or data-loss in cyclic communication mode
3.2.21
event driven communication
transmission mode for the lower layer protocol of the Type 24 fieldbus in which a transaction
of command-response-exchanging arises as user’s demands
Note 1 to entry:  Both the transmission cycle and the communication cycle don’t arise in this mode.
3.2.22
error
abnormal condition or malfunction for communication or any other activities
3.2.23
