Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 5-23: Application layer service definition - Type 23 elements
IEC 61158-5-25:2023 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 23 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.

L'IEC 61158-5-25:2023 fournit des éléments communs pour les communications de messagerie prioritaires et non prioritaires élémentaires entre les programmes d’application des environnements d’automatisation et le matériel spécifique au bus de terrain de type 23. Le terme "prioritaire" signale l’existence d’une fenêtre temporelle dans laquelle une ou plusieurs actions spécifiées doivent être réalisées, avec un niveau de certitude défini. Si les actions spécifiées ne sont pas réalisées dans la fenêtre temporelle, les applications demandant les actions risquent de connaître une défaillance, avec les risques que cela comporte pour les équipements, les installations et éventuellement la vie humaine.
Industrijska komunikacijska omrežja - Specifikacije za procesna vodila - 5-23. del: Definicija opravil na aplikacijski ravni - Elementi tipa 23 (IEC 61158-5-23:2023)
Aplikacijska raven procesnih vodil (FAL) uporabniškim programom omogoča dostop do komunikacijskega okolja procesnih vodil. Glede na to je mogoče aplikacijsko raven procesnih vodil šteti za »okno med ustreznimi aplikacijami«.
Ta del standarda IEC 61158 določa skupne elemente za osnovne časovno kritične in časovno nekritične sporočilne komunikacije med aplikacijami v avtomatizacijskem okolju ter material, specifičen za procesna vodila tipa 23. Izraz »časovno kritičen« se uporablja za predstavitev prisotnosti časovnega okna, v okviru katerega se zahteva dokončanje enega ali več opredeljenih dejanj z določeno stopnjo gotovosti. Zaradi neuspešnega dokončanja opredeljenih dejanj v časovnem oknu je možna odpoved aplikacij, ki zahtevajo dejanja, pri čemer so ogroženi oprema, obrat in morda človeška življenja.
Ta dokument na abstrakten način določa na zunaj vidno opravilo, ki ga zagotavlja aplikacijska raven procesnih vodil različnih tipov v smislu: a) abstraktnega modela za določanje aplikacijskih virov (objektov), ki ga lahko upravljajo uporabniki prek opravila aplikacijske ravni procesnih vodil;
b) primitivnih dejanj in dogodkov opravila;
c) parametrov, povezanih z vsakim primitivnim dejanjem in dogodkom, ter obliko, ki jo prevzamejo; in
d) medsebojne povezave med temi dejanji in dogodki ter njihovimi veljavnimi zaporedji.
Namen tega dokumenta je opredeliti opravila, ki se zagotavljajo za:
a) uporabnika aplikacijske ravni procesnih vodil na meji med uporabniško in aplikacijsko ravnjo referenčnega modela procesnega vodila, in
b) upravljanje sistemov na meji med aplikacijsko ravnjo in upravljanjem sistemov za referenčni model procesnega vodila.
Ta dokument določa strukturo in opravila aplikacijske ravni procesnih vodil IEC v skladu z osnovnim referenčnim modelom OSI (ISO/IEC 7498-1) ter strukturo aplikacijske ravni OSI (ISO/IEC 9545).
Opravila in protokole aplikacijske ravni procesnih vodil zagotavljajo aplikacijski osebki (AE) aplikacijske ravni procesnih vodil znotraj aplikacijskih procesov. Aplikacijski osebek aplikacijske ravni procesnih vodil sestavljata sklop objektno usmerjenih aplikacijskih opravilnih elementov (ASE) in osebek za upravljanje ravni (LME), ki upravlja aplikacijski osebek. Aplikacijski opravilni elementi zagotavljajo komunikacijska opravila, ki delujejo na sklopu povezanih razredov objektov aplikacijskega procesa (APO). Med aplikacijske opravilne elemente aplikacijske ravni procesnih vodil spada aplikacijski opravilni element za upravljanje, ki zagotavlja skupen sklop opravil za upravljanje primerkov razredov aplikacijske ravni procesnih vodil.
Čeprav ta opravila določajo način izdajanja ter dostavljanja zahtev in odzivov z vidika aplikacij, ne zajemajo specifikacije v zvezi s tem, kako naj se nanje odzovejo aplikacije, ki te zahteve in odzive oddajajo. To pomeni, da vedenjski vidiki aplikacij niso opredeljeni; opredeljena je le definicija zahtev in odzivov, ki jih lahko pošiljajo/prejemajo. Tako se uporabnikom aplikacijske ravni procesnih vodil omogoči večja prilagodljivost pri standardizaciji takega vedenja objektov. Poleg teh opravil so v tem dokumentu opredeljena tudi nekatera podporna opravila, da se omogoči dostop do aplikacijske ravni procesnih vodil za nadzorovanje nekaterih vidikov njenega delovanja.

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 the IEC 61784-1 series and the IEC 61784-2 series.
IEC 61158-5-23 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial networks, of IEC
technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and automation. It is an
International Standard.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2019. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
IEC 61158-5-23:2023 © IEC 2023 – 7 –
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous

INTRODUCTION
This document 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 service is provided by the application protocol making use of the services
available from the data-link or other immediately lower layer. This document defines the
application service characteristics that fieldbus applications and/or system management can
exploit.
Throughout the set of fieldbus standards, the term "service" refers to the abstract capability
provided by one layer of the OSI Basic Reference Model to the layer immediately above. Thus,
the application layer service defined in this document is a conceptual architectural service,
independent of administrative and implementation divisions.

Part 5-23: Application layer service definition –
Type 23 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 part of IEC 61158 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 23 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 document defines in an abstract way the externally visible service provided by the
different Types of the fieldbus Application Layer in terms of
a) an abstract model for defining application resources (objects) capable of being
manipulated by users via the use of the FAL service,
b) the primitive actions and events of the service;
c) the parameters associated with each primitive action and event, and the form that they
take; and
d) the interrelationship between these actions and events, and their valid sequences.
The purpose of this document is to define the services provided to
a) the FAL user at the boundary between the user and the Application Layer of the Fieldbus
Reference Model, and
b) Systems Management at the boundary between the Application Layer and Systems
Management of the Fieldbus Reference Model.
This document specifies the structure and services of the IEC Fieldbus Application Layer, in
conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) and the OSI Application
Layer Structure (ISO/IEC 9545).
FAL services and protocols are provided by FAL application-entities (AE) contained within the
application processes. The FAL AE is composed of a set of object-oriented Application
Service Elements (ASEs) and a Layer Management Entity (LME) that manages the AE. The
ASEs provide communication services that operate on a set of related application process
object (APO) classes. One of the FAL ASEs is a management ASE that provides a common
set of services for the management of the instances of FAL classes.

Although these services specify, from the perspective of applications, how request and
responses are issued and delivered, they do not include a specification of what the requesting
and responding applications are to do with them. That is, the behavioral aspects of the
applications are not specified; only a definition of what requests and responses they can
send/receive is specified. This permits greater flexibility to the FAL users in standardizing
such object behavior. In addition to these services, some supporting services are also defined
in this document to provide access to the FAL to control certain aspects of its operation.
1.2 Specifications
The principal objective of this document is to specify the characteristics of conceptual
application layer services suitable for time-critical communications, and thus supplement the
OSI Basic Reference Model in guiding the development of application layer protocols for time-
critical communications.
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 services
standardized as the various Types of IEC 61158, and the corresponding protocols
standardized in subparts of IEC 61158-6.
This document can be used as the basis for formal Application Programming-Interfaces.
Nevertheless, it is not a formal programming interface, and any such interface will need to
address implementation issues not covered by this specification, including
a) the sizes and octet ordering of various multi-octet service parameters, and
b) the correlation of paired request and confirm, or indication and response, primitives.
1.3 Conformance
This document does not specify individual implementations or products, nor does it constrain
the implementations of application layer entities within industrial automation systems.
There is no conformance of equipment to this application layer service definition standard.
Instead, conformance is achieved through implementation of conforming application layer
protocols that fulfill any given Type of application layer services as defined in this document.
