FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60839-7-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 79: Alarm
systems.
This bilingual version (2001-11) replaces the English version.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
79/198/FDIS 79/208/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Annexes A and B are for information only.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged
until 2004. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

3 Definitions
For the purpose of this part of IEC 60839, the following definitions apply.
3.1
alarm system messages
messages that convey information about the status of an alarm system
These may comprise:
3.1.1
alarm messages
messages that convey the presence of a hazard or a potential hazard to life or property, or the
removal of such a hazard, including messages that convey the status of an alarm since the
alarm transmission system is only responsible for decoding the type of the transmitted
message
3.1.2
commands
messages that give instructions to an alarm system or to part of the alarm transmission system
3.1.3
informative messages
messages that give information about the status of functions of an alarm system
3.1.4
transmission system messages
messages that convey the status of parts of the alarm transmission system, including
messages which report the status of the alarm system transceiver
NOTE The format and treatment of such messages may be the same as for alarm system messages.
3.2
alarm channel
part of the logical alarm transmission path across which information about the status of
separately identifiable logical functional parts of the connected alarm system are passed
3.3
functional part
logical function which may include individual detectors, groups of detectors and sections of the
common parts of the system (for example power supply unit (PSU), warning device, etc.)
NOTE Such a functional part may be in one or more of the following states as shown below.
3.3.1
normal condition
status of a functional part when it is fully operational and not in any other condition
3.3.2
alarm condition
status of a functional part which results from the response of that functional part to the
presence of an abnormal condition indicating the presence of a hazard (or a potential hazard)
which has not been acknowledged by either its successful transmission or by a local manual
action

3.3.4
tamper
status of a functional part which results from the operation of a tamper device within that
functional part
3.3.5
test condition

response to the master, in response to a request from it
3.7
data link data
information element, a data link message or a message originating from LAYER 4 –
TRANSPORT
3.8
originator
item of equipment which initiates the data communications on a link
NOTE This need not be the item which initiates the physical/logical connection.
3.9
receiver
item of equipment on a link which accepts data communication initiated on a link by another
item of equipment (an ORIGINATOR)
3.10
message authentication code (MAC)
code ensuring that the message arrives from the correct source
3.11

5 OSI reference model
The open system interconnection (OSI) reference model was developed by the International
Standards Organization (ISO) both to provide a commonly agreed way of describing,
understanding and analyzing the various functions of complex communications systems. It also
provides a framework for drafting international standards.
The reference model views the functions of a system as being divided into a number of layers.
There are formally 7 LAYERS (1-7), though layers 0 and 8 are now commonly added as
described below.
The layered structure enables changes to be made to the different functions without affecting
the other layers. In actual systems, some layers may be omitted. Designers are free to
implement the layers individually or to combine them.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

SIST IEC 60839-7-1:2002
60839-7-1 © IEC:2001 – 17 –
It was also developed to enable a variety of applications to be operated over any combination
of current or future network technologies without the need for changes in the applications
themselves. Thus, there is a fundamental division in the model so as to provide a stable
boundary between applications and the real networks being used. This occurs at LAYER 3 –
NETWORK layer of the reference model.layers in the OSI reference model are shown below.
5.1 OSI layers
LAYER 0 – MECHANICAL is only required in cases where there is a need to specify the
physical shape of connectors and modules that connect directly to each other. An example
would be defining the maximum size and connector arrangements of plug-in digital
communicators, so that manufacturers of control and indicating equipment could have a
standard space and connector layout into which communicators from a number of other
manufacturers could fit.
LAYERS 1 to 3 reflect the logical division of the functions in any network. LAYER 1 –
PHYSICAL defines the physical and electrical interface characteristics of the interface to the
actual transmission medium. It provides a totally transparent transmission path. LAYER 2 –
DATA LINK is responsible for any low level formatting of the data into blocks and for the
provision of error detection and/or correction. LAYER 3 – NETWORK provides addressing and
routing in networks with multiple terminals, as well as basic call set-up and clear down
procedures.
LAYER 4 – TRANSPORT – In some applications, these lower levels do not provide all the
transmission features required by the application. Within the context of alarm transmission, this
might apply to the provision of higher levels of error detection and correction, scrambling and
encryption and linking short blocks together to form longer messages. These additional
features are provided in this layer.
The layers above LAYER 4 are concerned with the management and synchronization of the
data, and should be independent of the data transmission systems used. LAYER 5 – SESSION
is used to manage systems where different applications share the same transmission system.
LAYER 6 – PRESENTATION is responsible for changing the format of the data, where the two
end applications have different ways of presenting the data. These two layers are unlikely to
feature in an alarm transmission system.
LAYER 7 – APPLICATION is the top level that provides the actual transmission service to the
application, it is the window through which the application sees the alarm transmission service.
LAYER 8 – NETWORK MANAGEMENT is a common format for the control and management of
transmission equipment, particularly more complex switching and multiplexing equipment. It
can be considered as a specialized, alternative presentation/application layer for use by the
network managers to monitor the transmission system.
