IEC 61158-5-3:2007

Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 5-3: Application layer service definition - Type 3 elements

It 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/TR 61158 1. This sub-part contains material specific to Type 3 fieldbus. It includes the following significant changes with respect to the previous edition deletion of the former Type 6 fieldbus, and the placeholder for a Type 5 fieldbus data-link layer, for lack of market relevance; addition of new types of fieldbuses; division of this part into multiple parts numbered.

Overview

IEC 61158-5-3:2007 is part of the IEC 61158 series for industrial communication networks – fieldbus specifications. This sub-part defines the application layer service definition for Type 3 fieldbus elements within the three-layer fieldbus reference model (see IEC/TR 61158‑1). It is intended to facilitate interconnection of automation system components by specifying the services, data types and behaviors required at the application layer for Type 3 fieldbus implementations. The 2007 edition also documents structural changes to the series (removal of former Type 6, placeholder for Type 5, addition and re-numbering of new types).

Key topics and technical requirements

• Application layer services (ASEs): Definitions of Application Service Elements and how application processes interact with them.
• Communication model and DP concepts: Detailed DP (Distributed Peripheral / DP) communication models, DP-master/DP-slave relationships and slave models (modular and compact).
• Data types and APOs: Data type ASE definitions plus Application Process Objects (APOs) used for mapping real-world device data to fieldbus objects.
• FAL classes and conformance: Summary of Fieldbus Application Layer (FAL) classes, permitted services by AREP roles and conformance class requirements for device certification.
• State machines and timing: Description of PLL, INPUT and OUTPUT state machines, isochronous DP cycle timing and synchronization primitives.
• Service primitives and tables: Comprehensive lists and tables of primitives, status values, access rights, format/consistency rules and diagnostic/status types.
• System and application characteristics: Application relationships (MSx, MMx types), publisher/subscriber associations, inter-network addressing examples and memory/load region rules.

Practical applications and who uses it

• Device manufacturers: To implement compliant Type 3 fieldbus application layers in sensors, actuators and I/O modules.
• PLC and controller vendors: For integrating DP-masters and ensuring correct master/slave behaviors and timing.
• System integrators and automation engineers: To design, commission and troubleshoot networks using Type 3 fieldbus systems.
• Test labs and certification bodies: For evaluating conformance classes, ASE behavior and interoperability.
• Software and firmware developers: Implementing ASEs, APO mapping, state machines and publisher/subscriber logic.

Related standards

• IEC 61158 series (other parts for data-link, physical layers and other Type variants)
• IEC/TR 61158-1 (three-layer fieldbus reference model)

Keywords: IEC 61158-5-3, Type 3 fieldbus, industrial communication networks, application layer service definition, fieldbus DP, ASE, APO, fieldbus conformance, automation systems.
