Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 5-19: Application layer service definition - Type 19 elements
IEC 61158-5-19:2007 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 19 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. 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 61158-5-19:2007 - "Industrial communication networks – Fieldbus specifications – Part 5-19: Application layer service definition – Type 19 elements" defines the abstract application-layer services (the Fieldbus Application Layer, FAL) for Type 19 fieldbus protocols. The standard specifies how user programs access the fieldbus environment, providing a conceptual “window between corresponding application programs.” It covers both time-critical and non-time-critical messaging, object-oriented application resources, service primitives, parameters and valid sequences - while remaining implementation‑neutral.
Key topics and technical requirements
- FAL architecture and conformance
- Defines the FAL application-entity (AE) composed of Application Service Elements (ASEs) and a Layer Management Entity (LME).
- Conformance to OSI concepts (ISO/IEC 7498, ISO/IEC 9545) and alignment with the IEC 61158 fieldbus series.
- Abstract model of application resources
- Specification of Application Process Objects (APOs), ASEs, and the management ASE for object lifecycle and management.
- Service primitives and parameters
- Defines the externally visible primitives (requests, responses, notifications) and their parameters, including Read, Write, Notify, Get Network/Device Status, Set Device Status, Enable/Disable RTC, Hotplug and related services (tables of parameters are provided).
- Time-critical messaging
- Formalizes the concept of a time-window for actions and the associated levels of certainty required; emphasizes the safety and reliability requirements where delayed actions risk equipment, plant or human safety.
- Abstract (non‑behavioral) specification
- Specifies what services exist and their sequences, not the internal behavior of applications - enabling flexible implementation and API design.
- Intellectual‑property considerations
- Notes that some protocol types and combinations may be subject to intellectual‑property rights and IEC 61784 guidance.
Applications and who uses it
- System architects and standards authors designing fieldbus application protocols and service models.
- Device and firmware manufacturers implementing Type 19 fieldbus stacks or building FAL-compliant products.
- Systems integrators and control engineers integrating time-critical automation devices across a fieldbus network.
- Safety and reliability engineers specifying messaging requirements where timing constraints affect safety.
- Useful as a basis for formal APIs and for migrating legacy industrial protocols to standardized FAL services.
Related standards
- IEC 61158 series (fieldbus specifications) - other parts define data-link and protocol specifics for different Types.
- ISO/IEC OSI standards (ISO/IEC 7498, 9545) - referenced for layer and application concepts.
- IEC 61784 - guidance on protocol profile combinations and intellectual‑property constraints.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.
NOTE Use of some of the associated protocol types is restricted by their 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 particular data-link layer protocol type to be used with physical layer and application layer protocols in type

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/TR 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 standard defines the
application service characteristics that fieldbus applications and/or system management may
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 standard is a conceptual architectural
service, independent of administrative and implementation divisions.

Part 5-19: Application layer service definition – Type 19 elements
1 Scope
1.1 Overview
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 19 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 service provided by 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 which they
take; and
d) the interrelationship between these actions and events, and their valid sequences.
The purpose of this standard is to define the services provided to
1) the FAL user at the boundary between the user and the application layer of the fieldbus
reference model, and
2) Systems Management at the boundary between the application layer and Systems
Management of the fieldbus reference model.
This standard specifies the structure and services of the fieldbus application layer, in
conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498) 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 standard to provide access to the FAL to control certain aspects of its operation.
– 8 – 61158-5-19 © IEC:2007(E)
1.2 Specifications
The principal objective of this standard 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 specification may 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 standard 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 the application layer services as defined in this standard.

3.24 Conventions
3.24.1 Overview
The FAL is defined as a set of object-oriented ASEs. Each ASE is specified in a separate
subclause. Each ASE specification is composed of two parts, its class specification, and its
service specification.
The class specification defines the attributes of the class. The attributes are accessible from
instances of the class using the Object Management ASE services specified in Clause 5 of
this standard. The service specification defines the services that are provided by the ASE.
3.24.2 General conventions
This standard uses the descriptive conventions given in ISO/IEC 10731.
3.24.3 Conventions for class definitions
Class definitions are described using templates. Each template consists of a list of attributes
for the class. The general form of the template is shown below:
FAL ASE: ASE Name
CLASS: Class name
CLASS ID: #
PARENT CLASS: Parent class name
ATTRIBUTES:
1 (o) Key Attribute: numeric identifier
– 12 – 61158-5-19 © IEC:2007(E)
2 (o) Key Attribute: name
3 (m) Attribute: attribute name(values)
4 (m) Attribute: attribute name(values)
4.1 (s) Attribute: attribute name(values)
4.2 (s) Attribute: attribute name(values)
4.3 (s) Attribute: attribute name(values)
5. (c) Constraint: constraint expression
5.1 (m) Attribute: attribute name(values)
5.2 (o) Attribute: attribute name(values)
6 (m) Attribute: attribute name(values)
6.1 (s) Attribute: attribute name(values)
6.2 (s) Attribute: attribute name(values)
SERVICES:
1 (o) OpsService: service name
2. (c) Constraint: constraint expression
2.1 (o) OpsService: service name
3 (m) MgtService: service name
(1) The "FAL ASE:" entry is the name of the FAL ASE that provides the services for the class
being specified.
(2) The "CLASS:" entry is the name of the class being specified. All objects defined using this
template will be an instance of this class. The class may be specified by this standard, or
by a user of this standard.
(3) The "CLASS ID:" entry is a number that identifies the class being specified. This number is
unique within the FAL ASE that will provide the services for this class. When qualified by
the identity of its FAL ASE, it unambiguously identifies the class within the scope of the
FAL. The value "NULL" indicates that the class cannot be instantiated. Class IDs between
1 and 255 are reserved by this standard to identify standardized classes. They have been
assigned to maintain compatibility with existing national standards. CLASS IDs between
256 and 2048 are allocated for identifying user defined classes.
(4) The "PARENT CLASS:" entry is the name of the parent class for the class being specified.
All attributes defined for the parent class and inherited by it are inherited for the class
being defined, and therefore do not have to be redefined in the template for this class.
NOTE The parent-class "TOP" indicates that the class being defined is an initial class definition. The parent class
TOP is used as a starting point from which all other classes are defined. The use of TOP is reserved for classes
defined by this standard.
(5) The "ATTRIBUTES" label indicate that the following entries are attributes defined for the
class.
a) Each of the attribute entries contains a line number in column 1, a mandatory (m) /
optional (o) / conditional (c) / selector (s) indicator in column 2, an attribute type label
in column 3, a name or a conditional expression in column 4, and optionally a list of
enumerated values in column 5. In the column following the list of values, the default
value for the attribute may be specified.
b) Objects are normally identified by a numeric identifier or by an object name, or by
both. In the class templates, these key attributes are defined under the key attribute.
c) The line number defines the sequence and the level of nesting of the line. Each
nesting level is identified by period. Nesting is used to specify
i) fields of a structured attribute (4.1, 4.2, 4.3),
ii) attributes conditional on a constraint statement (5). Attributes may be mandatory
(5.1) or optional (5.2) if the constraint is true. Not all optional attributes require
constraint statements as does the attribute defined in (5.2).
iii) the selection fields of a choice type attribute (6.1 and 6.2).
61158-5-19 © IEC:2007(E) – 13 –
(6) The "SERVICES" label indicates that the following entries are services defined for the
class.
a) An (m) in column 2 indicates that the service is mandatory for the class, while an (o)
indicates that it is optional. A (c) in this column indicates that the service is conditional.
When all services defined for a class are defined as optional, at least one has to be
selected when an instance of the class is defined.
b) The label "OpsService" designates an operational service (1).
c) The label "MgtService" designates an management service (2).
d) The line number defines the sequence and the level of nesting of the line. Each
nesting level is identified by period. Nesting within the list of services is used to specify
services conditional on a constraint statement.
3.24.4 Conventions for service definitions
3.24.4.1 General
The service model, service primitives, and time-sequence diagrams used are entirely abstract
descriptions; they do not represent a specification for implementation.
3.24.4.2 Service parameters
Service primitives are used to represent service user/service provider interactions (ISO/IEC
10731). They convey parameters which indicate information available in the user/provider
interaction. In any particular interface, not all parameters need be explicitly stated.
The service specifications of this standard uses a tabular format to describe the component
parameters of the ASE service primitives. The parameters which apply to each group of
service primitives are set out in tables. Each table consists of up to five columns for the
1) Parameter name,
2) request primitive,
3) indication primitive,
4) response primitive, and
5) confirm primitive.
One parameter (or component of it) is listed in each row of each table. Under the appropriate
service primitive columns, a code is used to specify the type of usage of the parameter on the
primitive specified in the column:
M parameter is mandatory for the primitive
U parameter is a User option, and may or may not be provided depending on dynamic
usage of the service user. When not provided, a default value for the parameter is
assumed.
C parameter is conditional upon other parameters or upon the environment of the service
user.
— (blank) parameter is never present.
S parameter is a selected item.
Some entries are further qualified by items in brackets. These may be
a) a parameter-specific constraint:
“(=)” indicates that the parameter is semantically equivalent to the parameter in the
service primitive to its immediate left in the table.
b) an indication that some note applies to the entry:
“(n)” indicates that the following note "n" contains additional information pertaining to
the parameter and its use.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.
NOTE Use of some of the associated protocol types is restricted by their 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 particular data-link layer protocol type to be used with physical layer and application layer protocols in type
combinations as specified explicitly in the IEC 61784 series. Use of the various protocol types in other
combinations may require permission of their respective intellectual-property-right holders.

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/TR 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 standard defines the
application service characteristics that fieldbus applications and/or system management may
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 standard is a conceptual architectural
service, independent of administrative and implementation divisions.
INDUSTRIAL COMMUNICATION NETWORKS –
FIELDBUS SPECIFICATIONS –
Part 5-19: Application layer service definition – Type 19 elements
1 Scope
1.1 Overview
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 19 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 service provided by 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 which they
take; and
d) the interrelationship between these actions and events, and their valid sequences.
The purpose of this standard is to define the services provided to
1) the FAL user at the boundary between the user and the application layer of the fieldbus
reference model, and
2) Systems Management at the boundary between the application layer and Systems
Management of the fieldbus reference model.
This standard specifies the structure and services of the fieldbus application layer, in
conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498) 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 standard to provide access to the FAL to control certain aspects of its operation.
– 8 – IEC 61158-5-19:2007 © IEC:2007
1.2 Specifications
The principal objective of this standard 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 specification may 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 standard 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 the application layer services as defined in this standard.

3.24 Conventions
3.24.1 Overview
The FAL is defined as a set of object-oriented ASEs. Each ASE is specified in a separate
subclause. Each ASE specification is composed of two parts, its class specification, and its
service specification.
The class specification defines the attributes of the class. The attributes are accessible from
instances of the class using the Object Management ASE services specified in Clause 5 of
this standard. The service specification defines the services that are provided by the ASE.
3.24.2 General conventions
This standard uses the descriptive conventions given in ISO/IEC 10731.
3.24.3 Conventions for class definitions
Class definitions are described using templates. Each template consists of a list of attributes
for the class. The general form of the template is shown below:
FAL ASE: ASE Name
CLASS: Class name
CLASS ID: #
PARENT CLASS: Parent class name
ATTRIBUTES:
1 (o) Key Attribute: numeric identifier
– 12 – IEC 61158-5-19:2007 © IEC:2007
2 (o) Key Attribute: name
3 (m) Attribute: attribute name(values)
4 (m) Attribute: attribute name(values)
4.1 (s) Attribute: attribute name(values)
4.2 (s) Attribute: attribute name(values)
4.3 (s) Attribute: attribute name(values)
5. (c) Constraint: constraint expression
5.1 (m) Attribute: attribute name(values)
5.2 (o) Attribute: attribute name(values)
6 (m) Attribute: attribute name(values)
6.1 (s) Attribute: attribute name(values)
6.2 (s) Attribute: attribute name(values)
SERVICES:
1 (o) OpsService: service name
2. (c) Constraint: constraint expression
2.1 (o) OpsService: service name
3 (m) MgtService: service name
(1) The "FAL ASE:" entry is the name of the FAL ASE that provides the services for the class
being specified.
(2) The "CLASS:" entry is the name of the class being specified. All objects defined using this
template will be an instance of this class. The class may be specified by this standard, or
by a user of this standard.
(3) The "CLASS ID:" entry is a number that identifies the class being specified. This number is
unique within the FAL ASE that will provide the services for this class. When qualified by
the identity of its FAL ASE, it unambiguously identifies the class within the scope of the
FAL. The value "NULL" indicates that the class cannot be instantiated. Class IDs between
1 and 255 are reserved by this standard to identify standardized classes. They have been
assigned to maintain compatibility with existing national standards. CLASS IDs between
256 and 2048 are allocated for identifying user defined classes.
(4) The "PARENT CLASS:" entry is the name of the parent class for the class being specified.
All attributes defined for the parent class and inherited by it are inherited for the class
being defined, and therefore do not have to be redefined in the template for this class.
NOTE The parent-class "TOP" indicates that the class being defined is an initial class definition. The parent class
TOP is used as a starting point from which all other classes are defined. The use of TOP is reserved for classes
defined by this standard.
(5) The "ATTRIBUTES" label indicate that the following entries are attributes defined for the
class.
a) Each of the attribute entries contains a line number in column 1, a mandatory (m) /
optional (o) / conditional (c) / selector (s) indicator in column 2, an attribute type label
in column 3, a name or a conditional expression in column 4, and optionally a list of
enumerated values in column 5. In the column following the list of values, the default
value for the attribute may be specified.
b) Objects are normally identified by a numeric identifier or by an object name, or by
both. In the class templates, these key attributes are defined under the key attribute.
c) The line number defines the sequence and the level of nesting of the line. Each
nesting level is identified by period. Nesting is used to specify
i) fields of a structured attribute (4.1, 4.2, 4.3),
ii) attributes conditional on a constraint statement (5). Attributes may be mandatory
(5.1) or optional (5.2) if the constraint is true. Not all optional attributes require
constraint statements as does the attribute defined in (5.2).
iii) the selection fields of a choice type attribute (6.1 and 6.2).
(6) The "SERVICES" label indicates that the following entries are services defined for the
class.
a) An (m) in column 2 indicates that the service is mandatory for the class, while an (o)
indicates that it is optional. A (c) in this column indicates that the service is conditional.
When all services defined for a class are defined as optional, at least one has to be
selected when an instance of the class is defined.
b) The label "OpsService" designates an operational service (1).
c) The label "MgtService" designates an management service (2).
d) The line number defines the sequence and the level of nesting of the line. Each
nesting level is identified by period. Nesting within the list of services is used to specify
services conditional on a constraint statement.
3.24.4 Conventions for service definitions
3.24.4.1 General
The service model, service primitives, and time-sequence diagrams used are entirely abstract
descriptions; they do not represent a specification for implementation.
3.24.4.2 Service parameters
Service primitives are used to represent service user/service provider interactions (ISO/IEC
10731). They convey parameters which indicate information available in the user/provider
interaction. In any particular interface, not all parameters need be explicitly stated.
The service specifications of this standard uses a tabular format to describe the component
parameters of the ASE service primitives. The parameters which apply to each group of
service primitives are set out in tables. Each table consists of up to five columns for the
1) Parameter name,
2) request primitive,
3) indication primitive,
4) response primitive, and
5) confirm primitive.
One parameter (or component of it) is listed in each row of each table. Under the appropriate
service primitive columns, a code is used to specify the type of usage of the parameter on the
primitive specified in the column:
M parameter is mandatory for the primitive
U parameter is a User option, and may or may not be provided depending on dynamic
usage of the service user. When not provided, a default value for the parameter is
assumed.
C parameter is conditional upon other parameters or upon the environment of the service
user.
— (blank) parameter is never present.
S parameter is a selected item.
Some entries are further qualified by items in brackets. These may be
a) a parameter-specific constraint:
“(=)” indicates that the parameter is semantically equivalent to the parameter in the
service primitive to its immediate left in the table.
b) an indication that some note applies to the entry:
“(n)” indicates that the following note "n" contains additional information pertaining to
the parameter and its use.

3.24.4.3 Service procedures
The procedures are defined in terms of
• the interactions between application entities through the exchange of fieldbus Application
Protocol Data Units, and
• the interactions between an application layer service provider and an application layer
service user in the same system through the invocation of application layer service
primitives.
These procedures are applicable to instances of communication between systems which
support time-constrained communications services within the fieldbus application layer.
4 Concepts
The common concepts and templates used to describe the application layer service in this
standard are detailed in IEC/TR 61158-1, Clause 9.

6 Communication model specification
6.1 Concepts
6.1.1 Communication mechanisms
Two communication mechanisms are supported by devices within the network:
cyclic transmission of data in a high efficient manner using a publisher subscriber
model,
non cyclic transmission of data using a client server communication model.
AREPs, which act as push publisher or push subscriber, are used for cyclic transmission.
AREPs, which act as a client or server, are used for non cyclic data transmission.
6.1.2 IDN concept
The application data which is transmitted cyclically and non cyclically between FAL users is
mapped on so-called identification numbers (IDNs). These IDNs correspond to the APOs as
defined and are described in IEC 61158-3-16, Annex A.
6.2 ASEs
6.2.1 Identification number (IDN) ASE
6.2.1.1 Overview
The IDN ASE provides read and write access to the attributes of IDNs provided by a device.

Frequently Asked Questions
IEC 61158-5-19:2007 is a standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Its full title is "Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 5-19: Application layer service definition - Type 19 elements". This standard covers: IEC 61158-5-19:2007 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 19 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. 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.
