IEC 61158-4-1:2007

Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 4-1: Data-link layer protocol specification - Type 1 elements

IEC 61158-4-1:2007 The data-link layer provides basic time-critical messaging communications between devices in an automation environment. This protocol provides the data-link service by making use of the services available from the physical layer. The relationship between the International Standards for fieldbus data-link service, fieldbus data-link protocol, fieldbus physical service and systems management is described in IEC/TR 61158-1. 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.

Réseaux de communication industriels - Spécification des bus de terrains - Partie 4-1: Spécification du protocole de la couche liaison de données - Éléments de type 1

L'IEC 61158-4-1:2007 fournit des opportunités de communication à toutes les entités de liaison de données participantes, d'une manière asynchrone cyclique, séquentiellement pour chacune de ces entités de liaison de données, et d'une manière synchrone, de façon cyclique ou acyclique, selon un programme préétabli. Le protocole spécifié fournit également le moyen de changer le jeu d'entités de liaison de données participantes et de modifier le jeu d'opportunités de communications programmées. Lorsque le jeu d'opportunités de communications programmées est vide, la distribution d'opportunités de communication aux entités de liaison de données participantes est complètement asynchrone. Cette première édition et les autres normes de la sous-série CEI 61158-4 annulent et remplacent la CEI 61158-4:2003. Cette édition de la présente partie constitue une révision éditoriale. Elle inclut les modifications suivantes: suppression de l'ancien bus de terrain de Type 6 et substitution pour une couche de liaison de données de bus de terrain de Type 5, en raison du manque d'adéquation au marché; ajout de nouveaux types de bus de terrain; éclatement de la présente partie en plusieurs parties numérotées -4-1, -4-2 4-19. La présente version bilingue (2014-06) correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2007-12.
