Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 3-25: Data-link layer service definition - Type X elements

IEC 61158-3-25:2019 defines the services provided to the Type 25 fieldbus application layer at the boundary between the application and data-link layers of the fieldbus reference model and systems management at the boundary between the data-link layer and systems management of the fieldbus reference model. It provides common elements for basic time-critical messaging communications between devices in an automation environment.

Réseaux de communication industriels - Spécifications des bus de terrain - Partie 3-25: Définition des services de la couche liaison de données - Éléments de type 25

L'IEC 61158-3-25:2019 fournit les éléments communs des communications de messagerie prioritaires de base entre dispositifs dans un environnement automatisé. On utilise le terme "prioritaire" pour traduire la présence d’une fenêtre temporelle, à l’intérieur de laquelle une ou plusieurs actions spécifiées doivent être terminées 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.

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.

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.
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 data-link layer service defined in this document is a conceptual architectural service,
independent of administrative and implementation divisions.

Part 3-25: Data-link layer service definition –
Type 25 elements



1 Scope
1.1 General
This part of IEC 61158 provides common elements for basic time-critical messaging
communications between devices in an automation environment. 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 International Standard defines in an abstract way the externally visible service provided
by the Type 25 fieldbus data-link layer in terms of
a) the primitive actions and events of the service;
b) the parameters associated with each primitive action and event, and the form which they
take; and
c) the interrelationship between these actions and events, and their valid sequences.
The purpose of this document is to define the services provided to
• the Type 25 fieldbus application layer at the boundary between the application and data-
link layers of the fieldbus reference model;
• systems management at the boundary between the data-link layer and systems
management of the fieldbus reference model.
1.2 Specifications
The principal objective of this document is to specify the characteristics of conceptual data-
link layer services suitable for time-critical communications, and thus supplement the OSI
Basic Reference Model in guiding the development of data-link protocols for time-critical
communications. A secondary objective is to provide migration paths from previously-existing
industrial communications protocols.
This specification may be used as the basis for formal DL-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 data-link entities within industrial automation systems.
There is no conformance of equipment to this data-link layer service definition standard.
Instead, conformance is achieved through implementation of the corresponding data-link
protocol that fulfils the Type 25 data-link layer services defined in this document.

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.

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.
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 data-link layer service defined in this document is a conceptual architectural service,
independent of administrative and implementation divisions.

Part 3-25: Data-link layer service definition –
Type 25 elements



1 Scope
1.1 General
This part of IEC 61158 provides common elements for basic time-critical messaging
communications between devices in an automation environment. 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 International Standard defines in an abstract way the externally visible service provided
by the Type 25 fieldbus data-link layer in terms of
a) the primitive actions and events of the service;
b) the parameters associated with each primitive action and event, and the form which they
take; and
c) the interrelationship between these actions and events, and their valid sequences.
The purpose of this document is to define the services provided to
• the Type 25 fieldbus application layer at the boundary between the application and data-
link layers of the fieldbus reference model;
• systems management at the boundary between the data-link layer and systems
management of the fieldbus reference model.
1.2 Specifications
The principal objective of this document is to specify the characteristics of conceptual data-
link layer services suitable for time-critical communications, and thus supplement the OSI
Basic Reference Model in guiding the development of data-link protocols for time-critical
communications. A secondary objective is to provide migration paths from previously-existing
industrial communications protocols.
This specification may be used as the basis for formal DL-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 data-link entities within industrial automation systems.
There is no conformance of equipment to this data-link layer service definition standard.
Instead, conformance is achieved through implementation of the corresponding data-link
protocol that fulfils the Type 25 data-link layer services defined in this document.
