Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 3-3: Data-link layer service definition - Type 3 elements (IEC 61158-3-3:2014)

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 standard defines in an abstract way the externally visible service provided by the Type 3
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 standard is to define the services provided to
– the Type 3 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.
1.2 Specifications
The principal objective of this standard 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 standard does not specify individual implementations or products, nor do they 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 fulfills the Type 1 data-link layer services defined in this standard.

Industrijska komunikacijska omrežja - Specifikacije za procesna vodila - 3-3. del: Specifikacija protokola na ravni podatkovnih povezav - Elementi tipa 3 (IEC 61158-3-3:2014)

1.1 General
Ta del standarda IEC 61158 določa skupne elemente za osnovne časovno kritične sporočilne komunikacije med napravami v avtomatizacijskem okolju. Izraz »časovno kritičen« se uporablja za predstavitev prisotnosti časovnega okna, v okviru katerega se zahteva dokončanje enega ali več opredeljenih dejanj z določeno stopnjo gotovosti. Zaradi neuspešnega dokončanja opredeljenih dejanj v časovnem oknu je možna odpoved aplikacij, ki zahtevajo dejanja, pri čemer so ogroženi oprema, obrat in morda človeška življenja.
Ta standard na abstrakten način določa na zunaj vidno opravilo, ki ga zagotavlja podatkovna povezovalna raven procesnih vodil tipa 3 v smislu
a) preprostih dejanj in dogodkov opravila;
b) parametrov, povezanih z vsakim preprostim dejanjem in dogodkom, ter obliko, ki jo prevzamejo; in
c) medsebojnih povezav med temi dejanji in dogodki ter njihovimi veljavnimi zaporedji.
Namen tega standarda je določiti opravila, ki se zagotavljajo za
– aplikacijsko raven procesnih vodil tipa 3 na meji med aplikacijo in podatkovno povezovalno ravnjo referenčnega modela procesnega vodila in
– upravljanje sistemov na meji med podatkovno povezovalno ravnjo in upravljanjem sistemov referenčnega modela procesnega vodila.
1.2 Specifikacije
Glavni cilj tega standarda je določiti značilnosti konceptualnih opravil nivoja podatkovnih povezav, primernih za časovno kritične komunikacije, ter tako dopolniti osnovni referenčni model OSI pri usmerjanju razvoja protokolov časovnih povezav za časovno kritične komunikacije. Sekundarni cilj je zagotoviti načrte prehoda iz predhodno obstoječih industrijskih komunikacijskih protokolov.
Ta specifikacija se lahko uporablja kot podlaga za formalne programske vmesnike podatkovne povezave. Vseeno ne gre za formalni programski vmesnik, pri čemer mora vsak tak vmesnik obravnavati izvedbena vprašanja, ki jih ta specifikacija ne zajema, vključno z:
a) velikostmi in oktetnim naročanjem različnih večoktetnih parametrov opravil;
b) korelacijo parnih primitivov za zahtevo in potrjevanje ali navedbo in odziv.
1.3 Skladnost
Ta standard ne določa posameznih implementacij ali izdelkov, ti pa ne omejujejo implementacije entitet podatkovnih povezav v okviru sistemov za industrijsko avtomatizacijo. Ta oprema ni skladna s standardom za specifikacijo protokola na ravni podatkovnih povezav. Skladnost se doseže prek implementacije ustreznega protokola podatkovnih povezav, ki izpolnjuje storitve ravni podatkovnih povezav tipa 1, ki je določen v tem standardu.

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.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of the associated protocol type is restricted by its
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 layer protocol type to
be used with other layer protocols of the same type, or in other type combinations explicitly
authorized by its intellectual-property-right holders.
NOTE Combinations of protocol types are specified in IEC 61784-1 and IEC 61784-2.
International Standard IEC 61158-3-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial
networks, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and
automation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007. This edition
constitutes a technical revision. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are
listed below:

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 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 standard is a conceptual architectural service,
independent of administrative and implementation divisions.

Part 3-3: Data-link layer service definition –
Type 3 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 standard defines in an abstract way the externally visible service provided by the Type 3
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 standard is to define the services provided to
– the Type 3 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.
1.2 Specifications
The principal objective of this standard 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 standard does not specify individual implementations or products, nor do they 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 fulfills the Type 1 data-link layer services defined in this standard.
