Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 5-9: Application layer service definition - Type 9 elements (IEC 61158-5-9:2014)

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 9 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 different Types of 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 IEC fieldbus Application Layer, in conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) 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/rec eive 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.

Industrijska komunikacijska omrežja - Specifikacije za procesna vodila - 5-9. del: Definicija opravil na aplikacijski ravni - Elementi tipa 9 (IEC 61158-5-9:2014)

Aplikacijski nivo procesnih vodil (FAL) omogoča uporabniškim programom dostop do komunikacijskega okolja procesnih vodil. Glede na to je mogoče aplikacijski nivo procesnih vodil obravnavati kot »okno med ustreznimi aplikacijami«.
Ta standard določa skupne elemente za osnovne časovno kritične in časovno nekritične sporočilne komunikacije med aplikacijami v avtomatizacijskem okolju in material, specifičen za procesna vodila tipa 9. 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 aplikacijski nivo procesnih vodil različnih tipov v smislu
a) abstraktnega modela za določanje aplikacijskih virov (objektov), ki ga lahko upravljajo uporabniki prek opravila aplikacijskega nivoja procesnih vodil,
b) primitivnih dejanj in dogodkov opravila;
c) parametrov, povezanih z vsakim primitivnim dejanjem in dogodkom, ter obliko, ki jo prevzamejo; in
d) medsebojne povezave med temi dejanji in dogodki ter njihovimi veljavnimi zaporedji.
Namen tega standarda je določiti opravila, ki se zagotavljajo za
1) uporabnika FAL na meji med uporabnikom in referenčnim modelom aplikacijskega nivoja procesnega vodila, in
2) upravljanje sistemov na meji med aplikacijskim nivojem in upravljanjem sistemov za referenčni model procesnega vodila.
Ta standard določa strukturo in opravila aplikacijskega nivoja procesnih vodil IEC v skladu z osnovnim referenčnim modelom OSI (ISO/IEC 7498-1) in strukturo aplikacijskega nivoja OSI (ISO/IEC 9545).
Opravila in protokole aplikacijskega nivoja procesnih vodil zagotavljajo aplikacijski osebki (AE) aplikacijskega nivoja procesnih vodil znotraj aplikacijskih procesov. Aplikacijski osebek aplikacijskega nivoja procesnih vodil sestavljata sklop objektno usmerjenih aplikacijskih opravilnih elementov (ASE) in osebek za upravljanje nivojev (LME), ki upravlja aplikacijski osebek. Aplikacijski opravilni elementi zagotavljajo komunikacijska opravila, ki delujejo na sklopu povezanih razredov objektov aplikacijskega procesa (APO). Med aplikacijske opravilne elemente aplikacijskega nivoja procesnih vodil spada aplikacijski opravilni element za upravljanje, ki zagotavlja skupen sklop opravil za upravljanje primerkov razredov aplikacijskega nivoja procesnih vodil.
Čeprav ta opravila določajo način izdajanja in dostavljanja zahtev in odzivov z vidika aplikacij, ne zajemajo specifikacije v zvezi s tem, kako naj se nanje odzovejo aplikacije, ki te zahteve in odzive oddajajo. To pomeni, da vedenjski vidiki aplikacij niso določeni; določena je le definicija zahtev in odzivov, ki jih lahko pošiljajo/prejemajo. Tako se uporabnikom aplikacijskega nivoja procesnih vodil omogoči večja prilagodljivost pri standardizaciji takega vedenja objektov. Poleg teh opravil so v tem standardu opredeljena tudi nekatera podporna opravila, da se omogoči dostop do aplikacijskega nivoja procesnih vodil za nadzorovanje nekaterih vidikov njegovega delovanja.

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 61158-5-9 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 change with respect to the previous edition is 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.
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.
