Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 6-13: Application layer protocol specification - Type 13 elements (IEC 61158-6-13:2014)
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 13 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 specifies interactions between remote applications and defines the externally
visible behavior provided by the Type 13 fieldbus application layer in terms of
a) the formal abstract syntax defining the application layer protocol data units conveyed
between communicating application entities;
b) the transfer syntax defining encoding rules that are applied to the application layer
protocol data units;
c) the application context state machine defining the application service behavior visible
between communicating application entities;
d) the application relationship state machines defining the communication behavior visible
between communicating application entities.
The purpose of this standard is to define the protocol provided to
1) define the wire-representation of the service primitives defined in IEC 61158-5-13, and
2) define the externally visible behavior associated with their transfer.
This standard specifies the protocol of the Type 13 fieldbus application layer, in conformance
with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498) and the OSI application layer structure
(ISO/IEC 9545).

L'IEC 61158-6-13:2014 décrit le protocole mis en place pour définir la représentation filaire des primitives de service définies dans la CEI 61158-5-13 et définir le comportement visible de l'extérieur associé à leur transfert. La présente norme spécifie le protocole de la couche application de bus de terrain de Type 13, en conformité avec le modèle de référence de base OSI (ISO/CEI 7498-1) et la structure de la couche application OSI (ISO/CEI 9545). Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2007. Elle constitue une révision technique. Les principales modifications sont: ajout de la caractéristique de synchronisation, corrections et améliorations éditoriales.
Industrijska komunikacijska omrežja - Specifikacije za procesna vodila - 6-13. del: Specifikacija protokola na aplikacijski ravni - Elementi tipa 13 (IEC 61158-6-13:2014)
Aplikacijski nivo procesnih vodil (FAL) omogoča uporabniškim programom dostop do komunikacijskega okolja procesnih vodil. Glede na to je mogoče aplikacijski nivo procesnih vodil šteti za »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 13. 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 opredeljuje interakcije med oddaljenimi aplikacijami in določa zunanje vidno vedenje, ki ga zagotavlja aplikacijski nivo procesnih vodil tipa 13 v smislu
a) formalne abstraktne sintakse, ki določa podatkovne enote protokola aplikacijskega nivoja, ki se prenašajo med aplikacijskimi osebki, ki komunicirajo;
b) prenosne sintakse, ki opredeljuje pravila kodiranja, ki se uporabljajo za podatkovne enote protokola aplikacijskega nivoja;
c) stroja stanja aplikacijskega konteksta, ki opredeljuje vedenje aplikacijskega opravila, vidnega med aplikacijskimi osebki, ki komunicirajo;
d) strojev stanja aplikacijskega razmerja, ki opredeljujejo komunikacijsko vedenje med aplikacijskimi osebki, ki komunicirajo.
Namen tega standarda je opredeliti protokol, ki se zagotavlja za
1) določitev žične predstavitve primitivov opravil iz standarda IEC 61158-5-13 in
2) določitev zunanje vidnega vedenja, povezanega z njihovim prenosom.
Ta standard določa protokol aplikacijskega nivoja procesnih vodil tipa 13 v skladu z osnovnim referenčnim modelom OSI (ISO/IEC 7498) in strukturo aplikacijskega nivoja OSI (ISO/IEC 9545).

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 61158-6-13 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

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 protocol provides the application service by making use of the services
available from the data-link or other immediately lower layer. The primary aim of this standard
is to provide a set of rules for communication expressed in terms of the procedures to be
carried out by peer application entities (AEs) at the time of communication. These rules for
communication are intended to provide a sound basis for development in order to serve a
variety of purposes:
– as a guide for implementors and designers;
– for use in the testing and procurement of equipment;
– as part of an agreement for the admittance of systems into the open systems environment;
– as a refinement to the understanding of time-critical communications within OSI.
This standard is concerned, in particular, with the communication and interworking of sensors,
effectors and other automation devices. By using this standard together with other standards
positioned within the OSI or fieldbus reference models, otherwise incompatible systems may
work together in any combination.

Part 6-13: Application layer protocol specification –
Type 13 elements
1 Scope
1.1 General
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 13 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
