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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.
NOTE  Use of some of the associated protocol types is restricted by their 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 particular data-link layer protocol type to be used with physical layer and application layer protocols in Type
combinations as specified explicitly in the IEC 61784 series. Use of the various protocol types in other
combinations may require permission from their respective intellectual-property-right holders.
International Standard IEC 61158-4-13 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial
networks, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and
automation.
This first edition and its companion parts of the IEC 61158-4 subseries cancel and replace
IEC 61158-4:2003. This edition of this part constitutes a technical addition, which also
replaces IEC/PAS 62408, published in 2005.
This edition of IEC 61158-4 includes the following significant changes from the previous
edition:
a) deletion of the former Type 6 fieldbus, and the placeholder for a Type 5 fieldbus data link
layer, for lack of market relevance;

– 6 – 61158-4-13 © IEC:2007(E)
b) addition of new types of fieldbuses;

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/TR 61158-1.
The data-link protocol provides the data-link service by making use of the services available
from the physical 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 data-link
entities (DLEs) 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:
a) as a guide for implementors and designers;
b) for use in the testing and procurement of equipment;
c) as part of an agreement for the admittance of systems into the open systems environment;
d) 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.

FIELDBUS SPECIFICATIONS –
Part 4-13: Data-link layer protocol specification – Type 13 elements

1 Scope
1.1 General
The data-link layer provides basic time-critical messaging communications between devices in
an automation environment.
This protocol provides communication opportunities to all participating data-link entities
a) in a synchronously-starting cyclic manner, according to a pre-established schedule, and
b) in a cyclic or acyclic asynchronous manner, as requested each cycle by each of those
data-link entities.
Thus this protocol can be characterized as one which provides cyclic and acyclic access
asynchronously but with a synchronous restart of each cycle.
1.2 Specifications
This standard specifies
a) procedures for the timely transfer of data and control information from one data-link user
entity to a peer user entity, and among the data-link entities forming the distributed data-
link service provider;
b) procedures for giving communications opportunities to all participating DL-entities,
sequentially and in a cyclic manner for deterministic and synchronized transfer at cyclic
intervals up to one millisecond;
c) procedures for giving communication opportunities available for time-critical data
transmission together with non-time-critical data transmission without prejudice to the
time-critical data transmission;
d) procedures for giving cyclic and acyclic communication opportunities for time-critical data
transmission with prioritized access;
e) procedures for giving communication opportunities based on standard ISO/ IEC 8802-3
medium access control, with provisions for nodes to be added or removed during normal
operation;
f) the structure of the fieldbus DLPDUs used for the transfer of data and control information
by the protocol of this standard, and their representation as physical interface data units.
1.3 Procedures
The procedures are defined in terms of
a) the interactions between peer DL-entities (DLEs) through the exchange of fieldbus
DLPDUs;
b) the interactions between a DL-service (DLS) provider and a DLS-user in the same system
through the exchange of DLS primitives;
c) the interactions between a DLS-provider and a Ph-service provider in the same system
through the exchange of Ph-service primitives.

61158-4-13 © IEC:2007(E) – 9 –
1.4 Applicability
These procedures are applicable to instances of communication between systems which
support time-critical communications services within the data-link layer of the OSI or fieldbus
reference models, and which require the ability to interconnect in an open systems
interconnection environment.
Profiles provide a simple multi-attribute means of summarizing an implementation’s
capabilities, and thus its applicability to various time-critical communications needs.
1.5 Conformance
This standard also specifies conformance requirements for systems implementing these
procedures. This standard does not contain tests to demonstrate compliance with such
requirements.

3.3 Data-link service terms and definitions
3.3.1
async-only CN
CN that is accessed only by polling
3.3.2
asynchronous period
second part of the Type 13 cycle, starting with a start of asynchronous (SoA) frame
3.3.3
basic Ethernet mode
mode that provides legacy Ethernet communication
3.3.4
continuous
communication class where isochronous communication takes place every cycle (the opposite
to multiplexed)
3.3.5
controlled node (CN)
network node without the ability to manage the SCNM mechanism
3.3.6
cycle state machine
state machine that controls the data-link layer cycle and is itself controlled by the NMT state
machine which determines the current operating mode
3.3.7
cycle time
time between two consecutive start of cyclic (SoC) frames
NOTE  The Cycle Time includes the time for data transmission and some idle time before the beginning of the next
cycle.
3.3.8
DLCEP-address
DL-address which designates either
a) one peer DL-connection-end-point, or

61158-4-13 © IEC:2007(E) – 13 –
b) one multi-peer publisher DL-connection-end-point and implicitly the corresponding set of
subscriber DL-connection-end-points where each DL-connection-end-point exists within a
distinct DLSAP and is associated with a corresponding distinct DLSAP-address
3.3.9
DL-segment, link, local link
single DL-subnetwork in which any of the connected DLEs may communicate directly, without
any intervening DL-relaying, whenever all of those DLEs that are participating in an instance
of communication are simultaneously attentive to the DL-subnetwork during the period(s) of
attempted communication
3.3.10
DLSAP
distinctive point at which DL-services are provided by a single DL-entity to a single higher-
layer entity
NOTE  This definition, derived from ISO/IEC 7498-1, is repeated here to facilitate understanding of the critical
distinction between DLSAPs and their DL-addresses.
3.3.11
DL(SAP)-address
either an individual DLSAP-address, designating a single DLSAP of a single DLS-user, or a
group DL-address potentially designating multiple DLSAPs, each of a single DLS-user.
NOTE  This terminology is chosen because ISO/IEC 7498-3 does not permit the use of the term DLSAP-address to
designate more than a single DLSAP at a single DLS-user.
3.3.12
(individual) DLSAP-address
DL-address that designates only one DLSAP within the extended link
NOTE  A single DL-entity may have multiple DLSAP-addresses associated with a single DLSAP. (See Figure 1.)

NOTE 1  DLSAPs and PhSAPs are depicted as ovals spanning the boundary between two adjacent layers.
NOTE 2  DL-addresses are depicted as designating small gaps (points of access) in the DLL portion of a DLSAP.
NOTE 3  A single DL-entity may have multiple DLSAP-addresses and group DL-addresses associated with a
single DLSAP.

3.3.13
Type 13 fieldbus cycle
fixed time interval consecutively repeated which is organized by the MN
3.3.14
Type 13 fieldbus node ID
unique number within one Type 13 network used to addres a Type 13 fieldbus node
3.3.15
frame
denigrated synonym for DLPDU
3.3.16
isochronous data
data which is transmitted every cycle (or every nth cycle in case of multiplexed isochronous
data)
3.3.17
isochronous period
period within each cycle that offers deterministic operation through being reserved for the
exchange of (continuous or multiplexed) isochronous data

61158-4-13 © IEC:2007(E) – 15 –
3.3.18
legacy Ethernet
Ethernet as standardized in ISO/IEC 8802-3 (non-deterministic operation in non-time-critical
environments).
3.3.19
managing node
node that can manage the SCNM mechanism
3.3.20
multiplexed
communication class where cyclic communication takes place in such a way that m nodes are
served in s cycles (an alternative to continuous)
3.3.21
multiplexed timeslot
timeslot assigned to multiplexed isochronous data and shared among multiple nodes
3.3.22
multipoint connection
connection from one node to many nodes.
NOTE  Multipoint connection allows data transfer from a single publisher to many subscriber nodes.
3.3.23
multi-peer DLC
centralized multi-end-point DL-connection offering DL-duplex-transmission between a single
distinguished DLS-user known as the publisher or publishing DLS-user, and a set of peer but
undistinguished DLS-users known collectively as the subscribers or subscribing DLS-users,
where the publishing DLS-user can send to the subscribing DLS-users as a group (but not
individually), and the subscribing DLS-users can send to the publishing DLS-user (but not to
each other).
3.3.24
NetTime
clock time of the MN as distributed to all CNs within the SoC frame.
3.3.25
network management
management functions and services that perform network initialization, configuration and error
handling
3.3.26
node
single DL-entity as it appears on one local link
3.3.27
PollRequest
frame which is used in the isochronous part of a communications cycle
3.3.28
PollResponse
frame which is used in the isochronous part of a communications cycle to respond to a
PollRequest frame

3.3.29
process data object
object for isochronous data exchange between nodes
3.3.30
protocol
convention about the data formats, time sequences, and error correction in the data exchange
of communication systems
3.3.31
receiving DLS-user
DL-service user that acts as a recipient of DLS-user-data
NOTE  A DL-service user can be concurrently both a sending and receiving DLS-user.
3.3.32
sending DLS-user
DL-service user that acts as a source of DLS-user-data
3.3.33
service data object
object for asynchronous data exchange between nodes
3.3.34
slot communication network management
mechanism which ensures that there are no collisions during physical network access of any
of the networked nodes, thus providing deterministic communication via legacy Ethernet
