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.
International Standard IEC 61158-4-14 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial
networks, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and
automation.

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 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.
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 profile parts. Use of the various protocol types in other combinations may
require permission from their respective intellectual-property-right holders.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is
claimed that compliance with this document may involve the use of a patent concerning Type
14 elements and possibly other types given in subclause 5 as f o l l o w s :
CN200410088676.7 [SP] Scheduling method with deterministic communication based on
Ethernet
IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of these patent rights.
The holder of this patent right has assured the IEC that he/she is willing to negotiate licences
either free of charge or under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with
applicants throughout the world. In this respect, the statement of the holder of this patent right
is registered with IEC. Information may be obtained from:

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
subject of patent rights other than those identified above. IEC shall not be held responsible for
identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO (www.iso.org/patents) and IEC (http://www.iec.ch/tctools/patent_decl.htm) maintain on-
line data bases of patents relevant to their standards. Users are encouraged to consult the
data bases for the most up to date information concerning patents.

Part 4-14: Data-link layer protocol specification –
Type 14 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;
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.

– 8 – 61158-4-14 © IEC:2010(E)
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.

4 Overview of the DL-protocol
4.1 General
4.1.1 DLL architecture
According to the basic fieldbus reference model defined in IEC/TR 61158-1, the Type 14 DLL
is modeled in Figure 2 as an integrated Data link layer with UDP(TCP), IP, MAC and LLC
sublayers defined in ISO/IEC 8802-3 and an extension protocol defined in this part of the
IEC 61158 series, where

• the Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) defined in RFC 793 is applied;
• the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) defined in RFC 768 is applied;
• the Internet Propocol (IP) defined in RFC 791 is applied;
• the Logic Link Control (LLC) protocol defined in ISO/IEC 8802-3 is applied;
• the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer protocol defined in ISO/IEC 8802-3 is applied.
Additionally, a DLL extension sublayer is defined as the Type 14 communication scheduling
management entity (ECSME) on ISO/IEC 8802-3 data link protocol to manage the
deterministic communication and regular communication.
This ECSME provides the following functions:
• transparent data transferring between DLE and DLS_User specified in ISO/IEC 8802-3
without modifying the data;
• receiving DLS_User DATA from DLS_User and buffering them;
• transferring DLS_User DATA to DLE in configured order and priority. The DLE will send it
to Ethernet network using the protocols defined in ISO/IEC 8802-3;
• transferring decoded DLPDU from DLE to DLS_User.
ECSME supports two ways of communication scheduling:
• free competitive communication scheduling based on the CSMA/CD;
• deterministic communication based on the time-sharing scheduling policy defined later.

61158-4-14 © IEC:2010(E) – 17 –
When the former scheduling is used, ECSME shall directly transfer the data between DLE and
DLS_User without any buffering or handling.
When the latter k) is used, the ECSME in each Type 14 device shall transfer DLS_User DATA
to DLE according to the pre-configured timing order and priority, the DLE shall process the
data and send it to PhL, so that the collision is avoided.
4.1.2 Type 14 communication scheduling management entity (ECSME)
ECSME is the extension based on LLC defined in ISO/IEC 8802-3. It transfers data between
DLS_User and LLC without any changing.
ECSME does not alter the services provided by DLL to DLS_User defined in ISO/IEC 8802-3
as well as the interface between PhL and MAC. It only provides the transmission management
of the DLS_User data.
4.1.3 Transaction between DLL and PhL
The transactions between DLL and PhL defined in ISO/IEC 8802-3 are applied without any
changes.
4.1.4 Time synchronization
The time in all Type 14 devices shall be synchronized for the purpose of communication
scheduling (see IEC 61158-5-14).
4.2 Services provided by the DL
4.2.1 Overview
The DLL provides connectionless data transfer services and connection-mode data transfer
services defined in ISO/IEC 8802-3, RFC 791, RFC 768 and RFC 793 protocols.
4.2.2 Priority
Six levels of priority for packet transmission are defined in this specification, namely 0, 1, 2, 3,
4, 5. These are associated with the services defined in IEC 61158-5-14. The highest priority,
that is 0, is used for the cyclic sending of DLSDUs. The execution timing for this fieldbus
scheduled service shall be accurate and repeatable to less than 1 ms for RT applications.
Services with the highest priority are used with UDP/IP protocols. And for FRT applications,
the execution timing for this fieldbus scheduled service shall be accurate and repeatable to
less than 1 us for RT application. Services with the highest priority are used with DLL
protocols directly.
The low priorities provide for sending of DLSDUs only on an as-available basis. Data on these
priorities are sent only when all other higher data priorities have been sent and a sending
opportunity is available. For FRT applications, only one device can send the Nonperiodicdata
in a communication macrocycle. It is recommended that the device which gets opportunity to
send the Nonperiodicdata should send all its Nonperiodicdatas unless non-periodic packet
transferring phase is not enough.
4.2.3 Ethernet type identifier
This specification adopts a registered value of 0x88CB assigned by IANA for LENGTH/TYPE
field in Ethernet frame to identify a Type 14 packet (see Figure 3).

4.2.4 Time synchronization
The time in all Type 14 devices shall be synchronized for the purpose of communication
scheduling.
4.3 Structure of deterministic communication scheduling
Within a Type 14 micro-segment, the communication procedure is repeated. The time to
complete a communication procedure is called communication macrocycle and marked as T.
Each communication macrocycle (T) is divided into two phases, periodic packet transferring
phase (Tp) and non-periodic packet transferring phase (Tn) (see Figure 4).
