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.
NOTE 1 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 61158-5-2 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.

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 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.
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 application layer service defined in this standard is a conceptual architectural
service, independent of administrative and implementation divisions.

Part 5-2: Application layer service definition –
Type 2 elements
1 Scope
1.1 Overview
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 2 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 Type 2
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
a) the FAL user at the boundary between the user and the application layer of the fieldbus
reference model, and
b) 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 Type 2 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

61158-5-2 © IEC:2010(E) – 9 –
send/receive 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.
1.2 Specifications
The principal objective of this standard is to specify the characteristics of conceptual
application layer services suitable for time-critical communications, and thus supplement the
OSI Basic Reference Model in guiding the development of application layer protocols for time-
critical communications.
A secondary objective is to provide migration paths from previously-existing industrial
communications protocols. It is this latter objective which gives rise to the diversity of services
standardized as the various Types of IEC 61158, and the corresponding protocols
standardized in subparts of IEC 61158-6.
This specification may be used as the basis for formal application 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 does it constrain
the implementations of application layer entities within industrial automation systems.
There is no conformance of equipment to this application layer service definition standard.
Instead, conformance is achieved through implementation of conforming application layer
protocols that fulfill the Type 2 application layer services as defined in this standard.

3.6 Type 2 fieldbus application-layer specific definitions
3.6.1
allocate
take a resource from a common area and assign that resource for the exclusive use of a
specific entity
– 12 – 61158-5-2 © IEC:2010(E)
3.6.2
application
function or data structure for which data is consumed or produced
3.6.3
application objects
multiple object classes that manage and provide a run time exchange of messages across the
network and within the network device
3.6.4
application process
part of a distributed application on a network, which is located on one device and
unambiguously addressed
3.6.5
application process object
component of an application process that is identifiable and accessible through an FAL
application relationship
3.6.6
application process object class
a class of application process objects defined in terms of the set of their network-accessible
attributes and services
3.6.7
application relationship
cooperative association between two or more application-entity-invocations for the purpose of
exchange of information and coordination of their joint operation. This relationship is activated
either by the exchange of application-protocol-data-units or as a result of preconfiguration
activities
3.6.8
application relationship application service element
application-service-element that provides the exclusive means for establishing and
terminating all application relationships
3.6.9
application relationship endpoint
context and behavior of an application relationship as seen and maintained by one of the
application processes involved in the application relationship
NOTE Each application process involved in the application relationship maintains its own application relationship
endpoint.
3.6.10
attribute
description of an externally visible characteristic or feature of an object
NOTE The attributes of an object contain information about variable portions of an object. Typically, they provide
status information or govern the operation of an object. Attributes may also affect the behavior of an object.
Attributes are divided into class attributes and instance attributes.
3.6.11
behavior
indication of how an object responds to particular events
3.6.12
boundary clock
clock with more than a single PTP port, with each PTP port providing access to a separate
PTP communication path
61158-5-2 © IEC:2010(E) – 13 –
NOTE Boundary clocks are used to eliminate fluctuations produced by routers and similar network elements.
3.6.13
class
a set of objects, all of which represent the same kind of system component
NOTE A class is a generalization of an object; a template for defining variables and methods. All objects in a
class are identical in form and behavior, but usually contain different data in their attributes.
3.6.14
class attributes
attribute that is shared by all objects within the same class
3.6.15
class code
unique identifier assigned to each object class
3.6.16
class specific service
service defined by a particular object class to perform a required function which is not
performed by a common service
NOTE A class specific object is unique to the object class which defines it.
3.6.17
client
a) object which uses the services of another (server) object to perform a task
b) initiator of a message to which a server reacts
3.6.18
clock
device providing a measurement of the passage of time since a defined epoch
NOTE There are two types of clocks in IEC 61588:2009, boundary clocks and ordinary clocks.
3.6.19
communication objects
components that manage and provide a run time exchange of messages across the network
EXAMPLES Connection Manager object, Unconnected Message Manager (UCMM) object, and Message Router
object
3.6.20
connection
logical binding between application objects that may be within the same or different devices
NOTE 1 Connections may be either point-to-point or multipoint.
NOTE 2 The logical link between sink and source of attributes and services at different custom interfaces of RT-
Auto ASEs is referred to as interconnection. There is a distinction between data and event interconnections. The
logical link and the data flow between sink and source of automation data items is referred to as data
interconnection. The logical link and the data flow between sink (method) and source (event) of operational
services is referred to as event interconnection.
3.6.21
connection ID (CID)
identifier assigned to a transmission that is associated with a particular connection between
p
