Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 4-11: Data-link layer protocol specification - Type 11 elements
It provides basic time-critical messaging communications between devices in an automation environment. This protocol provides communication opportunities to all participating data-link entities in a synchronously-starting cyclic manner, according to a pre-established schedule, and 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. It includes the following significant changes with respect to the previous edition deletion of the former Type 6 fieldbus, and the placeholder for a Type 5 fieldbus data-link layer, for lack of market relevance; addition of new types of fieldbuses; division of this part into multiple parts numbered.

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. NOTE

61158-4-11 © IEC:2007(E) – 7 – 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.

Part 4-11: Data-link layer protocol specification – Type 11 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. SIST EN 61158-4-11:2008
61158-4-11 © 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. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this standard.

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 3.3.5
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. (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. Figure 1 – Relationships of DLSAPs, DLSAP-addresses and group DL-addresses 3.3.6
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. SIST EN 61158-4-11:2008
– 14 – 61158-4-11 © IEC:2007(E) 3.3.7
(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. 3.3.8
extended link DL-subnetwork, consisting of the maximal set of links interconnected by DL-relays, sharing a single DL-name (DL-address) space, in which any of the connected DL-entities may communicate, one with another, either directly or with the assistance of one or more of those intervening DL-relay entities NOTE
An extended link may be composed of just a single link. 3.3.9
FCS error error that occurs when the computed frame check sequence value after reception of all the octets in a DLPDU does not match the expected residual 3.3.10
frame denigrated synonym for DLPDU 3.3.11
group DL-address DL-address that potentially designates more than one DLSAP within the extended link. A single DL-entity may have multiple group DL-addresses associated with a single DLSAP. A single DL-entity also may have a single group DL-address associated with more than one DLSAP 3.3.12
high-speed cyclic data data conveyed by means of high-speed cyclic data transmission 3.3.13
high-speed cyclic data transmission highest priority of time-critical cyclic data service 3.3.14
implicit token mechanism that governs the right to transmit NOTE
No actual token message is transmitted on the medium. Each node keeps track of the node that it believes currently holds the right to transmit. The right to transmit is passed from node to node by keeping the node that last transmitted. A slot time is used to allow a missing node to be skipped in the rotation. 3.3.15
low-speed cyclic data data conveyed by means of low-speed cyclic data transmission 3.3.16
low-speed cyclic data transmission lowest priority of time-critical cyclic data service 3.3.17

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. 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) 3.3.20
multipoint connection connection from one node to many nodes
NOTE
Multipoint connections allows data transfer from a single publisher to be received by many subscriber nodes. 3.3.21
node single DL-entity as it appears on one local link 3.3.22
node DL-address DL-address which designates the (single) DL-entity associated with a single node on a specific local link 3.3.23
node-id two-octet primary identifier for the DLE on the local link, whose values are constrained NOTE
A permissible value is from 1 to 255. A value 0 is specifically used for SYN node, which emits SYN frame. 3.3.24
receiving DLS-user DL-service user that acts as a recipient of DL-user-data NOTE
A DL-service user can be concurrently both a sending and receiving DLS-user. 3.3.25
