Overview

EN 61158-4-22:2014 (identical to IEC 61158-4-22:2014) is the Data-Link Layer protocol specification for Fieldbus Type 22 in industrial communication networks. The standard defines procedures and data structures that ensure the timely transfer of data and control information between data‑link user entities and among distributed data‑link service providers. This second edition supersedes the 2010 edition and introduces technical revisions including new topology scan PDUs, a bug fix for a missing version field, and new Physical Link descriptors.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • DLPDU structure and encoding: Describes the format and representation of Data‑Link Protocol Data Units (DLPDUs) and how they map to physical interface data units.
  • Timely data transfer procedures: Specifies mechanisms to guarantee deterministic transfer of cyclic and message data, including telegram timing and DLPDU handling.
  • Communication channels:
    • Cyclic Data Channel (CDC) for repeated real‑time data exchange.
    • Message Channel (MSC) and the MSC Message Transfer Protocol (MSC‑MTP) for on‑demand messaging.
  • Communication management DLPDUs: Elements for network verification, connection setup/release, and connection keep‑alive.
  • Topology and scanning: New topology scan PDUs to detect and manage network topology.
  • Protocol machines: Defined state machines for device behavior (e.g., RTFN and RTFL device protocol machines), send/receive procedures, segmentation and expedited transfer handling.
  • Time synchronization: Provisions to support precision clock synchronization in networked measurement and control systems.
  • Gateway and interoperability: Guidelines for gateway behavior and interaction models to integrate Type 22 with other network segments.
  • Conformance and normative references: References to related standards that impact implementation and testing.

Practical applications and users

This standard is essential for professionals implementing, testing or integrating industrial fieldbus systems where deterministic, timely data transfer is required. Typical users include:

  • Fieldbus device and transceiver manufacturers implementing Type 22 data‑link protocols
  • Control system and PLC vendors integrating deterministic communication
  • System integrators and network engineers designing industrial networks
  • Test labs and QA engineers validating conformance, timing and interoperability
  • Standards bodies and certification organizations

Use cases include cyclical I/O exchange in process and factory automation, time‑sensitive control loops, and mixed networks requiring gateways between fieldbuses and Ethernet/UDP transports.

Related standards

Normative and informative references that frame or complement this specification:

  • IEC 61158-3-22 (Data‑link layer service definition - Type 22)

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.
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 61158-4-22 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 2010. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following technical changes with respect to the previous edition.
• Introduction of new topology scan PDUs.

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 implementers 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 the 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 patents concerning
Type 22 elements and possibly other types:

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) 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.
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.

This standard also specifies conformance requirements for systems implementing these
procedures.
This part of IEC 61158 does not contain tests to demonstrate compliance with such
requirements.
