Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 5-13: Application layer service definition - Type 13 elements

It 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 13 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. 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. 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 of their respective intellectual-property-right holders. International Standard IEC 61158-5-13 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 61158-6 subseries cancel and replace IEC 61158-5:2003. This edition of this part constitutes a technical addition. This part and its Type 13 companion parts also cancel and replace IEC/PAS 62408, published in 2005. This edition of IEC 61158-5 includes the following significant changes from the previous edition: a) deletion of the former Type 6 fieldbus for lack of market relevance; SIST EN 61158-5-13:2008

61158-5-13 © IEC:2007(E) – 5 –
b) addition of new types of fieldbuses; c) partition of part 5 of the third edition into multiple parts numbered -5-2, -5-3, … The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 65C/475/FDIS 65C/486/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under http://webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be: • reconfirmed; • withdrawn; • replaced by a revised edition, or • amended. NOTE

– 6 – 61158-5-13 © IEC:2007(E) 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. SIST EN 61158-5-13:2008

Part 5-13: Application layer service definition – Type 13 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 13 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 different Types of the 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 1) the FAL user at the boundary between the user and the Application Layer of the Fieldbus Reference Model, and 2) 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 IEC fieldbus Application Layer, in conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498) 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 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. SIST EN 61158-5-13:2008

– 8 – 61158-5-13 © IEC:2007(E) 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 any given Type of application layer services as defined in this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

group a) a general term for a collection of objects.
Specific uses: b) when describing an address, an address that identifies more than one entity 3.4.42
invocation act of using a service or other resource of an application process NOTE
Each invocation represents a separate thread of control that may be described by its context. Once the service completes, or use of the resource is released, the invocation ceases to exist. For service invocations, a service that has been initiated but not yet completed is referred to as an outstanding service invocation. Also for service invocations, an Invoke ID may be used to unambiguously identify the service invocation and differentiate it from other outstanding service invocations. 3.4.43

3.6 Conventions 3.6.1 Overview The FAL is defined as a set of object-oriented ASEs. Each ASE is specified in a separate subclause. Each ASE specification is composed of two parts, its class specification, and its service specification. The class specification defines the attributes of the class. The access to these attributes is beyond the scope of this document except where specified. The service specification defines the services that are provided by the ASE. 3.6.2 General conventions This standard uses the descriptive conventions given in ISO/IEC 10731. 3.6.3 Conventions for class definitions Class definitions are described using templates. Each template consists of a list of attributes for the class. The general form of the template is shown below: SIST EN 61158-5-13:2008

(1) The "FAL ASE:" entry is the name of the FAL ASE that provides the services for the class being specified. (2) The "CLASS:" entry is the name of the class being specified. All objects defined using this template will be an instance of this class. The class may be specified by this standard, or by a user of this standard. (3) The "CLASS ID:" entry is a number that identifies the class being specified. This number is not used for Type 13 elements. (4) The "PARENT CLASS:" entry is the name of the parent class for the class being specified. All attributes defined for the parent class and inherited by it are inherited for the class being defined, and therefore do not have to be redefined in the template for this class. NOTE
The parent-class "TOP" indicates that the class being defined is an initial class definition. The parent class TOP is used as a starting point from which all other classes are defined. The use of TOP is reserved for classes defined by this standard.
(5) The "ATTRIBUTES" label indicate that the following entries are attributes defined for the class. a) Each of the attribute entries contains a line number in column 1, a mandatory (m) / optional (o) / conditional (c) / selector (s) indicator in column 2, an attribute type label in column 3, a name or a conditional expression in column 4, and optionally a list of enumerated values in column 5. In the column following the list of values, the default value for the attribute may be specified. b) Objects are normally identified by a numeric identifier or by an object name, or by both. In the class templates, these key attributes are defined under the key attribute. c) The line number defines the sequence and the level of nesting of the line. Each nesting level is identified by period. Nesting is used to specify i) fields of a structured attribute (4.1, 4.2, 4.3), ii) attributes conditional on a constraint statement (5). Attributes may be mandatory (5.1) or optional (5.2) if the constraint is true. Not all optional attributes require constraint statements as does the attribute defined in (5.2). SIST EN 61158-5-13:2008

– 18 – 61158-5-13 © IEC:2007(E) iii) the selection fields of a choice type attribute (6.1 and 6.2). (6) The "SERVICES" label indicates that the following entries are services defined for the class. a) An (m) in column 2 indicates that the service is mandatory for the class, while an (o) indicates that it is optional. A (c) in this column indicates that the service is conditional. When all services defined for a class are defined as optional, at least one has to be selected when an instance of the class is defined. b) The label "OpsService" designates an operational service (1). c) The label "MgtService" designates a management service (2). d) The line number defines the sequence and the level of nesting of the line. Each nesting level is identified by period. Nesting within the list of services is used to specify services conditional on a constraint statement. 3.6.4 Conventions for service definitions 3.6.4.1 General The service model, service primitives, and time-sequence diagrams used are entirely abstract descriptions; they do not represent a specification for implementation. 3.6.4.2 Service parameters Service primitives are used to represent service user/service provider interactions (ISO/IEC 10731). They convey parameters which indicate information available in the user/provider interaction. In any particular interface, not all parameters need be explicitly stated. The service specifications of this standard uses a tabular format to describe the component parameters of the ASE service primitives. The parameters which apply to each group of service primitives are set out in tables. Each table consists of up to five columns for the 1) parameter name, 2) request primitive, 3) indication primitive, 4) response primitive, and 5) confirm primitive. One parameter (or component of it) is listed in each row of each table. Under the appropriate service primitive columns, a code is used to specify the type of usage of the parameter on the primitive specified in the column: M parameter is mandatory for the primitive U parameter is a User option, and may or may not be provided depending on dynamic usage of the service user. When not provided, a default value for the parameter is assumed. C parameter is conditional upon other parameters or upon the environment of the service user. — (blank) parameter is never present. S parameter is a selected item. Some entries are further qualified by items in brackets. These may be a) a parameter-specific constraint: “(=)” indicates that the parameter is semantically equivalent to the parameter in the service primitive to its immediate left in the table. b) an indication that some note applies to the entry: SIST EN 61158-5-13:2008

“(n)” indicates that the following note "n" contains additional information pertaining to the parameter and its use. Service procedures The procedures are defined in terms of • the interactions between application entities through the exchange of fieldbus Application Protocol Data Units, and • the interactions between an application layer service provider and
