Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 4-19: Data-link layer protocol specification - Type 19 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.

Part 4-19: Data-link layer protocol specification – Type 19 elements
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 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.
IEC draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this standard may involve the use of patents
as follows, where the [xx] notation indicates the holder of the patent right:
Type 19 and possibly other Types:

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 4-19: Data-link layer protocol specification – Type 19 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) 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.
1.5 Conformance
This standard also specifies conformance requirements for systems implementing these
procedures. This part of this standard does not contain tests to demonstrate compliance with
such requirements.
