Overview

IEC 61158-6-14:2014 is an international standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that defines the application layer protocol specification for Type 14 elements within industrial communication networks employing fieldbus technology. Specifically, this third edition governs the wire representation of service primitives as outlined in IEC 61158-5-14 and prescribes the externally observable behaviors associated with their transfer.

Conforming to the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) and the OSI application layer structure (ISO/IEC 9545), IEC 61158-6-14:2014 provides comprehensive guidelines for the protocol of the Type 14 fieldbus application layer. This edition updates previous versions by correcting editorial errors and revising specifications related to Conformance Parameter Format 4 (CPF4), as well as refining requirements for all conformance classes and services.

Key Topics

  • Application Layer Protocol: Defines the communication protocol used at the application layer for Type 14 fieldbus elements, ensuring standardized structure and data exchange.
  • Service Primitives Wire Representation: Specifies how service primitives defined in IEC 61158-5-14 are represented on the wire, facilitating interoperability.
  • OSI Model Compliance: Aligns with OSI standards for network communication, emphasizing structured layering and interface consistency.
  • Abstract and Transfer Syntax: Covers PDU (Protocol Data Unit) formats, encoding methods for basic data types, and message header structures essential for consistent data transmission.
  • Protocol State Machines: Details the state machine models governing application protocol operations like the Application Access Entity (AAE), Fieldbus Application Layer (FAL) management, and Application Relationship state machines.
  • Conformance Classes and Services: Updates and outlines conformance criteria ensuring devices meet protocol specifications for reliable communication.

Applications

IEC 61158-6-14:2014 is crucial for manufacturers, system integrators, and engineers who develop or implement industrial control systems that utilize Type 14 fieldbus networks. Common applications include:

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.

patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
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.

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 application protocol provides the application service by making use of the services
available from the data-link or other immediately lower 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 application entities (AEs) 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:
• as a guide for implementors and designers;
• for use in the testing and procurement of equipment;
• as part of an agreement for the admittance of systems into the open systems environment;
• 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 6-14: Application layer protocol specification –
Type 14 elements
1 Scope
1.1 General
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 14 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 specifies interactions between remote applications and defines the externally
visible behavior provided by the Type 14 fieldbus application layer in terms of
a) the formal abstract syntax defining the application layer protocol data units conveyed
between communicating application entities;
b) the transfer syntax defining encoding rules that are applied to the application layer
protocol data units;
c) the application context state machine defining the application service behavior visible
between communicating application entities;
d) the application relationship state machines defining the communication behavior visible
between communicating application entities.
The purpose of this standard is to define the protocol provided to
a) define the wire-representation of the service primitives defined in IEC 61158-5-14, and
b) define the externally visible behavior associated with their transfer.
This standard specifies the protocol of the Type 14 fieldbus application layer, in conformance
with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498) and the OSI application layer structure
(ISO/IEC 9545).
1.2 Specifications
The principal objective of this standard is to specify the syntax and behavior of the application
layer protocol that conveys the application layer services defined in IEC 61158-5-14.
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
protocols standardized in the IEC 61158-6 series.

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.
Conformance is achieved through implementation of this application layer protocol
specification.
