Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 6-26: Application layer protocol specification - Type 26 elements

IEC 61158-6-26:2019 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 2 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 International Standard specifies interactions between remote applications and defines the externally visible behavior provided by the Type 2 fieldbus application layer. The purpose of this document is to define the protocol provided to
a) define the wire-representation of the service primitives defined in this document, and
b) define the externally visible behavior associated with their transfer. This document specifies the protocol of the Type 2 fieldbus application layer, in conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) and the OSI application layer structure (ISO/IEC 9545).

Réseaux de communication industriels - Spécifications des bus de terrain - Partie 6-26 : Spécification de protocole de couche d’application - Éléments de type 26

L'IEC 61158-6-26:2019 fournit des éléments communs pour les communications de messagerie prioritaires et non prioritaires élémentaires entre les programmes d’application des environnements d’automatisation et le matériel spécifique au bus de terrain de type 26. On utilise le terme "prioritaire" pour traduire la présence d’une fenêtre temporelle, à l’intérieur de laquelle une ou plusieurs actions spécifiées doivent être terminées avec un niveau de certitude défini. Si les actions spécifiées ne sont pas réalisées dans la fenêtre temporelle, les applications demandant les actions risquent de connaître une défaillance, avec les risques que cela comporte pour les équipements, les installations et éventuellement la vie humaine.
La présente norme définit de manière abstraite le comportement, visible par un observateur externe, assuré par les différents Types de la couche Application de bus de terrain, en termes
a) de syntaxe abstraite définissant les unités de données de protocole de la couche Application, transmises entre les entités d'application en communication,
b) de syntaxe de transfert définissant les unités de données de protocole de la couche Application, transmises entre les entités d'application en communication;
c) de diagramme d'états de contexte d'application définissant le comportement de service d'application observable entre les entités d'application en communication; et
d) de diagrammes d'états de relations d'applications définissant le comportement de communication visible entre les entités d'application en communication.

Overview

IEC 61158-6-26:2019 is part of the IEC 61158 fieldbus family and specifies the application layer protocol for Type 26 fieldbus elements. The standard defines common elements for both basic time-critical and non-time-critical messaging between application programs in an automation environment, including the wire representation of service primitives and the externally visible behavior for their transfer. It is aligned with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) and the OSI application layer structure (ISO/IEC 9545).

Key Topics

  • Fieldbus Application Layer (FAL) syntax - abstract and concrete syntax for Type 26 messages.
  • PDU definitions - extensive PDUs including Token, Transparent-msg, Byte/Word block read/write, Network-parameter read/write, Cyclic-data, Trigger, Vendor-specific messages and more.
  • Transfer syntax & encoding rules - rules for encoding octet-strings, SEQUENCE, bitstrings and fixed-length values for interoperable wire representation.
  • Protocol behavior & state machines - FAL protocol state machine structure, timers, counters and variables (token holding, participation, watchdogs) that govern message sequencing and reliability.
  • Network management and topology - logical ring maintenance, node addition/drop-out, successor node handling and node reset/configuration primitives.
  • Time-critical messaging considerations - definitions and mechanisms to support operations that must complete within specified time windows to avoid application or safety failures.

Applications

IEC 61158-6-26 is targeted at professionals implementing or integrating industrial communication systems where a Type 2 fieldbus application layer is required:

  • Device manufacturers building fieldbus-enabled I/O, controllers, and gateways who need to implement standardized PDUs and encoding for interoperability.
  • System integrators and network architects designing industrial networks for factory automation, process control, or safety-critical installations that require deterministic and time-aware messaging.
  • Control and safety engineers who must ensure that time-critical actions meet defined windows to reduce risk to equipment, plant operation and personnel.
  • Test and certification laboratories performing conformance and interoperability testing against the application layer behavior and wire representation.

Practical benefits include consistent message semantics across vendors, deterministic cyclic-data exchange, robust node management, and a repeatable basis for conformance testing and troubleshooting in industrial automation networks.

Related Standards

  • IEC 61158 (Fieldbus specifications) - other parts of the series for lower layers and other types.
  • ISO/IEC 7498-1 (OSI Basic Reference Model) and ISO/IEC 9545 (OSI application layer structure) - normative references that shape the protocol structure and abstractions.

Frequently Asked Questions

IEC 61158-6-26:2019 is a standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Its full title is "Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 6-26: Application layer protocol specification - Type 26 elements". This standard covers: IEC 61158-6-26:2019 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 2 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 International Standard specifies interactions between remote applications and defines the externally visible behavior provided by the Type 2 fieldbus application layer. The purpose of this document is to define the protocol provided to a) define the wire-representation of the service primitives defined in this document, and b) define the externally visible behavior associated with their transfer. This document specifies the protocol of the Type 2 fieldbus application layer, in conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) and the OSI application layer structure (ISO/IEC 9545).
