Overview

IEC 60839-7-3 - Alarm systems - Part 7-3: Common data link layer protocol - specifies the data link layer message structure, formats and transmission procedures for serial data interfaces in alarm transmission systems when the underlying transmission network does not provide a standard protocol. The objective is to ensure interoperability of alarm equipment (intrusion, fire, access control, social alarm systems) from different suppliers by defining a simple, OSI‑layered poll/response protocol with a single MASTER and one or more SLAVEs.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Message structure: each data link message uses the format STX (02 HEX), LENGTH, SLAVE ADDRESS, control bits (K, S, R), X/Y octet, DATA LINK DATA BLOCK TYPE, up to 248 octets of data, and a 2‑octet CRC.
  • CRC: 2‑octet cyclic redundancy check using polynomial generator X^16 + X^12 + X^5 + 1.
  • Control bits and fields:
    • K bit (bit 7 of 3rd octet): indicates Data Link Layer Authentication (DLLA) active (1) or not (0).
    • S bit (sequence bit, bit 6): toggled by MASTER for each new message; SLAVEs mirror the incoming S bit.
    • R bit: reserved (should be 0).
    • X/Y octet: set to X for MASTER-transmitted messages and Y for SLAVE messages.
  • Addressing: unique node addresses in range 01–1F HEX (1–31 decimal).
  • Timeouts:
    • Message time-out: maximum time between end of sent message and first octet of response (related to IEC 60839-5-1 transmission delay table).
    • Restart time-out: used by potential MASTERs to detect inactivity before assuming MASTER role; Time-out = (ADD × 50 ms) + 3000 ms.
  • Initialization & operation: general poll / acknowledge, DLLA exchange during initialization using random variables (X, Q) and modular arithmetic Y = (X ADD Q) mod 256, normal poll/response, multipoint scheduling, and procedures for error handling and MASTER/SLAVE re-initialization.
  • Multipoint support: point-to-point and point-to-multipoint supported; multipoint-to-multipoint is not supported (MASTER can route SLAVE-to-SLAVE messages).

Applications

  • Ensures interoperability of alarm transmitters, central receivers and communicators when using serial interfaces without native network protocols.
  • Suitable for designers and integrators of intrusion detection, fire alarm networks, access control systems and social alarm services that require standardized data link behavior.
  • Enables reliable, auditable alarm transmission with explicit acknowledgements and basic authentication at the data link layer.

Who should use this standard

  • Alarm system manufacturers and hardware vendors
  • System integrators and installation engineers
  • Network and telecom engineers specifying serial alarm links
  • Test laboratories, certifiers and procurement teams seeking supplier interoperability

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60839-7-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 79: Alarm
systems.

ALARM SYSTEMS –
Part 7-3: Message formats and protocols for serial data interfaces
in alarm transmission systems –
Common data link layer protocol
1 Scope
This part of IEC 60839 specifies the data link layer message structure, formats and
transmission procedures which should be used at standard serial data interfaces in alarm
transmission systems where the transmission network employed does not offer a standard
protocol. This is necessary in order to ensure compatibility of equipment from different
suppliers.
The standard applies equally to the transmission of alarms and other messages to/from
intrusion, fire, access control and social alarm systems, and to the transmission of information
to/from other similar systems.
The protocol is based on a simple poll response algorithm, with a single MASTER and one or
more SLAVEs. The protocol defined allows for point-point and point-multipoint operation.
Multipoint to multipoint operation is not supported, however the structure does support the
transmission of messages from one SLAVE to another, using the MASTER as a simple router.
The structure follows the OSI recommendations for a layered protocol to allow flexibility in the
use of the physical layer.

5 General
The basic protocol employed is a poll-response, with a single MASTER. Where there is more
than a single SLAVE, the MASTER will normally poll each slave in turn.
Messages requiring transmission shall be formatted into one or more data link data blocks,
which shall be transmitted in order to the intended destination.
Each transmitted data link data block shall be explicitly acknowledged before the transmission
of a subsequent block.
6 Data link data block
The data link shall transmit messages with the following structure:
STX
LENGTH
SLAVE ADDRESS
KS R
(5 bits)
X/Y
DATA LINK DATA BLOCK TYPE
DATA LINK DATA
max. 248 octets
CRC
The STX octet shall be 02 HEX.
The message LENGTH shall be the number of octets following the LENGTH octet up to (and
including) the CRC.
The bit K (bit 7 of 3rd octet) shall be set (=1) to specify a message in which the data link layer
authentication (DLLA) function is active, and unset (=0) where it is not.
The bit R (bit 5 of 3rd octet) is reserved and should be unset (=0).
The bit S (bit 6 of 3rd octet) is a sequence bit, and shall initially be unset (=0). The bit shall be
set (=1) in the INIT DLLA data link data block type and shall be toggled for each new message
transmitted by the MASTER. A SLAVE shall always set the S bit equal to the corresponding bit
in the incoming message.
The X/Y octet is set to X for messages transmitted from the MASTER, and to Y for messages
transmitted from a SLAVE.
