Industrial communication networks - Fieldbus specifications - Part 6-2: Application layer protocol specification - Type 2 elements

OVERVIEW

IEC 61158-6-2:2014 defines the protocol provided to define the wire-representation of the service primitives defined in IEC 61158-5-2, and define the externally visible behavior associated with their transfer. This standard 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). This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010 and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes are:

- Updates of definition used by the Time Sync object;

- Addition of "member" and object specific services in 4.1.2.1, 4.1.8, 4.1.10, 8.2;

- Removal of obsolete transport classes 4 to 6 in 4.1.4.6, and 9.3.9 to 9.3.12;

- Clarification of transport header formats in 4.1.4;

- Update of CM and MR PDUs in 4.1.5 to 4.1.7;

- Updates of Identity object PDUs in 4.1.8.2;

- Updates of Assembly object PDUs in 4.1.8.4;

- Updates of Time sync object PDUs in 4.1.8.6;
