What is BS EN 61158-4-8 - Data link layer protocol type 8 elements about?
BS EN 61158-4-8 is part of the BS EN IEC 61158 series that has been created to facilitate the interconnection of automation system components. The data-link layer provides basic time-critical messaging communications between devices in an automation environment. The data-link layer provides basic time-critical messaging communications between devices in an automation environment.
BS EN 61158-4-8 provides a highly optimized means of interchanging fixed-length input/output data and variable-length segmented messages between a single master device and a set of slave devices interconnected in a loop (ring) topology. The exchange of input/output data is totally synchronous by configuration and is unaffected by the messaging traffic.
BS EN 61158-4-8 specifies:
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 datalink service provider
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
