FIELD DEVICE INTEGRATION (FDI) –

Part 103-1: Profiles – PROFIBUS

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.

5.2.4 Protocol version information
IEC 62769-4 defines an element type named InterfaceT for the Catalog XML schema. The
element type InterfaceT contains an element named Version which is supposed to provide
version information about the applied communication protocol profile. The value has to follow
the IEC 62769-4 defined version information schema defined in the element type VersionT.
Table 5 describes how to apply the currently known protocol versions defined by the non-
profit consortium PROFIBUS & PROFINET International. The general rule is to apply the
value “0” for parts of the version information according to IEC 62769-4 that are not used in
currently known protocol versions.

b
PROFIBUS PA 3.02 3.2.0
a
The protocols PROFIBUS DP/V0, PROFIBUS DP/V1 and PROFIBUS DP/V2 contain a single number. This
number is considered to be the major version. The minor and built numbers are set to “0”.
b
The currently known PROFIBUS PA profile number is considered to provide major and minor version
information. Leading zeros are not considered in version value evaluation since only the actual decimal
values are relevant.
5.3 Associating a Package with a device
5.3.1 Device type identification mapping
The purpose of device type identification mapping is to enable FDI host systems to compare
the scan result against the topology representation in the Information Model. FDI host
systems shall also be enabled to determine the FDI Device Package that fits for a device
entry contained in the scan result. This will enable the user of an FDI host system to
synchronize the Information Model with the actual installation.
The Communication Server implemented scan service (defined in 5.6.1.7) provides the scan
result through an XML document (the schema is defined in Clause A.5).
The Gateway implemented scan service (defined in 5.6.2.7) provides the scan result by
means of the Information Model that contains data structures created from EDD content as
specified in 5.6.2.7.
Common for both ways of presenting the scan result is that scan results contain device type
identification and device instance identification.
FDI host systems comparing the actual network topology configuration against the topology
representation in the Information Model shall be enabled to handle the following situations:
a) The physical Device instance identified at a specific device address is not logically
present in the Information Model (as Instance): Enable the FDI Host system to find the
appropriate FDI Device package according to the device catalogue information.
b) The physical Device instance identified by the device address is logically present in the
Information Model (as Instance): Enable the FDI Host system to compare device type
information presented in the scan result (see the identification in Clause A.5) and the
device type specific information of the Instance present in the Information Model.
The FDI Device package contains device type identification information that can be compared
to the scan result based on the Catalog Schema in IEC 62769-4 defining the XML (simple)
element types “DeviceModel” and “Manufacturer”. Both types are used in the (complex)
element types “Protocol” and “RegDeviceType”.
As a result of the FDI Package deployment the FDI Package information is then present in the
Information Model as the specified FunctionalGroup Identification containing Ident_Number
and Manufacturer_ID (see 5.4.3). The Ident_Number matches with the GSD specified

protocol versions will be defined.

Ident_Number. Manufacturer_ID is specified through the I&M profile defined VendorID and
DeviceID (see 5.4.3).
The mapping between different device identification data sources is described in Table 6.
Since scan results provided by the Communication Server or Gateway can convey data that is
produced by the device (firmware) the device type identification mapping shall be supported
by providing corresponding data in the FDI Device Package contained Catalog and
Information Model.

5.3.2 Device type revision mapping
IEC 62769-4 envisions a concept that allows to determine the compatibility between an FDI
Device Package and a Device. IEC 62769-4 specifies a life cycle management process
bearing on a single version information provided for the entire device.
NOTE PROFIBUS related specifications, for example PI Order No.: 2.122:2008 (GSD) and PI Order No.:
3.502:2009 (I&M) splits the device type revision into software and hardware related information. The GSD specifies
the attributes Hardware_Release and Software_Release. The I&M specifies HARDWARE_REVISION and
SOFTWARE_REVISION. Hardware_Release and HARDWARE_REVISION must always match. Software_Release
and SOFTWARE_REVISION must always match.
The goal of 5.3.2 is to describe the translation rules between PROFIBUS related
specifications, describing their way of providing the version information, and the IEC 62769-4
specified way of containing the version information that can be compared against the version
read from the device. The purpose is to determine the compatibility between an FDI Device
Package and a Device. Figure 1 depicts the problem.

Figure 1 – Version mapping problem
The firmware of a device implements the data exchange interface which shall be described by
means of the FDI Device Package content (EDD). A device firmware that implements the
PROFIBUS PA profile enables the reading of the values SOFTWARE_REVISION and

IEC 62769-103-1:2015 © IEC 2015 – 13 –
HARDWARE_REVISION. The access to these values shall be described in the EDD contained
in the FDI Device Package.
Firmware modifications that affect the firmware implemented data exchange interface shall be
reflected in the FDI Device Package. Such firmware and device description modification shall
be visible in the SOFTWARE_REVISION and Software_Release.
Hardware related modifications shall be captured in the HARDWARE_REVISION and
Hardware_Release. Hardware related modifications do not necessarily always require a
firmware update. Thus HARDWARE_REVISION and Hardware_Release cannot be used to
determine compatibility between a device and the FDI Device Package. But if a hardware
modification requires firmware modifications both HARDWARE_REVISION and
SOFTWARE_REVISION shall be changed. Hardware_Release and Software_Release shall be
changed accordingly.
The IEC 62769-4 specifies the Catalog schema and an element DeviceVersion which is used
in the element type declaration ListOfSupportedDeviceVersions. The value of the
DeviceVersion shall be compared to the device provided SOFTWARE_REVISION or the GSD
provided Software_Release in order to determine the compatibility between an FDI Device
Package and a device.
The data format for the SOFTWARE_REVISION is a string while the DeviceVersion expects
three numbers for major, minor, and revision. Therefore the following rules apply: If the string
has the format .. this is transferred to major, minor, and revision
(in the same order). references to a simple integer number in the string such as ‘1’
or ‘12’, not to other representations such as hexadecimal format. If . is
provided, this is transferred to major and minor and ‘0’ is used for revision. If only an
is provided, this is transferred to major and ‘0’ is used for minor and revision. A
leading character or a leading character and whitespace shall be ignored. For a string in any
other format the revision number shall not be considered to select the correct FDI Package.
