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.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of the associated protocol type is restricted by its
intellectual-property-right holders. In all cases, the commitment to limited release of
intellectual-property-rights made by the holders of those rights permits a layer protocol type to
be used with other layer protocols of the same type, or in other type combinations explicitly
authorized by its intellectual-property-right holders.
NOTE Combinations of protocol types are specified in IEC 61784-1 and IEC 61784-2.
International Standard IEC 61158-4-21 has been prepared by subcommittee 65C: Industrial
networks, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial process measurement, control and
automation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2010. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.

INTRODUCTION
This document is one of a series produced to facilitate the interconnection of automation
system components. It is related to other standards in the set as defined by the “three-layer”
fieldbus reference model described in IEC 61158-1.
The data-link protocol provides the data-link service by making use of the services available
from the physical layer. The primary aim of this document is to provide a set of rules for
communication expressed in terms of the procedures to be carried out by peer data-link
entities (DLEs) at the time of communication. These rules for communication are intended to
provide a sound basis for development in order to serve a variety of purposes:
a) as a guide for implementors and designers;
b) for use in the testing and procurement of equipment;
c) as part of an agreement for the admittance of systems into the open systems environment;
d) as a refinement to the understanding of time-critical communications within OSI.
This document is concerned, in particular, with the communication and interworking of
sensors, effectors and other automation devices. By using this document together with other
standards positioned within the OSI or fieldbus reference models, otherwise incompatible
systems may work together in any combination.
NOTE Use of some of the associated protocol types is restricted by their intellectual-property-right holders. In all
cases, the commitment to limited release of intellectual-property-rights made by the holders of those rights permits
a particular data-link layer protocol type to be used with physical layer and application layer protocols in type
combinations as specified explicitly in the profile parts. Use of the various protocol types in other combinations
may require permission of their respective intellectual-property-right holders.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is
claimed that compliance with this document may involve the use of patents concerning
Type 21 elements and possibly other types given in Subclause 4.1, 4.2 and 7.3 as follows:
KR 0789444 [LS] A communication packet processing apparatus and method for
ring topology Ethernet network capable of preventing permanent
packet looping
KR 0732510 [LS] Network system
KR 0870670 [LS] Method for determining a Ring Manager Node
IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of these patent rights.
The holder of these patent rights has assured the IEC that he/she is willing to negotiate
licences either free of charge or under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and
conditions with applicants throughout the world. In this respect, the statement of the holder of
these patent rights is registered with IEC. Information may be obtained from:
[LS]: LS Industrial Systems Co., Ltd.
LS Tower 1026-6
Hogye-dong, Dongan-gu,
Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do 431-848
Republic of Korea
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
subject of patent rights other than those identified above. IEC shall not be held responsible for
identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO (www.iso.org/patents) and IEC (http://www.iec.ch/tctools/patent_decl.htm) maintain on-
line data bases of patents relevant to their standards. Users are encouraged to consult the
data bases for the most up to date information concerning patents.

INDUSTRIAL COMMUNICATION NETWORKS –
FIELDBUS SPECIFICATIONS –
Part 4-21: Data-link layer protocol specification –
Type 21 elements
1 Scope
1.1 General
The DLL provides basic time-critical data communications between devices in an automated
environment. Type 21 provides priority-based cyclic and acyclic data communication using an
internal collision-free, full-duplex dual-port Ethernet switch technology. For wide application in
various automation applications, Type 21 does not restrict the cyclic/acyclic scheduling policy
in the DLL.
1.2 Specifications
This document describes:
a) 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 data
link service provider;
b) procedures for giving communication opportunities based on ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 MAC,
with provisions for nodes to be added or removed during normal operation;
c) structure of the fieldbus data link protocol data units (DLPDUs) used for the transfer of
data and control information by the protocol of this document, and their representation as
physical interface data units.
1.3 Procedures
The procedures are defined in terms of:
a) the interactions between peer data link entities (DLEs) through the exchange of fieldbus
DLPDUs;
b) the interactions between a data link service (DLS) provider and a DLS-user in the same
system through the exchange of DLS primitives;
c) the interactions between a DLS-provider and a physical layer service provider in the same
system through the exchange of Ph-service primitives.
1.4 Applicability
These procedures are applicable to instances of communication between systems that
support time-critical communications services in the data link layer of the OSI or fieldbus
reference models, and that require the ability to interconnect in an open systems
interconnection environment. Profiles provide a simple multi-attribute means of summarizing
an implementation’s capabilities, and thus its applicability to various time-deterministic
communications needs.
1.5 Conformance
This document also specifies conformance requirements for systems implementing these
procedures. This document does not contain tests to demonstrate compliance with such
requirements.
