Communication layer description
The following table provides a summarized description of the communication layers that
make up the
F
OUNDATION
Fieldbus
. The Fieldbus Foundation maintains a complete
library of detailed reference specifications including a Technical Overview and Wiring
and Installation Guides.

Layer Functional
Description Associated
Terms
Physical
Defines the transmission medium for fieldbus
signals and the message conversion tasks
to/from the Communication Stack.
Based on the Manchester Biphase-L Encoding
technique, so a
F
OUNDATION
Fieldbus (FF)
device interprets a positive transition in the
middle of a bit time as logical "0" and a
negative transition as logical "1".
Complies with existing International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 1158-2) and
the Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation
Society (ISA S50.02) physical layer standards.
And, it can be used with existing 4 to 20mA
wiring.

HSE, High Speed
Ethernet
Data Link (DLL)
Defines how messages are transmitted on a
multi-drop network. It uses a deterministic
centralized bus scheduler called a Link Active
Scheduler (LAS) to manage access to the
fieldbus. It controls scheduled and unscheduled
communications on the fieldbus in a
publish/subscribe environment.
Identifies device types as Basic Device, Link
Master, or Bridge. A Link Master device type
can become a Link Active Scheduler (LAS) for
the network.
