About This Item
IEC 61158-3-17:2007 defines the data-link layer service definition for Type 17 elements within industrial communication networks and fieldbus specifications. It is relevant when engineering teams need a technical document that helps describe how network services are structured at a communication layer used in automation environments. For organizations involved in technical review, procurement, or conformity assessment, IEC 61158-3-17:2007 provides a focused reference for understanding service behavior and supporting consistent evaluation of fieldbus-based systems.
What is IEC 61158-3-17:2007?
IEC 61158-3-17:2007 is part of the IEC 61158 fieldbus series and addresses the data-link layer service definition for Type 17 elements. In practical terms, it supports engineering documentation by defining how communication services are described at a specific protocol layer, which can help teams align design, verification activities, and technical validation. As a primary technical reference, it is typically consulted during protocol analysis, system integration, and compliance workflows involving industrial communication networks.
Applications of IEC 61158-3-17:2007
This document is commonly used in automation projects where fieldbus communication behavior must be reviewed against a defined service model. It may support laboratory evaluation, system integration testing, and documentation for equipment that relies on industrial network communication. Procurement teams and technical assessors may also use it when comparing specifications, checking functional compatibility, or preparing a documented evaluation of a communication subsystem. It is most relevant where operational consistency and network-layer clarity are important to the project workflow.
Why is IEC 61158-3-17:2007 important?
IEC 61158-3-17:2007 matters because consistent service definitions at the data-link layer can reduce implementation ambiguity and support interoperability across fieldbus-based systems. For engineering teams, it helps structure technical review and verification activities around a common reference. For compliance and quality workflows, it can assist with conformity assessment preparation, testing consistency, and risk management when documenting communication behavior. It is especially useful when a project requires clear alignment between design intent, validation evidence, and procurement specifications.
