IEC 61158-6-3:2014 defines the protocol provided to define the wire-representation of the service primitives defined in IEC 61158-5-3, and define the externally visible behavior associated with their transfer. This standard specifies the protocol of the Type 3 fieldbus application layer, in conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) and the OSI application layer structure (ISO/IEC 9545).

- corrections, in Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, and Table 7;
- added references for data types;
- corrected state machine in Table 91 and Table 97;
- updated macro START_MSAL1M.
