They do not require a micro-controller.
They do not participate in message data communication.
The Bus Controller manages both the input/output and the bus.

• Class 2 and higher devices have a processor and may exchange messages.
• Class 2 devices are configurable I/O devices (but not programmable)
• The Bus Controller communicates with the Application Processor through a
shared memory, the traffic store, which holds typically 256 ports.

MVB Class 4-5 Device
Class 4 devices present the functionality of a Programming and Test station
Class 4 devices are capable of becoming Bus Administrators.
To this effect, they hold additional hardware to read the device status of the
other devices and to supervise the configuration.
They also have a large number of ports, so they can supervise the process
data transmission of any other device.
Class 5 devices are gateways with several link layers (one or more MVB, WTB).
The device classes are distinguished by their hardware structure.

Operation of the traffic memory
In content-addressed ("source-addressed") communication, messages are broadcast,
the receiver select the data based on a look-up table of relevant messages.
For this, an associative memory is required.
Since address size is small (12 bits), the decoder is implemented by a memory block:

individual period
A basic period is divided into a periodic and a sporadic phase.
During the periodic phase, the master polls the periodic data in sequence.
Periodic data are polled at their individual period (a multiple of the basic period).
Between periodic phases, the Master continuously polls the devices for events.
Since more than one device can respond to an event poll, a resolution procedure
selects exactly one event.

MVB Event Resolution (1)
To scan events, the Master issues a General Event Poll (Start Poll) frame.
If no device responds, the Master keeps on sending Event Polls until a device
responds or until the guard time before the next periodic phase begins.
A device with a pending event returns an Event Identifier Response.
If only one device responds, the Master reads the Event Identifier (no collision).
The Master returns that frame as an Event Read frame to read the event data

MVB Time Distribution
At fixed intervals, the Master broadcasts the exact time as a periodic variable.
When receiving this variable, the bus controllers generate a pulse which can
resynchronize a slave clock or generate an interrupt request.

MVB Fault-tolerance Concept
Transmission Integrity
MVB rather stops than provides false data.
The probability for an undetected transmission error (residual error rate)
is low enough to transmit most safety-critical data.
This is achieved through an extensive error detection scheme
Transmission Availability
MVB continues operation is spite of any single device error. In
particular, configurations without single point of failure are possible.
This is achieved through a complete duplication of the physical layer.
Graceful Degradation
The failure of a device affects only that device, but not devices which
do not depend on its data (retro-action free).
Configurability
Complete replication of the physical layer is not mandatory.
When requirements are slackened, single-thread connections may
be used and mixed with dual-thread ones.

IEC 61375 Clause 3
MVB Master Redundancy
A centralized bus master is a single point of failure.
To increase availability, the task of the bus master may be assumed by one of
several Bus Administrators
The current master is selected by token passing:

If a bus administrator detects no activity, it enters an arbitration procedure. If
it wins, it takes over the master's role and creates a token.
To check the good function of all administrators, the current master offers
mastership to the next administrator in the list every 4 seconds.

MVB Safety Concept
Data Integrity
Very high data integrity, but nevertheless insufficient for safety applications
(signalling)
Increasing the Hamming Distance further is of no use since data falsification
becomes more likely in a device than on the bus.
Data Transfer
• critical data transmitted periodically to guarantee timely delivery.
• obsolete data are discarded by sink time supervision.
• error in the poll scan list do not affect safety.
Device Redundancy
Redundant plant inputs A and B transmitted by two independent devices.
Diverse A and B data received by two independent devices and compared.
The output is disabled if A and B do not agree within a specified time.
Availability
Availability is increased by letting the receiving devices receive both A and
B. The application is responsible to process the results and switchover to the
healthy device in case of discrepancy.
