What is BS EN IEC 61987-92 - Electronic data exchange measuring equipment about?
The exchange of product data between companies, business systems, engineering tools, data systems within companies and, control systems (electrical, measuring and control technology) can run smoothly only when both the information to be exchanged and the use of this information has been clearly defined.
IEC 61987 series proposes a method for standardization which will help both suppliers and users of measuring equipment to optimize workflows both within their own companies and in their exchanges with other companies. Depending on their role in the process, engineering firms may be considered here to be either users or suppliers.
BS EN IEC 61987-92 provides a list of properties (LOPs) describing aspects of equipment for industrial-process automation that is the subject of the IEC 61987 series.
The aspect LOPs shall contain all information required to handle a transaction between the parties involved for example in the quotation for and the purchasing of a device. It includes the sub-blocks such as document information, project information, device information.
Who is BS EN IEC 61987-92 - Electronic data exchange measuring equipment for?
BS EN IEC 61987-92 on electronic data exchange measuring equipment is useful for:
- Software companies / IT firms
- Software professionals/engineers
- Telecommunication companies
- Industrial manufacturers of measuring equipment
- Industries that use electronic data interchange integration
Why should you use BS EN IEC 61987-92 - Electronic data exchange measuring equipment?
Electronic data interchange is a standard format to exchange business information between two organizations electronically instead of using paper documents. The LOPs provided by BS EN IEC 61987-92 are used in electronic data exchange processes performed between any two computer systems.
IEC 61987 series covers OLOP and DLOP properties that may be used in an inquiry, or a proposal and detailed properties required for integration of the equipment in computer systems for other tasks.
BS EN IEC 61987-92 contains additional aspects that are common to all devices, for example, “Packaging and transportation”, “Calibration and test results” and “Device documents supplied”. The associated LOPs can accompany any DLOP as described in IEC 61987-11.
BS EN IEC 61987-92 guidelines helps you to access aspect LOPs of measuring equipment for electronic data exchange.
