What is BS EN IEC 62832-1 about?
BS EN IEC 62832-1 is the first part of the IEC 62832 standard that deals with principles for digital factory framework in industrial process measurement, control and automation that enables standardization of data across all systems for effective information exchange.
BS EN IEC 62832-1 defines the general principles of the Digital Factory framework (DF framework), which is a set of model elements (DF reference model) and rules for modelling production systems.
BS EN IEC 62832-1 framework defines a model of production system assets, a model of relationships between different production system assets, and the flow of information about production system assets.
Note 1: BS EN IEC 62832-1 does not cover representation of building construction, input resources, consumables, work pieces in process nor end products.
Note 2: BS EN IEC 62832-1 applies to three types of production processes (continuous control, batch control and discrete control) in any industrial sector.
Note 3: BS EN IEC 62832-1 does not cover requirements and specification of software tools supporting the DF framework.
Who is BS EN IEC 62832-1 for?
BS EN IEC 62832-1 on digital factory framework applies to:
- Digital factory planners
- Industry Consultants
- Industries looking to shift to digital processes
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62832-1?
The Digital Factory framework standard establishes common standards for utilizing data based on computer-readable data properties and classifications. These annotated values make data transmission between equipment from different manufacturers or companies easier inside the same production system.
BS EN IEC 62832-1 provides you a framework for establishing and maintaining the digital representations of production systems including the elements, relationships between these elements and exchange of information about these elements that help to create efficient automated processes.
BS EN IEC 62832-1 provides you with all the information related to a production system that is described in a standardized manner and can be used and modified through its entire life cycle.
Implementation of BS EN IEC 62832-1 for a digital factory framework allows users to reduce the interoperability barriers for the exchange of information for various activities related to production systems.
What’s changed since the last update?
