What is ISO 16300‑2 - Automation systems and integration- Capability templates and software unit cataloguing about?
ISO 16300‑2 is the second part of the multi-series standard that specifies a set of template definitions to describe the capability of a software unit of an automation solution that can be mapped to the functional requirements of a target manufacturing application.
ISO 16300‑2 specifies how to develop and manage a software unit catalogue in terms of capability properties and defines mapping rules from capability profiles to a software unit catalogue.
Who is ISO 16300‑2 - Automation systems and integration- Capability templates and software unit cataloguing for?
ISO 16300‑2 on Capability templates and software unit cataloguing for interoperability of capability units for manufacturing application solutions is applicable to:
- Manufacturing software suppliers
- Users of manufacturing software
- Automated manufacturing plants
Why should you use ISO 15871- Automation systems and integration- Capability templates and software unit cataloguing?
Interoperability of software across the manufacturing is required for the smooth functioning of different components in a manufacturing plant. ISO 16300‑2 series addresses requirements of users and suppliers of manufacturing software regarding the interoperability of software in the area of industrial automation.
ISO 16300‑2 specifies the template definition to describe the capability of a
software unit of an automation solution that can be mapped to the functional requirements of a target manufacturing application. It makes the process of automation of manufacturing plant smoother.
ISO 16300‑2 specifies mapping rules for composing the contents of a software unit catalogue item in terms of the properties of the capability this makes the user aware of the capabilities of the software.
