DIN SPEC 16592:2016-12

This DIN SPEC in accordance with the PAS procedure was developed within a workshop set up on a temporary basis. The DIN SPEC was developed and approved by the authors named in the foreword. This specification specifies the combination of AML engineering data with OPC Unified Architecture online information such as process data and diagnostic information. The AML data format, developed by AutomationML e.V. has been standardized in the IEC 62714 series of standards. This format is an XML-based data exchange format which enables the transfer of engineering data for manufacturing systems within a heterogeneous engineering tool landscape. The OPC Unified Architecture developed by the OPC Foundation is standardised in IEC 62541. It defines platform independent communication mechanisms for online data exchange and generic, extensible, and object-oriented modelling capabilities for the information a system wants to expose.
