Engineering data exchange format for use in industrial automation systems engineering - Automation markup language - Part 2: Semantics libraries
The IEC 62714 series specifies an engineering data exchange format for use in industrial automation systems. This part of IEC 62714 specifies normative as well as informative AML libraries for the modelling of engineering information for the exchange between engineering tools in the plant automation area by means of AML. Moreover, it presents additional user defined libraries as an example. Its provisions apply to the export/import applications of related tools. This part of IEC 62714 specifies AML role class libraries and AML attribute type libraries. Role classes provide semantics to AML objects, attribute types provide semantics to AML attributes. The association of role classes to AML objects or attribute types to AML attributes represent the possibility to add (also external) semantic to it. By associating a role class to an AML object or an attribute type to an AML attribute,it gets a semantic.This part of IEC 62714 does not define details of the data exchange procedure or implementation requirements for the import/export tools.

L'IEC 62714-2:2022 spécifie un format d'échange de données techniques destiné à être utilisé dans les systèmes d'automatisation industrielle. La présente partie de l’IEC 62714 spécifie les bibliothèques AML normatives et informatives pour la modélisation des informations techniques en vue de l'échange de données entre les outils techniques dans le domaine de l'automatisation d'installations par le biais du langage AML. Elle présente en outre des bibliothèques définies par l'utilisateur supplémentaires à titre d'exemple. Ses dispositions s'appliquent aux fonctions exportation/importation des outils associés.
Oblika izmenjave tehničnih podatkov za uporabo v industrijskem inženiringu avtomatizacije sistemov - Označevalni jezik za avtomatizacijo - 2. del: Semantične knjižnice (IEC 62714-2:2022)
Skupina standardov IEC 62714 določa obliko izmenjave tehničnih podatkov za uporabo v industrijskem inženiringu avtomatizacije sistemov.
Ta del standarda IEC 62714 določa normativne in informativne knjižnice AML za oblikovanje inženirskih podatkov za izmenjavo med inženirskimi orodji na območju avtomatiziranega obrata s pomočjo označevalnega jezika za avtomatizacijo (AML). Ob tem kot primer predstavlja dodatne uporabniško določene knjižnice. Določbe standarda se uporabljajo za izvozne/uvozne aplikacije povezanih orodij.
Ta del standarda IEC 62714 določa knjižnice razreda vloge AML in knjižnice vrste atributa AML. Razredi vlog zagotavljajo semantiko objektom AML, vrste atributov pa zagotavljajo semantiko atributom AML. Povezava razredov vlog z objekti AML oziroma vrst atributov z atributi AML predstavlja možnost za dodajanje (tudi zunanje) semantike. S povezavo razreda vloge z objektom AML ali vrste atributa z atributom AML, se dodeli semantika. Ta del standarda IEC 62714 ne opredeljuje podrobnosti postopka izmenjave podatkov ali izvedbenih zahtev za uvozna/izvozna orodja.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
The data exchange format defined in IEC 62714 (Automation Markup Language, AML) is an
XML schema based data format and has been developed in order to support the data exchange
between engineering tools in a heterogeneous engineering tool landscape. IEC 62714-1 gives
an overview about the format.
The goal of AML is to interconnect engineering tools from the existing heterogeneous tool
landscape in their different disciplines, e.g. mechanical plant engineering, electrical design,
process engineering, process control engineering, HMI development, PLC programming, robot
programming, etc.
AML stores engineering information following the object oriented paradigm and allows modelling
of physical and logical plant components as data objects encapsulating different aspects. An
object may consist of other sub-objects and may itself be part of a larger composition or
aggregation. Typical objects in plant automation comprise information on topology, geometry,
kinematics and logic, whereas logic comprises sequencing, behaviour and control.
AML combines existing industry data formats that are designed for the storage and exchange
of different aspects of engineering information. These data formats are used on an "as-is" basis
within their own specifications and are not branched for AML needs.
The core of AML is the top-level data format CAEX that connects the different data formats.
Therefore, AML has an inherent distributed document architecture.
Figure 1 illustrates the basic AML architecture and the distribution of topology, geometry,
kinematic and logic information.

Due to the different aspects of AML, IEC 62714 (all parts) consists of different parts focusing
on different aspects.

Part 2: Semantics libraries
1 Scope
IEC 62714 (all parts) specifies an engineering data exchange format for use in industrial
automation systems.
This part of IEC 62714 specifies normative as well as informative AML libraries for the modelling
of engineering information for the exchange between engineering tools in the plant automation
area by means of AML. Moreover, it presents additional user-defined libraries as an example.
Its provisions apply to the export/import applications of related tools.
This part of IEC 62714 specifies AML role class libraries and the usage of AML attributes to
represent semantics. Role classes provide semantics to AML objects, attribute types provide
semantics to AML attributes. The association of role classes to AML objects or attribute types
to AML attributes represent the possibility to add (also external) semantic information to it. By
associating a role class to an AML object or an attribute type to an AML attribute, it gets
semantic information. This part of IEC 62714 does not define details of the data
