Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 16100-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Automation systems and integration,
Subcommittee SC 5, Architecture, communications and integration frameworks.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 16100-1:2002), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 16100 consists of the following parts, under the general title Industrial automation systems and
integration — Manufacturing software capability profiling for interoperability:
⎯ Part 1: Framework
⎯ Part 2: Profiling methodology
⎯ Part 3: Interface services, protocols and capability templates
⎯ Part 4: Conformance test methods, criteria and reports
⎯ Part 5: Methodology for profile matching using multiple capability class structures
The following part is planned:
⎯ Part 6: Interface services and protocols for matching profiles based on multiple capability class structures

ISO 16100-1:2009(E)
Introduction
The motivation for ISO 16100 stems from the industrial and economic environment noted by ISO/TC 184/SC 5.
In particular, there is broad recognition by industry that application software and the expertise to apply that
software are assets of the enterprise. Industry feedback has noted the need for improvement and continued
development of current design and manufacturing standards to enable software interoperability.
ISO 16100 specifies a manufacturing information model that characterizes software-interfacing requirements.
With interfacing requirements clearly expressed, standard interfaces can be more easily and quickly
developed using the Interface Definition Language (IDL) or an appropriate programming language, such as
Java and C++. These standard interfaces are expected to enable the interoperability among manufacturing
software tools (modules or systems).
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used in this International Standard for modelling these interfaces.
Also, the manufacturing information model can be used to develop commonly sharable database schema
using languages such as the Extensible Markup Language (XML).
Sectors of the manufacturing industry ⎯ such as automotive, aerospace, machine tool manufacturing,
computer peripheral manufacturing, and mould and die manufacturing ⎯ that intensively use computer-aided
design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), numerical control (NC) programming, computer-aided
engineering (CAE), product data management (PDM) and manufacturing execution systems (MES) will
directly benefit from ISO 16100. The software interface requirements in ISO 16100 will facilitate the
development of:
a) interoperable design and manufacturing software tools leading to shortened product development time;
b) new software tools that can be easily integrated with current technologies leading to more choices in the
market;
c) new application software leading to reduced capital expenditures to replace legacy systems;
d) programming interfaces and database schema leading to cost savings by not having to develop
proprietary interfaces for point-to-point software integration.
The end result will be a reduction in product and manufacturing information management cost and lower
product costs.
ISO 16100 enables manufacturing software integration by providing the following:
⎯ standard interface specifications that allow information exchange among software units in industrial
automation systems developed by different vendors;
⎯ software capability profiling, using a standardized method to enable users to select software units that
meet their functional requirements;
⎯ conformance tests that ensure the integrity of the software integration.
At the time of publication of this edition of this part of ISO 16100, there are five published parts to ISO 16100
and one planned part. This part of ISO 16100 specifies a framework for interoperability of a set of
manufacturing software products used in the manufacturing domain and its integration into a manufacturing
application. ISO 16100-2 specifies a methodology for constructing profiles of manufacturing software
capabilities, and includes a methodology for creating manufacturing software capability profiles as well as for
using these profiles at the developing stage of manufacturing applications. ISO 16100-3 specifies the interface
protocol and templates for various manufacturing application areas. ISO 16100-4 specifies the concepts and
rules for the conformity assessment of the other parts of ISO 16100. ISO 16100-5 specifies a methodology for
profile matching using multiple capability class structures. ISO 16100-6 will specify the interface services and
protocols for matching profiles based on multiple capability class structures.

manages engineering information, supports management of product configurations, and supports management of the
product engineering process. The engineering information includes both database objects and “document” objects – sets
of information stored in files that are opaque to the PDM system. This information may be associated with specific
products or specific product designs, or more generally with product families, production processes or the engineering
process itself. The engineering process support usually includes workflow management and concepts of engineering
change and notification. In many manufacturing organizations, the PDM is the central engineering information repository
for product development activities.

5 Manufacturing application
5.1 Reference application framework
The interoperability framework for manufacturing software is based upon a more general interoperability
framework for manufacturing applications. Such an application interoperability framework, which is explained
in further detail in ISO 15745-1, provides a basis for integrating an automation and control system architecture
within a manufacturing application architecture.
An integrated manufacturing application shall be modelled as a combination of a set of manufacturing
resources and a set of information units whose data structure, semantics and behaviour can be shared and
exchanged among the manufacturing resources, as shown in Figure 1. Manufacturing resources are
communication networks, devices, software, equipment, material and personnel necessary to support the
processes and information exchanges required by the application.
In this application integration model, the various elements of the model have shared interfaces and exchange
material, energy and information in a cooperative and coordinated manner. The manufacturing processes can
cooperate with each other if the functions performed by the various elements of the model can interoperate
with each other. When software units perform some of these functions, it is necessary for the software units to
be interoperable with the other elements, as well as with each other.

NOTE Boxes represent classes of objects (things). Lines connecting boxes represent associations between objects
(things). An association has two roles (one in each direction). A role may optionally be named by a label. A role from A to
B is closest to B, and vice versa. Roles are one-to-one unless otherwise noted. A role can have a multiplicity, e.g. a role
marked with “1.*” is used to denote many as in a one-to-many or many-to-many association. A diamond at the end of an
association line denotes a part-of relationship. A shaded diamond at the end of an association line denotes a composition
aggregation relationship. The absence of at least one type of aggregated element deletes the object instance of the
composition aggregation class. An unshaded diamond denotes a collection aggregation relationship. An object instance of
a collection aggregation class can be formed even if some of the types of aggregated elements are not present. For
example, Manufacturing Application owns (is comprised of) Manufacturing Process, Manufacturing Information and
Manufacturing Resources. This notation is taken from ISO/IEC 19501.
Figure 1 — Class diagram of a partial model of a manufacturing application
5.2 Manufacturing domain
The manufacturing domain that includes discrete, batch and continuous control encompasses many types of
industries. The automotive industry is an example of an industry employing discrete control; the
pharmaceutical industry is an example of an industry employing batch control; the petrochemical industry is an
example of an industry employing continuous control. For manufacturing software, the interface between plant
management systems and floor control systems is described by the same method regardless of whether
control systems are discrete, batch or continuous. Similarly, the control flow inside a control system is also
described by the same method regardless of whether the system is discrete, batch or continuous.
Even as the manufacturing domain applies to many industries, the relationship between firms in these
industries is changing rapidly due to recent developments in IT infrastructure, as is the case in supply chain
management systems. Therefore, ISO 16100 sets a target manufacturing domain to include the
manufacturing operation and control activity, the discrete control activity, the batch control activity, the
continuous control activity and the manufacturing process design activity, as shown in Figure 2.

5.3 Manufacturing processes
A manufacturing process shall be modelled as a set of activities that follow a specific sequence. Each activity
shall be associated with a set of functions performed according to a time schedule or triggered by a set of
events.
The functions associated with a manufacturing process shall be viewed as being implemented through a set of
manufacturing resources. The manufacturing resources shall be considered to be selected and configured to
support the material, information and energy flows required by the specified sequence of manufacturing
activities associated with a process.
When a manufacturing process must cooperate and coordinate with another process, the respective functions
of these interacting processes are considered to be able to cooperate and coordinate with each other. Such a
situation requires that the cooperating and coordinating functions meet a common set of criteria and a set of
conditions for interoperability. The software units that implement these functions shall meet a related set of
criteria and conditions for interoperability.
5.4 Manufacturing resources
The manufacturing resources required by a manufacturing application shall be organized in terms of the type
of flow being managed and supported among the manufacturing processes ― material, control, information or
energy flow. The set of integrated flows can be used to represent an integrated manufacturing application or
manufacturing system architecture.
The set of integrated manufacturing resources shall form a manufacturing system architecture that fulfils a set
of manufacturing application requirements. These manufacturing resources, including the manufacturing
software units, shall provide the functions associated with the manufacturing processes.

ISO 16100-1:2009(E)
The combined capabilities of the various software units, in an appropriate operating environment, provide the
required functionality to control and monitor the manufacturing processes according to the production plan and
the allocated resources.
An operating environment shall be distinguished by the manufacturing resources needed by the associated
set of software units. These manufacturing resources include the processing, storage, user interface,
communications and peripheral devices, as well as other system software required for executing the software
units.
5.5 Manufacturing information
A set of information structures shall provide the knowledge infrastructure to manage the various types of flows
within a manufacturing application. These information sets shall include data pertaining to the product, the
process and the equipment.
The manufacturing software units shall be the primary means for handling, transforming and maintaining these
information structures.
