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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
ISO 16300 addresses requirements of users and suppliers of manufacturing software regarding the
interoperability of software in the area of industrial automation.
User interoperability requirements include:
— integrating an automation application system by combining capabilities of a set of software
components provided by various sources,
— substituting another software component in a software unit to provide an equivalent capability
required by the automation application system,
— integrating the capability of a software unit from one resource system platform to another platform,
— validating and verifying the capability of a software unit to meet the automation application system
requirements.
Supplier requirements include:
— representing the set of capabilities provided by a software component used in a software unit,
— verifying software component capability as a part of a required software unit capability,
— cataloguing a software unit in terms of its capability for interoperability in an automation application
system to support wide distribution.
ISO 16300 also addresses software interoperability services which include:
— accessing the description of a software capability to enable interoperability assessment,
— enabling the search and location of candidate software units and components, preferably
automatically, using search engines,
— representing the dependencies between software components for an automation application hosted
on a particular system platform.
Software capability is first defined in terms of the potential function. It is then expressed and
represented as facts about the software, how and what it can do. The ISO 16100 series was developed
with the aim of providing a standardized method to describe capabilities of manufacturing software
in terms of the MSU (manufacturing software unit) capability profile. In ISO 16100, the software
component is included in the MSU. ISO 16100 also provides a way to exchange an MSU’s capability as
information by means of a capability profile. Software capability profiling is the basis for providing the
above-mentioned software interoperability services. ISO 16100 is used and applied as the foundation
for ISO 16300.
To establish ISO 16300, a number of steps were necessary. The initial step shows what interoperability
services are enabled by using software capability profile. The following steps develop concrete methods
and mechanisms to provide these interoperability services. The resulting output from ISO 16300 are
several published parts.
ISO 16300-1 specifies a framework for describing an automation solution in terms of a set of capabilities
provided by a set of MSUs. The framework also defines a set of capability elements and composition rules
to represent the interoperability criteria in terms of the automation system capability requirements of
an enterprise application.
ISO 16300-2 specifies the template definition to describe the capability of software unit of an automation
solution that can be mapped to the functional requirements of target manufacturing application. It also
specifies mapping rules for composing the contents of a software unit catalogue item in terms of the
properties of the capability.
ISO 16300-3 specifies the framework for verifying interoperability of capability unit associated with
application requirements and system solution.
ISO 16300-4 specifies the search methodology for acquiring candidate capability units which satisfies
the manufacturing application requirements from the software unit catalogues and also describes the
structure of the report as an outcome of the search, indicating the extent to which the candidates from
the software unit catalogues correspond to the manufacturing application requirements.
