ISO 15926 vs. IEC 62424 — Comparison of plant structure modeling concepts

摘要

In the domain of process automation there exist two upcoming standards for the modeling of plant data, namely ISO 15926 and IEC 62424 (CAEX). Both standards' objective is to describe the plant over the whole lifecycle. Within this contribution both standards will be compared. By using an example application of the automation domain, i.e. a belt conveyor, the application of both standards will be shown exemplarily. Applying a list of criteria, both standards will be compared in order to identify strengths and weaknesses.
