Understand how plant data moves between systems with this detailed guide to spatial configuration for process plants.
The book explains how an application protocol defines the scope, information needs, and conformance requirements for exchanging spatial configuration data. It covers the purpose, life-cycle scope, and the types of data used, helping readers see how standards guide interoperability.
Built as part of a broader ISO standard project, this edition presents the structure, references, and key model concepts that support reliable data exchange. It includes normative and informative material, plus guidance on conformance testing for implementations of the protocol.
- Clarifies the scope and lifecycle stages that matter for plant data exchange
- Outlines information requirements and how conformance is tested
- Describes application objects, models, and references used in practice
- Points to annexes and supporting material that aid implementation
Ideal for readers working with plant design data, systems integration, or standards-based information exchange in industrial settings.
