This part of ISA95, in conjunction with ANSI/ISA-95.00.01-2010 (IEC 62264-1 Mod), Enterprise- Control System Integration – Part 1: Models and Terminology, specifies generic interface content between manufacturing control functions and other enterprise functions. The interface considered is between Level 3 manufacturing systems and Level 4 business systems in the hierarchical model defined in Part 1. The goal is to reduce the risk, cost, and errors associated with implementing the interface.

Since this standard covers many domains, and there are many different standards in those domains, the semantics of this standard are described at a level intended to enable the other standards to be mapped to these semantics. To this end this standard defines a set of elements contained in the generic interface, together with a mechanism for extending those elements for implementations.

The scope of Part 2 is limited to the definition of object models and attributes of the exchanged information defined in Part 1.

This Part 2 standard does not define attributes to represent the object relationships.

This Part 2 standard, in conjunction with ANSI/ISA-95.00.01-2000, Enterprise-Control System Integration Part 1: Models and Terminology, defines the interface content between manufacturing control functions and other enterprise functions. The interfaces considered are the interfaces between levels 3 and 4 of the hierarchical model defined by Part 1 and Part 2. The goal is to reduce the risk, cost, and errors associated with implementing these interfaces.

The scope of Part 2 is limited to the definition of attributes for the Part 1 object models.

This Part 2 standard does not define attributes to represent the object relationships defined in Part 1.
