BS ISO 15746-1:2015

This standard BS ISO 15746-1:2015 Automation systems and integration. Integration of advanced process control and optimization capabilities for manufacturing systems is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.040.40 Industrial process measurement and control

This part of ISO 15746 establishes a framework and general functionality of a method for integration of advanced process control and optimization (APC-O) capabilities for manufacturing systems. The goal is to reduce the cost and risk associated with developing and implementing integrated APC-O capabilities.

The scope of this part of ISO 15746 is limited to specifying the set of concepts, terms, definitions and the associated rules for describing the required functional capabilities of APC-O units.

The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO 15746:

• definition and specification of an interface or communication protocol between APC-O capabilities;

• requirement and restriction of a specific technical specification when developing and implementing APC-O systems;

• strategy and method of a certain APC-O system.
