This standard is Part 1 of a series of standards that will define the interfaces between enterprise activities and control activities. Part 1 provides standard terminology and a consistent set of concepts and models for integrating control systems with enterprise systems that will improve communications between all parties involved. The models and terminology emphasize good integration practices of control systems with enterprise systems during the entire life cycle of the systems.

Part 2 of the series, ANSI/ISA-95.00.02-2001, Enterprise-Control System Integration Part 2: Object Model Attributes, contains additional details and examples to illustrate the Part 1 objects.

Scope:
This Part 1 standard 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 this standard. The goal is to reduce the risk, cost, and errors associated with implementing these interfaces.

The standard may be used to reduce the effort associated with implementing new product offerings. The goal is to have enterprise systems and control systems that inter-operate and easily integrate.

The scope of Part 1 is limited to:

• a definition of the scope of the manufacturing operations and control domain;
• a definition of the organization of physical assets of an enterprise involved in manufacturing;
• a definition of the functions associated with the interface between control functions and enterprise functions; and
• a definition of the information that is shared between control functions and enterprise functions.

Purpose:
This Part 1 standard provides standard models and terminology for defining the interfaces between an enterprise’s business systems and its manufacturing control systems. The models and terminology defined in this standard:

• emphasize good integration practices of control systems with enterprise systems during the entire life cycle of the systems;
• can be used to improve existing integration capabilities of manufacturing control systems with enterprise systems; and
• can be applied regardless of the degree of automation.

Specifically, this standard provides a standard terminology and a consistent set of concepts and models for integrating control systems with enterprise systems that will improve communications between all parties involved. Some of the benefits produced will:

• reduce users' times to reach full production levels for new products;
• enable vendors to supply appropriate tools for implementing integration of control systems to enterprise systems;
• enable users to better identify their needs;
• reduce the costs of automating manufacturing processes;
• optimize supply chains; and
• reduce life-cycle engineering efforts.

It is not the intent of this standard to:

• suggest that there is only one way of implementing integration of control systems to enterprise systems;
• force users to abandon their current methods of handling integration; or
• restrict development in the area of integration of control systems to enterprise systems.

This Part 1 standard defines the interface content between manufacturing control functions and other enterprise functions, based upon the Purdue Reference Model for CIM (hierarchical form) as published by ISA.
