BS EN 62714-3:2017

What is BS EN 62714-3 - AML geometry and kinematics about?  

IEC 62714 series defines the data exchange format (Automation Markup Language) which is an XML schema-based data format for plant engineering data. Automation Markup Language (AML) is developed to support the data exchange in a heterogeneous engineering tools landscape. 

The application of IEC 62714 is industry independent. IEC 62714 is applicable in all industries that require data exchange in their engineering toolchain, e.g., in discrete industry or process industry. 

BS EN 62714-3 specifies the integration of geometry and kinematics information for the exchange between engineering tools in the plant automation area by means of AML. 

BS EN 62714-3 specifies the modelling of geometry and kinematics information. BS EN 62714-3 describes the frame attribute which can be used to represent the geometric position of an InternalElement, InstanceHierarchy, SystemUnitClass, or SystemUnitClassLibrary with respect to another CAEX Object. 

Note: BS EN 62714-3 does not define details of the data exchange procedure or implementation requirements for the import/export tools. 

Who is BS EN 62714-3 - AML geometry and kinematics for? 

BS EN 62714-3  on AML geometry and kinematics is useful for: 

• Industries that require data exchange in their engineering toolchain 
• The automation industry 
• Telecommunication companies 
• Software companies/IT firms 

Why should you use BS EN 62714-3 - AML geometry and kinematics?  

The goal of AML is to interconnect engineering tools in their different disciplines, for example, mechanical plant engineering, electrical design, process engineering, process control engineering, HMI development, PLC programming, robot programming, etc. 

BS EN 62714-3 describes the referencing methods for geometric and kinematic models and provides an example for modelling of kinematic systems and their combination in AML. BS EN 62714-3 gives an informative XML representation of the libraries. 

BS EN 62714-3 describes the geometry related extensions of the role class libraries and also describes the normative provisions for the attachment of two geometric AML objects.  

BS EN 62714-3 gives a normative description regarding referencing COLLADA documents and defines how to store meta-information about the source tool directly into the COLLADA document.
