BS EN 61987-23:2016

What is BS EN 61987-23 - OLOP and DLOP for valve actuators about?  

The exchange of product data between companies, business systems, engineering tools, data systems within companies and, control systems (electrical, measuring and control technology) can run smoothly only when both the information to be exchanged and the use of this information has been clearly defined. 

BS EN 61987 series proposes a method for standardization which will help both suppliers and users of measuring equipment to optimize workflows both within their own companies and in their exchanges with other companies. Depending on their role in the process, engineering firms may be considered here to be either users or suppliers. 

BS EN 61987-23 provides Operating Lists of Properties (OLOPs) for the description of the operating parameters and the collection of requirements for valve actuators. BS EN 61987-23 also provides Device Lists of Properties (DLOPs) for valve actuators. The OLOP and the DLOPs provided correspond to the guidelines specified in IEC 61987-10, IEC 61987-11 and IEC 61987-21. 

Who is BS EN 61987-23 - OLOP and DLOP for valve actuators for? 

BS EN 61987-23  on OLOP and DLOP for valve actuators is useful for: 

• Software companies / IT firms 
• Software professionals/engineers 
• Telecommunication companies 
• Industrial manufacturers of valve actuators 
• Industries that use electronic data interchange integration 

Why should you use BS EN 61987-23 - OLOP and DLOP for valve actuators? 

Electronic data interchange is a standard format to exchange business information between two organizations electronically instead of using paper documents. The LOPs provided by BS EN 61987-23 are used in electronic data exchange processes performed between any two computer systems. 

BS EN 61987-23 concerns valve actuators. BS EN 61987-23 provides an operating LOP for all types of valve actuators which can be used, for example, as a request for quotation for various purposes.  

The DLOPs for the range of valve actuator types provided in BS EN 61987-23 can be used in very different ways in the computer systems of equipment manufacturers and suppliers, in Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) and similar systems of Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractors and other engineering companies and especially in the various plant maintenance systems of plant owners.  

BS EN 61987 series covers OLOP and DLOP properties that may be used in an inquiry, or a proposal and detailed properties required for integration of the equipment in computer systems for other tasks. BS EN 61987-23 helps to enhance your digital transformation journey via a seamless, user-friendly and customer-centric digital experience.
