BS EN IEC 62832-1 defines the general principles of the Digital Factory framework (DF framework), which is a set of model elements (DF reference model) and rules for modelling production systems. BS EN IEC 62832-1 framework defines a model of production system assets, a model of relationships between different production system assets, and the flow of information about production system assets. Note 1: BS EN IEC 62832-1 does not cover representation of building construction, input resources, consumables, work pieces in process nor end products. Note 2: BS EN IEC 62832-1 applies to three types of production processes (continuous control, batch control and discrete control) in any industrial sector. Note 3: BS EN IEC 62832-1 does not cover requirements and specification of software tools supporting the DF framework.
