MESAInternational / B2MML-BatchML

B2MML is an XML implementation of the ANSI/ISA-95, Enterprise-Control System Integration, family of standards (ISA-95), known internationally as IEC/ISO 62264. B2MML consists of a set of XML schemas written using the World Wide Web Consortium's XML Schema language (XSD) that implement the data models in the ISA-95 standard.

Add Generic "B2mmlInformation" Element #57

Closed bebedizo closed 4 years ago

bebedizo commented 5 years ago

Maybe this feature exists, and I haven't found it (please, point me to the right source if it exists):

Issue

It would be nice to be able to model multiple kinds of *Information in a single B2MML file. Currently, the Schemas are designed for modeling, e.g., EquipmentInformation in a separate file, and MaterialInformation in another file.

Solution

Why not create (e.g., in B2MML-Common.xsd) a "parent" element named B2mmlInformation that contains 0..1 entries of kind PersonnelInformation, then 0..1 entries of kind EquipmentInformation, etc.

Is there a specific argument against such a "super file"?

We are currently implementing a new schema based on the ISA 95 TR.01 - Profile Template, which provides a single file that contains all of the information that could be used setup (configure) a system. Dave and I hope to have this posted this month. It basically includes all of the equipment, material, personnel, information in a single file, and also includes such things as units of measure, data types, enumerations, etc ...

Hi Bebedizo, The current files on MESA are the baseline files. You can design your own .xsd as a wrapper to include any or all of the baseline schema. This is viewed in ISA95, for each particular customer implementation, as an OperationsDefinedEvent that creates templates that the integrated systems need to use to communicate back and forth. You can design those templates to combine the files as you are suggesting.

It's been done before on customer specific implementation projects, but is not part of the MESA files until the team complete a similar task (I assume as a generic example) as Dennis has mentioned.

^^ take a look at OperationsRecordInformation and OperationsEventDefinitionRecordSpecification in ISA95 Part 2

Please check out the B2MML-MasterDataProfile.xsd file and the associated ISA TR95.01 Master Data Profile Template. This can be used for the master data. it does not cover material lots or sublots or persons. But it does cover Equipment and Equipment class.
