ISO 15926 - the open data schema for theplant industryUnder the leadership of FIATECH, AVEVA andits software peers have been implementingthe ISO 15926 international data standard asthe open P&ID data schema for the plantindustry.AVEVA's P&ID approach is, accordingly,governed by standards-basedinteroperability. In particular, it allowsconsolidation of all P&ID data on anengineering project - independent of theoriginal P&ID authoring application - into asingle product, AVEVA P&ID Manager. Asecond new product, AVEVA Schematic 3DIntegrator, integrates this into AVEVA PDMS,thereby permitting consistency checking andschematic/3D comparison.This approach is part of a wider AVEVAstrategy to manage and visualise engineeringdiagrams in a generic way for both plant andmarine projects, based on a commonschematics model. As well as P&IDs, thesealso include HVAC, cable and instrument andmarine diagrams. Significantly, all AVEVA'snew schematic and diagram products areimplemented in the same technology andglobal database environment as AVEVA PDMS.AVEVA NET also makes comprehensive use ofISO 15926 as its complete architecture isunderpinned by that methodology. Thismeans that AVEVA NET includes the same dataclass library capability as the aboveschematic design products, but also dataassociations that add a very high level offlexibility to data modelling, withconsequently swift project implementation.About FIATECHFIATECH is an industry consortium thatprovides global leadership in identifyingand accelerating the development,demonstration and deployment of fullyintegrated and automated technologies todeliver the highest business valuethroughout the lifecycle of all types ofcapital projects.
