AML (AutomationML)

Connections to other Concepts

Short Description

  • Comprehensive XML based object-oriented data modeling language
  • Neutral, XML-based data format for the storage and exchange of engineering data
  • AutomationML incorporates different standards through strongly typed links across the formats:
    • CAEX (IEC 62424) : Topology resp. structure, i.e. Properties and relations of objects in their hierarchical structure
    • COLLADA (ISO/PAS 17506:2012) : Geometry and kinematics, i.e. Graphical attributes & 3D information and Connections and dependencies among objects to support motion planning
    • PLCopen XML (IEC 61131-10) : Logic and discrete behavior of objects, i.e Sequences of actions, internal behavior of objects and I/O connections
  • For future extensions, AutomationML is designed to integrate further formats using the same referencing mechanism
