scope:

This ISA-95 Part 8 standard specifies a method to define information exchange profiles for specific groups of implementations of ISA-95 models. The information exchange profiles specify object models exchanged on interfaces between Level 4 and Level 3 or between Level 3 acti vities. The information exchange profile specifies verbs and nouns used for ISA-95 implementations.

The information exchange profiles define extensions to, and constraints of , the models defined by ISA-95 for an implementation.

Defining message exchanges within Level 2 and Level 4 are out of scope, although it may be necessary to include the details of these message exchanges to fully describe an implementation of ISA-95.
