Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

ISO 18435 consists of the following parts, under the general title Industrial automation systems and

— Part 3: Applications integration description method

Introduction
ISO 18435 defines a set of integration methods intended to be used when integrating diagnostics,
capability assessment, and maintenance applications with the applications in production, control, and
other manufacturing operations.
ISO 18435-1 provides an overview of the elements as shown in Figure 1 and the rules of a method to
describe an automation application’s integration requirements. The elements include the key aspects
when integrating an automation application with other applications and the relationships of these key
aspects. The rules include the information exchanges to support interoperability within an application
and between applications.
ISO 18435-2 provides the detailed definitions of the Application Interaction Matrix Element (AIME) and
Application Domain Matrix Element (ADME) structures and their relationships. In particular, the steps
for constructing an ADME from a set of AIMEs are described.
This part of ISO 18435 defines a recommended method based on templates to describe the
interoperability between applications in two or more automation domains within an enterprise, at all
levels of an enterprise’s functional and resource hierarchies. The focus is on the production operations
and maintenance operations domains.
Figure 1 — Relationships between the parts of ISO 18435
UML is used to represent information exchange requirements associated with the interoperability and
the integration of plant floor applications, in particular, diagnostics, control, maintenance and production.
The purpose is to focus on how to express the information exchanges:
— about the process, equipment, operators, and materials and other automation assets;
— that are conveyed from control and production systems to various diagnostics and maintenance
systems in order to perform asset management.
The intended benefits for representing information exchanges are to:
— facilitate specifying and procuring open systems that support interoperability among diagnostics
and maintenance applications;
— reduce the time to develop diagnostics and maintenance solutions that directly address the well-
defined integration requirements;
— provide a means to categorize tools intended to enable and verify interoperability and integration
across applications.

Part 3:
Applications integration description method
1 Scope
This part of ISO 18435 defines the profiling methodology to use the interoperability templates of
ISO 18435-2. These profiling methods describe the construction and the use of application domain
matrix elements (ADMEs), application interaction matrix elements (AIMEs), and an open technical
dictionary (OTD) to support the information exchange.
In particular, this part of ISO 18435 gives guidance related to profiling the information exchange
between two applications by establishing the context, conveyance, and contents defined in ISO 18435-2.
This part of ISO 18435 is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 18435-1 and ISO 18435-2.
