Industrial automation systems and integration - Physical device control - Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS)
ISO 22093:2011 defines a neutral language for communication between information systems and dimensional measurement equipment (DME), called the Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS). DMIS is an execution language for measurement part programs and provides an exchange format for metrology data such as features, tolerances, and measurement results. DMIS conveys the product and equipment definitions along with the process and reporting information necessary to perform dimensional measurements that employ coordinate metrology. DMIS contains product definitions for nominal features, feature constructions, dimensional and geometric tolerances, functional datums, and part coordinate systems. It also communicates equipment definitions for various measurement sensors, measurement resources, and machine parameters. DMIS instructs the DME's motions and measurements for product acceptance or verification and for manufacturing process validation and control. Furthermore, DMIS guides the analysis of coordinate data to report and tag measurement results that ascertain product/process quality. Finally, to aid in its implementation, application functional subsets of DMIS have been defined that ensure successful interoperability and to validate DMIS conformance. Also, DMIS addresses the associativity of DMIS product definitions with computer aided design (CAD) information.

Overview
ISO 22093:2011 - Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS) defines a neutral, machine-readable language for communication between information systems and Dimensional Measuring Equipment (DME). DMIS acts both as an execution language for measurement part programs and as an exchange format for metrology data (features, tolerances, measurement results). The standard specifies how product definitions, equipment definitions, measurement sequences, and reporting information are represented to support coordinate metrology and automated inspection.
Key technical topics and requirements
- Neutral language / execution language: DMIS provides a standardized syntax and structure for measurement programs that drive CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines), vision systems, and other DMEs.
- Product definitions: Includes nominal features, feature constructions, dimensional and geometric tolerances, functional datums, and part coordinate systems (PCS).
- Equipment definitions: Describes measurement sensors, measurement resources, carriages/axes, rotary tables, and machine parameters required to perform measurements.
- Measurement control and motion commands: Instructions for DME motions and measurement operations used for product acceptance, verification, and process validation.
- Data analysis and reporting: Methods to analyze coordinate data and tag measurement results to determine product and process quality.
- Conformance and interoperability: Defines conformance levels, application functional subsets, and conformance testing (including characterization/CHFile concepts) to ensure interoperable DMIS implementations.
- Language reference and statement set: Complete syntax, semantics, mathematical operators, and a comprehensive statement reference for programming measurement sequences.
- Associativity with CAD: Provisions for linking DMIS product definitions to CAD representations (e.g., IGES/STEP) to maintain associativity between design and inspection data.
Practical applications and who uses ISO 22093:2011
- Metrology labs and QA/inspection teams: Standardizes part-programs and reporting for consistent dimensional inspection and acceptance.
- CMM and DME manufacturers: Implement DMIS to enable standardized control and data exchange across platforms.
- Metrology software vendors and integrators: Use DMIS to import/export measurement programs, results, and link inspection to CAD.
- Manufacturers and process engineers: Employ DMIS for in-process verification (IPV), manufacturing process validation, and quality control automation.
- CAD/CAM/PLM integrators: Maintain associativity between design geometry and inspection definitions to support digital thread workflows.
Related standards
- STEP (ISO 10303) and IGES: CAD and product model exchange formats referenced for associativity with DMIS.
- Standards for industrial automation and metrology interoperability.
ISO 22093 (DMIS) is essential for anyone implementing standardized coordinate metrology workflows, enabling reliable measurement program exchange, automated inspection, and traceable quality reporting.
