S95 STANDARD


The ISA 95 Standard for Enterprise-Control System Integration defines interfaces between applications at the Industrial Control Level and applications at the MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) Level. As such, it bridges the gap between control-level communications which are typically implemented using OPC, and business-level applications using EDI and various B2B standards.

The standard is being defined in "parts" which are individually released as they are approved.

The official ISA 95 standard is defined by ANSI / ISA - 95.00.xx. These are available to ISA members for free as follows:
