What is BS EN IEC 62769‑6 about?
BS EN IEC 62769-6 is the sixth part of a multi-series standard that deals with the solutions for the collection and proper management of the information in various sectors.
BS EN IEC 62769‑6 specifies the technology mapping for the concepts described in the Field Device Integration (FDI) standard. FDI technology mapping focuses on implementation regarding the components FDI Client and User Interface Plug-in (UIP) that are specific only to the WORKSTATION platform/.NET as defined in IEC 62769-4.
Who is BS EN IEC 62769‑6 for?
BS EN IEC 62769‑6 on FDI technology mapping is applicable to:
- Companies shifting to service-oriented architecture
- Consultants working with software architecture
- Companies providing Field Device Integration services
- Field Device system suppliers
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62769‑6?
Field device integration solves the problem of integrating field devices with multiple networks, OS and control systems that are used in process industries. Technology mapping is an important factor in the FDI process as it influences heavily on the quality of field device integration.
BS EN IEC 62769‑6 provides you with the technology base for UIP implementation, the hardware and software environment including the related implementation rules which allows you to integrate your existing systems with field devices.
BS EN IEC 62769‑6 also guides you on technical concepts such as UIP representation, compatibility, UIP deployment, UIP lifecycle, the interaction between FDI client and UIP, security and more which helps you to enhance the data sharing between field devices and systems.
Users of BS EN IEC 62769-6 can deploy the brilliant field device system in their industries for managing all the data from various equipment used for configuration, calibration, networking and assure the safety of the data.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN IEC 62769‑6:2021 supersedes BS EN 62769‑6:2015, which is now withdrawn.
BS EN IEC 62769‑6:2021 includes a redesign of the security concept for UIP execution.
