IEC 62424

Abstract

Scope: This International Standard specifies how process control engineering requests are represented in a P&ID for automatic transferring data between P&ID and PCE tool and to avoid misinterpretation of graphical P&ID symbols for PCE. It also defines the exchange of process control engineering request relevant data between a process control engineering tool and a P&ID tool by means of a data transfer language (called CAEX). These provisions apply to the export/import applications of such tools. The representation of the PCE functionality in P&IDs will be defined by a minimum number of rules to clearly indicate their category and processing function, independent from the technique of realization (see Clause 6). The definition of graphical symbols for process equipment (e.g. vessels, valves, columns, etc.), their implementation and rules for the reference designation system are not in the scope of this standard. These rules are independent from this standard. Clause 7 specifies the data flow between the different tools and the data model CAEX.
