FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62714-2 has been prepared by subcommittee 65E: Devices and
integration in enterprise systems, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process
measurement, control and automation.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data

INTRODUCTION
The data exchange format defined in IEC 62714 (Automation Markup Language, AML) is an
XML schema based data format and has been developed in order to support the data
exchange between engineering tools in a heterogeneous engineering tool landscape.
IEC 62714-1 gives an overview about the format.
The goal of AML is to interconnect engineering tools from the existing heterogeneous tool
landscape in their different disciplines, e.g. mechanical plant engineering, electrical design,
process engineering, process control engineering, HMI development, PLC programming, robot
programming, etc.
AML stores engineering information following the object oriented paradigm and allows
modelling of physical and logical plant components as data objects encapsulating different
aspects. An object may consist of other sub-objects and may itself be part of a larger
composition or aggregation. Typical objects in plant automation comprise information on
topology, geometry, kinematics and logic, whereas logic comprises sequencing, behaviour
and control.
AML combines existing industry data formats that are designed for the storage and exchange
of different aspects of engineering information. These data formats are used on “as-is” basis
within their own specifications and are not branched for AML needs.
The core of AML is the top-level data format CAEX that connects the different data formats.
Therefore, AML has an inherent distributed document architecture.
Figure 1 illustrates the basic AML architecture and the distribution of topology, geometry,
kinematic and logic information.

Figure 1 – Overview of the engineering data exchange format (AML)
Due to the different aspects of AML, IEC 62714 consists of different parts focussing on
different aspects.
• IEC 62714-1: Architecture and general requirements

– 10 – IEC 62714-2:2015 © IEC 2015
This part specifies the general AML architecture, the modelling of engineering data,
classes, instances, relations, references, hierarchies, basic AML libraries and extended
AML concepts.
• IEC 62714-2: Role class libraries
This part specifies additional AML libraries.
• IEC 62714-3 : Geometry and kinematics
This forthcoming part is intended to specify the modelling of geometry and kinematics
information.
In addition, another part (possibly Part 4) will specify the modelling of logics, sequencing,
behaviour and control related information.
Further parts may be added in the future in order to interconnect further data standards to
AML.
Clause 5 describes normative role class libraries within AML.
Annex A describes the informative AML extended role class library.
Annex B gives an informative example for the usage of AML role classes.
Annex C shows some user-defined role class libraries of different origins.
Annex D gives an informative XML representation of the libraries defined in this part of
IEC 62714.

Part 2: Role class libraries
1 Scope
The IEC 62714 series specifies an engineering data exchange format for use in industrial
automation systems.
This part of IEC 62714 specifies normative as well as informative AML role class libraries for
the modelling of engineering information for the exchange between engineering tools in the
plant automation area by means of AML. Moreover, it presents additional user defined
libraries as an example. Its provisions apply to the export/import applications of related tools.
This part of IEC 62714 does not define details of the data exchange procedure or
implementation requirements for the import/export tools.
