Standards Participation
American Welding Society A9 Technical Committee on Computerization of
Welding Information: This committee defines welding information that
can be used by computers for manufacturing functions such as product
design, process planning, and control of welding manufacturing equipment.
Tim Quinn of NIST Boulder is the current chairman. A9's first two specifications
involved data definitions for welding databases. The current activity
is a new application for the AWS, network communications, which we are
supporting with performance testing.
DMSC (Dimensional Measuring Standards Consortium): DMIS provides interoperability
of metrology equipment such as coordinate measuring machines. DMIS 5.0
is an ANSI National Standard; V5.0 is out for ballot and will be "fast
tracked" as an ISO standard under TC184SC1.
Participate in harmonization of ISO AP219 and DMIS standard (American
National Standards Institute (ANSI)/CAMI-I 101-1995, (DMIS)).
ISO 10303 Part 224 (Features for NC Machining): Participate in review
of standard and in testbed implementations
ISO 10303, Part 11 (the EXPRESS Language): Participate in review of
standard
ISO 10303, Part 42 (STEP Shape Representation): Participate in committee
meetings and in testbed implementations
ISO TC184 SC4 WG3 (STEP Parametrics Committee): Participate in meetings
and review of standard
ISO14649 (STEP/NC) standard for integration of product and process data
with machine control.: ISO 14649 is a proposed standard for integrating
machine tool control with product and process data defined in ISO 10303
(STEP) format. NIST has coordinated the U.S. response to European proposals
and has represented the U.S.
Metrology Automation Association Common Driver: The Metrology Automation
Association (MAA) is sponsoring the development of a standard interface
between coordinate measuring machines and inspection control and analysis
software. NIST is involved in developing the standard and writing validation
test suites.
OMAC API Working Group for developing software interfaces to open architecture
controllers.: OMAC API is a standards workgroup within the OMAC industry
forum to advance the state of controller technology by developing standard
software interfaces for open architecture controllers. NIST's activity
includes participating in the development the OMAC API specification
as well as developing a general motion control testbed to validate numerous
OMAC API modules and components. Part of NIST's OMAC API activity is
to cooperate with the OMAC Packaging subcommittee to develop scenarios
and validation strategies relevant to the Packaging Industry.
Robotics
Industries Association Standards Committee R15. This committee develops
ANSI standards for industrial robots. NIST has supported standards for
robot accuracy measurement and robot safety, including review of related
ISO standards work, and has played a key role in organizing a current
effort on open architecture controls which is focused on factory data
network interfaces.
National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Process Control Security
Requirements Forum: This group aims to help reduce the vulnerability
of process control industries to computer-based attacks, by applying
the Common Criteria for IT Security Evaluation to develop information
security requirements for industrial control systems used in manufacturing
and utilities. We are leading this collaborative effort, with the NIST
Information Technology Laboratory, the NIST Electrical and Electronic
Engineering Laboratory, the National Security Agency, and process control
equipment users, vendors, and integrators.
