关于本标准:涵盖实时批量、离散和连续过程自动化系统。定义监管、事件驱动和时间驱动的控制系统动作。除了非控制操作（例如，操作员消息和批处理结束报告），还包括数字和模拟控制设备。包括系统的正常和异常操作需求，并显示它们之间的交互。使用一组与电厂操作员常用语言直接相关的术语。不包括与更高级别系统的交互。在本范围内，本标准旨在:建立控制软件文件的功能要求规范，涵盖由分布式控制系统组成的工业自动化设备和系统的类别， 可编程控制器和工业个人计算机（见图1）。 提供记录控制系统软件的技术。要生成的软件是为特定项目选择的计算机系统的功能。本标准中规定的文件编制程序独立于所选的硬件/软件系统。在开发和测试运行时应用程序软件后，为其验证提供依据，以确保满足初始需求规范。使用本标准产生的文件:可用于控制软件定义、设计、测试和验证。不打算要求任何特定工程或计算机科学学科的专业知识来开发或理解。

About this standard:Covers real-time batch, discrete and continuous process automation systems.Defines regulatory, event-driven and time-driven control system actions.Encompasses both digital and analog control devices in addition to non-control actions (for example, operator messages and batch end reports).Encompasses both normal and abnormal operational requirements of systems and shows the interactions between them.Uses a set of terms that relate directly to the languages commonly used by plant operators.Excludes interactions with higher-level systems. Within the parameters of this scope, the standard is intended to:Establish functional requirements specifications for control software documentation that covers the classes of industrial automation equipment and systems consisting of distributed control systems, programmable controllers and industrial personal computers (see Figure 1).Provide techniques for documenting control system software. The software to be generated is a function of the computer system chosen for a particular project. The documentation procedure set forth in this standard is independent of the hardware/software system that is chosen.Provide a basis for validation of run-time application software after it is developed and tested to ensure that the initial requirement specification has been met. The documentation resulting from use of this standard:Can be used for control software definition, design, testing and validation.Is not intended to require specialized knowledge of any particular engineering or computer science discipline to develop or understand.
