本标准描述了制造操作和控制功能与其他企业功能之间的接口内容。考虑的接口是本标准定义的层次模型的3级和4级之间的接口。目标是提高接口术语的一致性和一致性，减少与实现这些接口相关的风险、成本和错误。该标准可用于减少与实施新产品相关的工作。目标是使企业系统和控制系统能够相互操作并易于集成。

This standard describes the interface content between manufacturing operations and control functions and other enterprise functions. The interfaces considered are the interfaces between Levels 3 and 4 of the hierarchical model defined by this standard. The goals are to increase uniformity and consistency of interface terminology and reduce the risk, cost, and errors associated with implementing these interfaces.The standard can be used to reduce the effort associated with implementing new product offerings. The goal is to have enterprise systems and control systems that inter-operate and easily integrate.
