PLCS PSMApproach been tested by developing business templates and DEXs in a number of domains:

Modelling & Simulation (CRESCENDO / TOICA EU projects) Requirements management (NDLO/BAE Systems) Product configuration (NDLO, BAE Systems, SIMMT (French

MoD), Sweden’s FMV) Maintenance / Operational feedback (USMC, SIMMT (French

OASIS PLCS TC policy

All future development be done using SysML based PLCSlib

DEXlib will be deprecated

PLCS PSM and XML Schema is the PLCS exchange format

PLCS PSM, XML Schema and PLCS PSM Reference Data are standardized as OASIS Committee Specifications and will be submitted as for inclusion as part of ISO 10303-239 ed3

SysML based PLCSlib templates, PLCS ref. data and DEXs are standardized as OASIS Committee Specifications

Release schedule

Maintenance releases once per year q4 next Maintenance release q4 2014 Minor improvements and corrections to existing PLCS artifacts, e.g.

new templates, new reference data bugfixes

Next Harmonization release mid 2016 Focus on harmonization with AP242 BOM - AP 242 e2

Changes to PLCS Model, e.g new blocks Knock on changes to templates

Current plan to publish as part of AP239 ed3 mid 2016

Background

ISO 10303-239 ed2

Published as a full ISO standard 2012 Small increase in scope Greater compatibility with Systems Engineering and PLM ISO standards Adds: Risk, Verification & Validation, better effectivity / baselining

Model subsequently evolved to PLCS PSM and aligned with AP242 BOM

ISO 10303-239 ed2 Summary of changes from ed1

Used latest editions of modules Extended Selects Added:

System / non abstract Product Analysis Validation & verification Risk

Created: Collection Product Environment Same-as Conditional effectivity Identification relations

Modified: Message Observation Resources Product category – removed from modules Justification – added assumption

• The PLCSlib repository of DEXs and their supporting components is organized as follows: • Contexts: An index of all the Contexts;

A Context identifies a domain or business purpose area for which DEXs are defined; • DEXs: An index of all the DEXs;

A DEX identifies and documents a subset of the ISO 10303-239 (PLCS) information model required for a specific business purpose;

• Templates: An index of all the Templates;The usage of the PLCS information model by a DEX is defined through templates. The templates provide a precise specification of how the model is used to represent a given concept;

• Model Usage Guides: An index of all the Model Usage Guides; Model Usage Guides provide guidance on how the information model and templates should be used.

• Reference data: An index of the Reference Data used by the DEXs;Reference data provides a tailorable vocabulary that adds business specific semantics to the information model.

• Concept model: A high level model of the main concepts used in ISO 10303-239. It is intended to be used to introduce on a single page the scope that PLCS addresses.

• Activity model: The ISO 10303-239 Activity Model that illustrates the business activities that are supported by ISO 10303-239;

• PLCS PSM: The PLCS Platform Specific Model (PLCS PSM) that is used as the data exchange form for all DEXs. The PLCS PSM is a SysML model;

• NOTE For a summary of these components and inter relationships, see: PLCS technical overview.
