IEC 62872-2:2022 presents an IoT application framework for industrial facility demand response energy management (FDREM) for the smart grid, enabling efficient information exchange between industrial facilities using IoT related communication technologies. This document specifies: - an overview of the price-based demand response program that serves as basic knowledge backbone of the IoT application framework; - a IoT-based energy management framework which describes involved functional components, as well as their relationships; - detailed information exchange flows that are indispensable between functional components; - existing IoT protocols that need to be identified for each protocol layer to support this kind of information exchange; - communication requirements that guarantee reliable data exchange services for the application framework.

IEC 62832-1:2020 defines the general principles of the Digital Factory framework (DF framework), which is a set of model elements (DF reference model) and rules for modelling production systems. This DF framework defines: a) model of production system assets; b) a model of relationships between different production system assets; c) the flow of information about production system assets. d) The DF framework does not cover representation of building construction, input resources (such as raw production material, assembly parts), consumables, work pieces in process, nor end products.. e) It applies to the three types of production processes (continuous control, batch control, and discrete control) in any industrial sector (for example aeronautic industries, automotive, chemicals, wood).

IEC TR 63283-1:2022(E) is to compile a comprehensive collection of base terminology with compatible terms that can become relevant within the scope of Smart Manufacturing. Most of these terms refer to existing definitions in the domain of industrial-process measurement, control and automation and its various subdomains. When multiple similar definitions exist for the exact same term in different standards, this document contains only the preferred definition in the context of Smart Manufacturing. Whenever the existing definitions are not compatible with other terms in this document or when the definition does not fit into the broader scope of Smart Manufacturing, new or modified definitions are given.

Industrial IoT, (I)IoT devices, Edge, Cloud, 6G and AI are the key topics and sections, including edge management, edge providers etc. Standardization needs are addressed.

IEC TR 62541-1:2020 which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 62541-1:2020 presents the concepts and overview of the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA). Reading this document is helpful to understand the remaining parts of this multi-part document set. Each of the other parts of IEC 62451 is briefly explained along with a suggested reading order.

IEC TR 62541-2:2020 which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 62541-2:2020 describes the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) security model. It describes the security threats of the physical, hardware, and software environments in which OPC UA is expected to run. It describes how OPC UA relies upon other standards for security. It provides definition of common security terms that are used in this and other parts of the OPC UA specification. It gives an overview of the security features that are specified in other parts of the OPC UA specification. It references services, mappings, and Profiles that are specified normatively in other parts of the OPC UA Specification. It provides suggestions or best practice guidelines on implementing security. Any seeming ambiguity between this part and one of the other normative parts does not remove or reduce the requirement specified in the other normative part.

The document lists the functionalities and capabilities required by a MEC compliant implementation. In addition, the document specifies a testing framework defining a methodology for development of interoperability and/or conformance test strategies, test systems and the resulting test specifications for MEC standards. In additional, the testable requirements are listed and prioritized.

The document addresses roles of IIoT platforms and edge computing in the context of architecture-related transition from classical automation pyramid to automation networks, particularly related to security issues.

IEC/TS 62443-1-1:2009(E) is a technical specification which defines the terminology, concepts and models for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) security. It establishes the basis for the remaining standards in the IEC 62443 series.

The document provides a framework and reference architecture for Multi-access Edge Computing that describes a MEC system that enables MEC applications to run efficiently and seamlessly in a multi-access network. The document also describes the functional elements and the reference points between them, and a number of MEC services that comprise the solution. It finally presents a number of key concepts related to the multi-access edge architecture.

The document defines a framework to be used by ETSI ISG MEC to coordinate and promote multivendor Proofs of Concept (PoC) projects and MEC Deployment Trial (MDT) projects illustrating key aspects of MEC technology. Proofs of Concept are an important tool to demonstrate the viability of a new technology during its early days and or pre-standardization phase. MDTs are seen as the next step of PoC to demonstrate the viability of MEC in a commercial trial/deployment and to provide feedback to the standardization work.

The document defines design principles for RESTful MEC service APIs, provides guidelines and templates for the documentation of these, and defines patterns of how MEC service APIs use RESTful principles.
