TS EN 62714-3

TS EN 62714-3 is the third part of the standard for Engineering Data Exchange Format for use in Industrial Automation Systems Engineering, focusing on how geometry and kinematics information is exchanged within Automation Markup Language (AML). It matters because plant automation projects often rely on several engineering tools, and consistent data transfer helps preserve both the physical shape of equipment and its motion-related behavior. In this context, geometry describes spatial form and placement, while kinematics describes motion relationships, joints, and mechanism behavior.

Why geometry and kinematics are handled together

AML is used as an engineering data exchange approach for planning, designing, and integrating automation systems. Keeping geometric and kinematic information in the same exchange model helps preserve not only how an asset looks and is positioned, but also how its moving parts relate to one another. That distinction is important in practice because a machine cell, a robot, a slide, a joint, or an axis may require different kinds of description depending on whether the task is layout, simulation, integration, or verification.

What this part means in practical terms

• Supports the exchange of geometry and kinematics information between engineering tools.
• Uses an AML-based approach for data interchange in plant automation.
• Helps represent motion-linked behavior, not just the physical outline of equipment.
• Provides a common technical language for system integration and digital engineering consistency.

In general technical terms, standards in this area help improve interoperability between CAD, systems engineering, and automation engineering tools. They make it easier to move information such as position, orientation, joint structure, or motion chains between software environments in a more meaningful way. TS EN 62714-3 addresses that interoperability need through AML-based representation of geometry and kinematics.
