This part of IEC 62832 specifies rules of the Digital Factory framework for managing information 
of a production system throughout its life cycle. It also defines how information will be added, 
deleted or changed in the DigitalFactory by the various activities during the life cycle of the 
production system. 
These rules include: 
– rules to represent a production system with a DigitalFactory; 
– rules to represent a PS asset or a role with a DFasset; 
– rules to represent a relationship between PS assets with a DFassetLink; 
– rules to represent a relationship between roles with a DFassetLink; 
– rules to represent the hierarchy of PS assets in a production system; 
– rules to check the compatibility between associated PS assets. 
NOTE 1 "PS" and "DF" are used in IEC 62832 (all parts) as qualifiers, they are part of the concept names. See 
IEC 62832-1:2020, Clause 3. 
NOTE 2 Common rules are the base for the exchange of data between and within enterprises, between engineering tools, and between departments.dition 1.0 2020-10 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD NORME INTERNATIONALE colour inside Industrial-process measurement, control and automation – Digital Factory framework – Part 3: Application of Digital Factory for life cycle management of production systems Mesure, commande et automation dans les processus industriels – Cadre de l’usine numérique (Digital Factory) – Partie 3: Application de l'usine numérique pour la gestion du cycle de vie de systèmes de production IEC 62832-3:
