ISO 10303-240:2005

ISO 10303-240:2005 specifies the use of the integrated resources necessary for the scope and information requirements for the exchange, sharing and long term data retention of computer-interpretable process plan information for both numerical control (NC) and manually operated applications and associated product definition data. The following are within the scope of ISO 10303-240:2005: information out of the planning activity that is contained in the process plans for machined parts which includes: numerical controlled machines; manual operations. the manufacture of a single piece mechanical part, and assemblies of single piece parts for manufacturing purpose which includes: process data for part routing which includes manufacturing process and setup sequencing; process data for operation. interface for capturing technical data out of the upstream application protocols which includes: product definition data, including tracking a design exception notice of a part; initial material definition data. technical data for and/or out of the process planning for machined pats which includes: machining features for defining shapes necessary for manufacturing; machining feature classification structure; geometric and dimensional tolerances of the parts being manufactured; materials, and properties of the parts being manufactured. references to standards and specifications declared in the process plan; work instructions for the tasks required to manufacture a part, using which include: references to the resources required to perform the work; the sequences of the work instructions; relationships of the work to the part geometry. information required to support NC programming of processes specified in the process plan; shop floor information specified in the process plan; information for production planning specified in the process plan;
