Abstract: To achieve interoperability between different 3D virtual commissioning software, a generic virtual commissioning data model is required. AutomationML is a standard neutral format for interoperability in the engineering phase. However, the current AutomationML standard is not sufficient for full-scope 3D-based virtual commissioning data exchange, as attributes and modeling method of 3D virtual commissioning-related sensors, actuators and signal connections are not standardized in AutomationML. To fill this gap, the authors suggest extending AutomationML for interoperability in 3D virtual commissioning. In this paper, a case-driven iterative approach is introduced to evolve towards an AutomationML extension. This extension is gradually developed by taking the union of all virtual commissioning-related functions and attributes of 3D virtual commissioning software. During the iteration, naming rules are applied when a new attribute is added to the extension. With this approach, an initial AutomationML extension is created by implementing a first iteration. The interoperability performance of this extension is subsequently evaluated by conducting data exchange of a representative set of 3D emulation models between two 3D virtual commissioning software, namely Siemens NX and Visual Components, via self-developed 'Import' and 'Export' plug-ins. It shows that AutomationML extension-based data exchange converts 70% more attributes than that only based on AutomationML. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
