The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the metric
system of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the preparation of
instrumentation standards. The Department is further aware of the benefits to USA users of ISA
standards of incorporating suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and
professional dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce
SI-acceptable metric units in all new and revised standards, recommended practices, and technical
reports to the greatest extent possible. Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The
Modern Metric System, published by the American Society for Testing & Materials as IEEE/ASTM SI 1 0-
97, and future revisions, will be the reference guide for definitions, symbols, abbreviations, and
conversion factors.

INTRODUCTION
This I SA-95 Part 6 standard is based on the use of ISA-95 object models defined in I SA-95 Parts
2, 4 and 5 (Parts 1 and 3 do not contain object models) to define a set of services that may be
used to exchange inform ation messages. It is recognized that other, non-Part 6 sets of services
are possible and are not deemed invalid as a result of this standard . This Part 6 standard defines
a Messaging Service Model (MSM) for exchanging data exchange messages in a
publish/subscribe m ode and a request/response m ode. It defines a m inimal interface s ubset to
message exchange systems.
The Messaging Service Model provides a method for applications to send and receive messages
from MSM service providers without regard to the underlying comm unication m echanism , as part
of a com plete application -to-application comm unication protocol.
This Part 6 standard defines a set of services definitions that are designed to provide the
functionality needed for a vendor-independent method for sending and receiving data exchange
messages on a message exchange system, su ch as an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) .
The knowledge requirements to interface to just one message exchange system can be
immense, and are usually not transferable to a different system . MSM defines a single interface,
independent of the underlying services, for Level 3-3 and Level 4-3 comm unications. This
removes the need for vendors to build custom interface after custom interface, and for end users
to get locked into a single vendor because their investment prevents them from reusing any of
the integration efforts.
Enterprise-control system integration involves multiple different steps to exchange data between
different com puter system applications, as shown in Figure 1 .
a) The applications usually have different internal represen tations of exchanged objects in
their own local data stores. This representation is usually converted from the local format
to a com monly accepted global format. The ISA-95 Part 2 standard defines
representations of a global format for Level 4-3 data exchanges. The Part 4 standard
defines representations of a global format for Level 3 -3 data exchanges. This con version ,
from local to g lobal and g lobal to local , is usuall y perform ed twice for an y two-way
comm unications .
EXAMPLE 1 Assum e two applications, ALP HA and BETA: the ALPHA appl ication initi ates a data exchang e
with the BETA appl ication, and BETA responds back to ALPHA. The form at conversions are:
AL H A’ c f b f f h qu d , b f BETA’ c
form at for the re q u d , B ETA’ c f b f f h p d , d
b f AL H A’ f f h p d .
b) Conversion must be performed to align the nam espaces am ong the exchanging
applications, and is usually perform ed four times for any two-way comm unications.
EXAMPLE 2 Nam es for elem ents of data may be codes, tag nam es, or equipm ent identifiers.
EXAMPLE 3 Data which are represented in one elem ent nam espace, such as codes 1 , 2, 3, 4 , m ay have a
different nam espace in another appli cati on, such as codes Ok, Done, Error, Delay.
c) Once information is in the global format with appropriate global nam es , the exchanged
information is sent from one application to another application.
d) Messages are transported from one application to another, either within the same
computer environment or across computers. Transport m echanism s are defined in other
standards, such as TCP/IP and Ethernet standards.
e) When data exchange information is received, there are specific rules that define what
resultant data are to be returned. The transaction rules are defined in the ISA-95 Part 5
standard.

– 19 – ANSI/ISA-95.00. 06-201 4
In the MSM model these are sim plified to Provider Application (Information Provider and
Inform ation Receiver) and Consum er Application (Inform ation User and Inform ati on Sender), as
shown in Figure 4.
The Provider Application is the owner of data. The Provider Application can publish changes to
the data, can receive requests to change the data, and respond to queries for the data.
Note 1 The phr “ w f d ” u d d f h pp c h h p b f f c h
consistency of data.
An application can be a provider application, consum er application or both . If an application is
both, then it should be a consumer of different data than it provides.
A recomm ended structure for the MSM Channel hierarchy is defined in this docum ent.
Each MSM Channel supports two way com munications between provider applications and
consumer applications.
1 . An MSM Channel m ay be created to support either publication services or request
services.
2. A Provider Application may post publications to an MSM Publication Channel.
3. Consumer Applications m ay subscribe to publication notifications (if supported by the
specific MSM Publication Channel Service) and m ay read publications. If notifications are
not supported, then the Consumer Application m ay poll the MSM Publication Channel
using the read publication service .
4. A Consumer Application may post requests to an MSM Request Channel.
5. A Provider Application may subscribe to request notifications (if supported by the specific
MSM Request Channel Service) and may read requests. If notifications are not
supported, then the Provider Application m ay poll the MSM Request Channel using the
read request service.
6. MSM Channels have associated Topics. Topics are identified when subscribing to a
channel, when posting a publication, and when posting a request.
4.6 Notification services
The notification service shall be the means that the MSM Service Provider uses to indicate to a
provider or consum er application that a m essage that m eets their read criteri a is waiting to be
read. The notification services provide a method for an asynchronous callback alternative to
polling the MSM services.
Notification services shall be accessible using a Notify Listener service on a subscriber,
requester, or responder.
The notification services interface is optional for an MSM provider.
If a provider/consum er application does not provide a callback identification for the notification
services, then notification shall not be provided to the application.
NOTE The form at of the listener identification for notificati on will be defined by the im plem entation technolog y.
EXAMPLE A SOAP and Web Service im plem entation m ay define the Listener I dentificati on as a valid URL that
defines a Notify Listener service, which is m anag ed by the application creati ng the session.

4.8.1 Publication channel services
The MSM Publication Channel Services shall be used to post, expire, remove, and read
publication messages.
The MSM Publication Channel Services are shown in Figure 6. The services allow multiple
Provider Applications to post publications to the same channel . Consumer Applications m ay
subscribe to notifications (if supported by the channel) and m ay read publications .

NOTE The MSM services do not contain a m ethod to browse the MSM Roots that are defined. These special
services should be provi ded by an MSM service im plem entation and m ay have security restrictions that
are outside the scope of the MSM services.
A channel scope m ay be a software system , because the i nform ation is provi ded by a well-known system
, u ch “ OurMaterialManager”, “ PersonnelTracker”, “ InventoryDatabase ” .
A channel scope m ay be com panywi de because the inform ation is intended for any applicati on in the
com pany. I n this case the channel scope should indicate the enti re enterprise or com pany, such as
“ Enterprise” “ Company”, b u .
5. 2. 5 I n fo rm a t i o n scop e
The information scope shall define the range or general type of information exchanged . The
information scope may be related to transaction nouns defined in Part 2 and Part 4 of this
standard, to other collections of objects.
Exam ple:
An application which handl es all form s of m aterial inform ation m ay define a channel with an i nform ation scope
f “ Material” .
An application that only handles Material Lot and Sublot inventori es m ay defi ne a channel with an inform ation
c p f “ Inventory” .
5. 2. 6 Ch an n el u se
The channel use shall qualify the information scope to indicate how the information is being
used. The channel use may be related to transaction verbs or other business or control process
that deal with how the information on the channel is to be used .
To support interoperability, channel use should correspond to the classes of transaction
message verbs, as defined in the ISA-95. 05 and B2MML or other standards.
Exam ple 1 Classes of verbs from the I SA-95. 05 standard
Query: GET / SHOW
Com m and: PROCESS / ACKNOWLEDGE, CHANGE / RESPOND, CANCEL
Publication: SYNC ADD, SYNC CHANGE, SYNC DELETE
Exam ple 2
An appl ication that sends GET m essages d f ch w h ch u f “ Query”.
An application that sends PROCESS, CHANGE, and CANCEL m essages m ay define a channel with a channel
u f “ Command”.
An applicati on that sends SYNC m essages m ay define a channel with a channel use of “ Publication ” . This
channel would be used as a publication channel for a snapshot of all of the exchang ed i nformation.
Exam ple 3
Publication Changes and Publication Checkpoint channel use can be used together by a provi der application as
shown i n Figure 8.
The Checkpoint channel should be used to publish a current snapshot of all of the exchanged i nform ation.
The Changes channel should be used to publish all chang es since the last snapshot .
After a checkpoint is published, the provider applicati on m ay clear all publicati ons from the Changes channel and
m ay clear previous Checkpoint publicati ons.
This dual publicati on channel m ethod allows a consum er application to quickly sync all published inform ation on a
topic, without excessive i nteraction with the MSM services.

With the time-based expiration, the expiration time is calculated based on the completion of
invocation of the Post Publication service plus the specified duration.
Any publication message may be expired through the Expire Publication service.
5.5 Topics
5.5.1 Topic definition
Topics shall be used in application servi ces to lim it or filter the type of inform ation that is
obtained from read and notify requests for Provider Applications and Consumer Applications .
Topics shall be used by Provider Applications to specify the type of information that they will be
publishing or posting on an MSM Channel.
Topics allow a single channel to handle a collection of different data, yet still provide a m ethod
for the receiver of the data to limit the types of data that it is required to handle .
5.5.2 Standard topics
To support interoperability, the topics should correspond to the transaction m essage verbs and
nouns, as defined in the I SA-95.05 and B2MML or other standards .

The topic names should contain the associated standard and version number of the associated
standard or noun.
Exam ple 2 One topic m ay be defined for m essages using B2MML-V0402-Materi alLot definiti ons, another for B2MML-
V0501 -Materi alLot defi nitions and a thi rd topic for m essages using B2MML -V0600-MaterialLot defi niti ons.
The same topic may be defined on m ultiple channels .
Exam ple 3 There m ay be a ProductionSchedule topic defi ned for CheckPoint and Changes channels with a site
channel scope, and a ProductionSchedule topic defined for Checkpoint and Changes channels for an area
channel scope.
Exam ple 4 There m ay be a QualificationTest topic defined for a Request channel at the enterprise channel scope,
and a QualificationTest topic defined for a Request channel at the country channel scope.
5.7 Security
5.7.1 Secure messag e exchanges
Security in message exchanges shall be defined as authenticated access to MSM channel
services.
NOTE: Security in the MSM services i s of param ount im portance. I n the MSM Service m odel the comm unication
applications have no knowl edg e of their com m unication partners, and do not kn ow if there are none (for a
publisher with no subscri ptions), one, or m any. Therefore, security cannot be defi ned as comm unication
with trusted partners, but as comm unication through secure channels .

7 Scenarios
7.1 Publish-subscribe scenarios
7.1 .1 Simple publish-subscribe scenario
A simple publish/subscribe scenario with a single provider application and a single consum er
application using the notification services, is show n in Figure 1 0.
NOTE 1 There will usually be m ultiple consum er applicati ons recei ving publicati ons, but only one is sh own in this
exam ple.
NOTE 2 I t is assum ed that the appropri ate channels and topics have been created prior to the scenario.
In this scenario the provider application opens an MSM publication channel with a channel URI
and security token. When the provider application has determined that data should be published ,
it posts publications (using SYNC m essages) with a message topic.
A consumer application subscribes to the MSM publication channel using a channel URI, security
token, and list of topics. The session ID is saved in case the consumer application stops
unexpectedly.
When a new message with the right topic is posted, the consum er application is notified of the
posting and then reads the new publication m essage from the MSM channel.
When the consum er application no longer needs data, it unsubscribes from the subscription
session and clears the session ID in persistent storage so that it will open a new session when
restarted.

In this scenario, the provider application opens an MSM publication session for a given channel.
When the provider application has determ ined that data should be published, it posts publication
[a] with a message topic and no message expiry.
A consumer application opens a session to the MSM publication channel using the same channel
and list of topics. The session I D is stored for later use when the consumer application stops and
restarts.
When a notification is received, the consumer application reads and rem oves all publications
until a null is returned from the Read Publication .
When the consumer application stops and restarts it retrieves the saved session ID. Because
the consumer application was not active, there m ay have been a m issed notification so the
application reads and rem oves all new publications until a null is returned from the Read
Publication.
When the consum er application has finished all processing and no longer wants to receive
subscriptions it closes the subscription session and clears t he saved session ID.

A publish/subscribe scenario with a single provider application, where notification services are
not available or the consumer application is not able to use notification services, is shown in
Figure 1 2. In this scenario there is no change for the actions of the provider application from the
scenario in 7. 1 .1 .

In this scenario, the consumer application would poll the MSM channel for publi cations either
periodically or based on some local event. The returned information from the read indicates if a
new publication was returned.
The next Read Publication call returns either the next publication from the subscription queue or
null if there are no more publications available.

8 Compliance
Although this standard does not contain a statem ent of com pliance, any assessm ent of
com pliance should address the following provisions in a separate conformity assessment
specification:
a) The use of the term inology defined in this standard
b) For each service supported
i) The support for notification services as defined in 4.6
ii) Declaration of level of support for Filter Expressions
iii) A statem ent of the total compliance concerning definitions, services, and optional
elements or, in case of partial com pliance, a statement identifying explicitly the areas of
noncom pliance.

MSM service provider considerations
A.1 Service provider considerations
The following sections define ESB type services that can be provided by MSM Service Providers.
The services are not part of the MSM specification, but provide som e of the areas in which
vendors and others can provide differentiated service.
A.2 Notification
MSM Service Providers are not required to implement notification capability. This allows light
weight MSM Service Provider im plem entations where polling is an acceptable method for
synchronization of applications.
A.3 Security considerations
An MSM Service Provider should take the following concerns and issues into account:
1 . The MSM Service Provider m ay store m essages in a persistent data store. If this is the
case and there is security on the channel, then the stored m essages may need to be
encrypted to prevent unauthorized access to the stored messages.
2. Requests for access with invalid security tokens should be logged. They either indicate a
problem with configuration information or a possible attack of the system.
3. Requests for access to invalid channel URIs should be logged. They either indicate a
problem with configuration information or a possible attack of the system.
4. Messages exchanged within the MSM Service implementation may require encryption or
connection through secure channels. The m ethod used m ay be dependent on the
transport services used and is not defined in the MSM interface.
5. MSM session IDs should be globally unique and use restricted to a specific provider or
consum er in order to prevent access to a channel without going through token securi ty.
access to a session without going through token controlled security. Several services rely on the
MSM session ID for security. Because MSM session IDs are persistent, if an application stores it,
then the storage mechanism should have security m easures in place to ensure that only the
storing application can retrieve the MSM session I D and use it for comm unication.
A.7 Data format validation
MSM Service Providers could provide data form at checking services for messages. If a m essage
is supposed to follow a predefined and well specified form at, such as B2MML or BatchML, then
the service provider could provide a service to check the syntax correct ness of posted
messages.
This would provide a governance check on messages.
In this situation the MSM Service Provider could maintain a map between topics and XML
schema files. The service provider would use that m ap to check correctness on posted
subscriptions, requests, and responses.
A.8 Allowed application checking
MSM Service Providers could provide governance checks that applications creating and
subscribing to channels are allowed applications. This check would provide an additional level of
security, which m ay be important if the MSM Services go outside the com pany.
A.9 Data exchange logging
MSM Service Providers could provide services to log all or selected m essages for purposes of
governance, com pliance, and auditing. Because all m essages are in an XML form at, and the
posting application is known, this could provide an audit or error tracing log that captures all in -
band comm unications.
A.1 0 Common error handling
MSM Service Providers could provide services for a consistent method for handling errors
detected by provider and consum er applications. An error handling service, provided as a
dedicated channel, could be used to determ ine the response to the error. Depending on the
error, such as invalid message received, lost m essage, incorrect data in m essage, or failure in
MSM services, the error handling service could notify the appropriate person or entity with
responsibility.
A.1 1 Data transformation services
MSM Service Providers could provide transform ation services for messages. Typically this would
be from a provider or consumer application specific form at into a common format (such as
B2MML or BatchML), and from a standard form at to an application specific form at.
There is no requirem ent that an MSM Service Provider provide transformation services.
A recommended method to handle the transformation interfaces is through topics. Topics may be
defined that match the application specific format for the m essages. The MSM Service Provider
could provide a m ethod for associating a topic to a transformation mapping. W hen a message is
received with a transform ation topic, then the MSM Service Provider would transform the
message to a standard format. When a read request is received with a transform ation topic, then
the MSM Service Provider would transform the standard format into the application specific topic
form at.
The MSM Service Provider would m aintain the relationship between the application specific

Enterprise Service Buses
The typical IT environment is a federation of systems . Th “f d ” h T w d
applied to collections of applications from m ultiple vendors that work together to support
business processes. A federation may include separate applications for material management,
order processing, supply chain m anagement, customer relations, and production scheduling .
Even when a com pany has selected a primary ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) vendor,
there is often a federation of legacy system s supporting unique business processes . Federated
system s are expensive and integration efforts are often a major portion of IT budgets . An
increasingly common method to reduce integration costs is an En terprise Service Bus (ESB)
som etim es called an Enterprise I ntegration Bus (EIB) . These are not electronic busses in the
sense of an electrical backplane bus. I nstead they are specialized applications that run on
redundant servers and act as concentrators and distributors of data. Manufacturing systems that
u xch d w h bu w p b b d c c h c p ’ E B.
Enterprise Service Buses are an architectural concept that includes open standards, message
based comm unications, message routing capabilities, and service discovery mechanisms . There
is no single definition of an ESB product, but a working rule is that it is a system that provides:
o a single source of shared information,
o a single location for discovering application services, and
o a single destination for using services.
Several vendors are providing ESB, but a few manufacturing companies have also built their own
ESB systems based on open standards and focused on their unique integration problems. Once
a company has selected an ESB system, then the IT department will usually attempt to have all
applications that exchange data (including manufacturing applications) use the ESB instead of
im plem enting point-to-point connections. Unfortunately, there is little intero perability between
different ESB systems, so each application interface must be customized for the chosen ESB .
There are five m ain elem ents of ESBs that are im portant in co nnecting applications to an ESB:
1 . a data transfer element,
2. a service discovery element,
3. a data transform element,
4. a transaction protocol element, and
5. a payload elem ent.
All of the elements are based on XML technologies and newer ESBs are based on web services .
The data transfer element handles transporting XML messages from one appl ication to another
through the common server. This elim inates point-to-point interfaces and provides a centralized
mechanism to manage and view inter-application communication . HTTP (Hypertext Transmission
Protocol) m essages and JMS (Java Message Services) are comm on open-source
im plem entations data transfer element layer implementations . OPC-UA (www. opcfoundation. org)
may becom e the standard data transfer mechanism for manufacturing system integration .
The service discovery element allows applications to discover the services and data provided by
the ESB. This is typically handled by UDDI services (www. uddi. org) in the IT environment and ,
for exam ple, is included as part of OPC-UA services. The MSM im plem entation should define the
service discovery mechani sm.
Th d f p vd h d h c v d f h d ’ f h
c v ’ f h u h f pp c p cfc f . This is often performed
u
using som e form of XML transformation, such as XSLT scripts . This could be handled by the
MSM Service Provider.
ANSI/I SA-95.00. 06-201 4 – 62 –
The transaction protocol element implements the formal definition of allowable message
transactions and is often based on standards such as IEC 62264 -5, OAGIS
(www. openapplications. org), or RosettaNet ( www. rosettanet. org ) standards.
The payload element defines the data that makes up the body of the message . In the
manufacturing area, the standards bodies which com pose the OpenO&M Initiative (ISA, WBF,
MIMOSA, and OPC) define the XML information payloads.
The basic MSM concept is to provide a common interface to any ESB or other message
exchange system , as illustrated in Figure 20.
