This part of IEC 61987 provides:
a characterisation of industrial process measuring equipment (device type dictionary) for integration in the Common Data Dictionary (CDD), and
generic structures for operating lists of properties (OLOP) and device lists of properties (DLOP) of measuring equipment in conformance with IEC 61987-10.
The generic structures for the OLOP and DLOP contain the most important blocks for process measuring equipment. Blocks pertaining to a specific equipment type will be described in the corresponding part of the IEC 61987 standard series. Similarly, equipment properties are not part of IEC 61987-11. For instance, the OLOP and DLOP for flow transmitters with blocks and properties are to be found in IEC 61987-12.
