Currently, the Management Objects defined in TS-0001 are mapped according to SDT (Smart Device Template) principles and specified in TS-0023, clause 5.8, "Device Management". However, there are some problems with the current situation:

  • TS-0023 is about mapping functionalities of vertical industries, and device management does not fully fit into that document.

  • Management Objects that are specified in TS-0022 are currently missing from the mappings.

  • TS-0023 is a constantly growing document.

These points make the discoverability of SDT modules of well as the management of TS-0023 as a document and its artefacts (i.e. shortnames, XSD documents) increasingly difficult. This situation was discussed during RDM#72.1, and it was agreed to create a new RDM specification and move the device management specifications to a new specification document.

Also, the managementObject specializations for Field Device Configurations as specified in TS-0022 have yet not been mapped to SDT ModuleClasses. It was agreed to map theses specializations as well to make them available as well.
