PA-DIM® bridges the gap between OT and IT in the process industries

The Process Automation Device Information Model (PA-DIM®) is an open specification that defines an OPC UA (Unified Architecture) information model for process automation devices, including semantic identification.

This vendor-independent model provides a structured hierarchy that allows standardized access to data produced by field instrumentation devices.

Speaking the same language

The Process Automation Device Information Model offers industrial plant owners, automation system vendors and application developers a common language for describing instrumentation device data that’s independent of automation protocols, device type or manufacturer.

PA-DIM® and ABB Field Information Manager

The benefits of PA-DIM® are leveraged in ABB Field Information Manager (FIM), the versatile but easy to use software-based device management tool that gives process plant operators control over large fleets of connected devices at plant level, or across a wider estate of facilities.
