Protocols and communication patterns.

Communication Protocols	Protocols and methods for data exchange, ensuring compatibility and efficiency in communication between different systems and devices.
Data Exchange Patterns	The standard outlines various patterns of data exchange such as request-response, publish-subscribe, and report by exception. These patterns define how data is transmitted, received, and processed.
Security and Reliability	Aspects of secure and reliable data transmission are covered. This includes encryption, authentication, and error-checking mechanisms to ensure that data exchange is secure and error-free.
Interoperability Guidelines	Provides guidelines for ensuring that different systems and devices can work together seamlessly. This is especially important in environments where components from different manufacturers need to communicate with each other.
Real-time Data Exchange	It emphasizes the capability for real-time data exchange, which is critical in operational monitoring and control, as well as in failure detection and response scenarios.
