ISA95 job control (OPC 10031-4) defines mechanisms to add job order information using the 2:ISA95JobOrderDataType and mechanisms getting the result or current status of the job order using the 2:ISA95JobResponseDataType. Both DataTypes define arrays of properties of a job order: general, personnel, equipment, physical assets, and material. The 2:ISA95JobOrderDataType uses the general properties to describe the job order and the other properties to define the requirements, whereas the 2:ISA95JobResponseDataType uses the general properties to describe the output and the other properties to provide the information what has been used.

This specification standardizes some of those parameters, which are application-specific from the view of OPC 10031-4.
