Question
Does VDA 5050 (current or planned) cover elevator dispatch or door access semantics? If yes, Sup-003 scope can shrink to reference the standard instead of defining its own contract.
Findings
VDA 5050 v2.1.0 Scope (Current)
VDA 5050-2, version 2.1.0 (published January 2025) covers: - Factsheet publication (vda5050/factsheet) - State updates (vda5050/state/<serialNumber>) - Order dispatch (vda5050/order/<serialNumber>) - Connection state (vda5050/connection/<serialNumber>) - Order cancellation via instantActions with cancelOrder: vda5050/instantActions/<serialNumber> - Navigation nodes with building/floor attributes
NOT covered: - Elevator dispatch (no elevator topic, no boarding status) - Door access (no door lock/unlock semantics) - Building infrastructure interaction
VDA 5050 3.0 (April 2026)
VDA 5050 3.0 was published in April 2026. New features include: - Zone definitions with explicit permission requirements - Movement rules within zones - Area-based access control
The VDA 5050 specification is publicly available at: https://github.com/VDA5050/VDA5050
Rocom has reviewed VDA 5050 3.0. Version 2.1.0 is retained as the normative baseline because it provides sufficient coverage for current deployments and is widely implemented. Overlap with 3.0 zone semantics is addressed through Rocom’s own zone model (Part 1) and the Healthcare profile.
Kilde-sjekk: - VDA hjemmeside (vda.de): Ingen offentlig roadmap for VDA 5050 funnet. VDA 5050-dedikerte sider returnerer 404. - VDA 5050 er offentlig tilgjengelig via GitHub: https://github.com/VDA5050/VDA5050 - Ingen VDMA roadmap dokument funnet offentlig.
Relevante Standarder
- EN 81-28 (Elevators — Safety rules — Additional requirements for power-operated pedestrian access doors): Eksisterer, men er en sikkerhetsstandard, ikke en kommunikasjonsprotokoll for robot-elevator-interaksjon.
- BACnet (ASHRAE Standard 135): Har
AccessDoorogElevatorGroupobjekter, men er BMS-intern — ikke designet for robot-initiert kommunikasjon.
Conclusion
FINNES IKKE. VDA 5050 dekker verken elevator dispatch eller door access, og det finnes ingen offentlig indikasjon på at dette planlegges.
Konsekvens for Sup-003: Full scope beholde. Sup-003s normative schema for elevator dispatch og door access er nødvendig — det finnes ingen standard å referere til.
