Common CIM
Transformation Component
Each transformation, from a unique data
model to the CIM, requires unique logic;
however, Schneider Electric offers a
single transformation component
supporting multiple source data models
through a relatively simple, mapping
configuration shared by all models.

Common Information Model
A standard data model for electric utilities encompassing
many information systems, developed by the International
Electrotechnical Commission, working group 14.
●IEC 61970: Distribution network, loads, outage, SCADA, …
●IEC 61968: Asset management, customer information, …
●Schema specified in the Unified Modeling Language
●Designed to integrate systems serving the control center
including transmission, distribution and generation systems
requiring real-time integration.
●Avoids a multiplicity of bilateral, inter-system integration
components.

CIM Profile
A CIM profile is a subset of the CIM describing a portion of
the model recorded by a particular information system, a
distribution feeder model recorded by a GIS for example.
●A single data source may support many profiles.
●Does not describe the transformation from a source data
model to the CIM
●Specified with the Resource Description Framework (RDF),
XML Schema Definition (XSD) or Web Ontology Language
(OWL)

Query
Query
A Query retrieves a set of related data from a data
source and constructs a query set representing a
portion of the source model.
Example: An ArcFM feeder query connects to an
ArcFM database, performs an ArcFM distribution
circuit trace, retrieves data related to the feeder
equipment and constructs a query set representing
the equipment and related data.
16
Query
Set
Query Set
A Schemaless* Collection of Related Objects
An object of Class-1 is related to two objects of Class-2. One relationship is named.
*An object may have any attribute and may be related to any other object, and an
object’s class name is simply a required attribute.

Mapping
Configuration
Mapping Configuration
A Mapping Configuration describes the relationship between the
source data model and the CIM, enabling a single integration
component to generate the CIM from diverse utility systems.
• Maps related CIM classes to classes related in the data
source
• Maps each attribute of a concrete CIM class to one or more
data source attributes
• Mapping Operators derive CIM property values from data
source field values

Post
Processing
Operators
Post Processing
Post Processing operations apply additional transformation
logic to CIM objects after property mapping is complete.
Because post processing operates on the CIM rather than
the source data model, operations developed for one
source often are applicable to other sources with little or
no modification.

ArcFM Integration
ArcFM’s Network Adapter supports
CIM integration
● Supports standard feeder queries
● Requires an ArcFM client and Network
Adapter license
● Runs outside of ArcMap
● Command line support enables batch
processing
25
ArcFM
CIMINT Export
● Runs inside or outside of ArcMap
● Requires no ArcFM client
● Supports data sources other than
ArcFM
26
ArcFM
● Supports feeder, station,
landbase, ArcMap selection set
and custom queries
● Configure connections to many
SDE/PGDB instances
● Configure connections to SDE
versions

ArcFM
28
Beyond ArcFM
Schneider’s CIM integration framework
supports ADMS integration with systems
other than ArcFM and can generate the
Common Information Model from systems
other than ArcFM for systems other than
ADMS.
29
Beyond ArcFM
Smallworld Electric Office
CIMINT seamlessly integrates
Electric Office with ADMS at Austin
Energy. AE users employ a familiar
GUI to export a feeder model from
EO. The EO export component
invokes CIMINT to generate a CIM
feeder model for ADMS.
