The user would like to identify components of a machine. The user wants to get standardized information about the component, like manufacturer or serial number, and set user-specific information in order to simplify the usage of the component.

That leads to the requirements:

• Information about the component, like manufacturer or serial number, can be accessed (see section 10.2, MachineryComponentIdentificationType).
• Application-specific information about a component can be set by an OPC UA Client (see section 10.2, MachineryComponentIdentificationType).
