9.3.14 Rotation

This DataType is a structure that defines the rotation (or heading) of an object relative to the base coordinate system. The format is ‘yaw, pitch, roll’ as defined for aircraft principal axes. Its composition is formally defined in Table 67.

Description

Rotation

Structure

Subtype of Structure defined in OPC 10000-5.

Yaw

Double

The yaw of the object, in the unit defined for rotational measurements, e. g. in radians between PI and –PI (or in deg between +180° and -180°). Rotation measured around a vertical axis. Reference (yaw = 0) is the X-axis of the coordinate system

Pitch

Double

The pitch of the object, in the unit defined for rotational measurements, e. g. in radians between PI and –PI (or in deg between +180° and -180°). Rotation measured around a horizontal axis. Reference (pitch = 0) is the direction of the yaw on the horizontal plane of the coordinate system

Roll

Double

The roll of the object, in the unit defined for rotational measurements, e. g. in radians between PI and –PI (or in deg between +180° and -180°). Rotation measured around a horizontal axis pointing in the direction defined by yaw, pitch

Its representation in the AddressSpace is defined in Table 68.
