For all Variables specified in this specification, the Attributes named in Table 5 shall be set as specified in the table.
Table 5 – Common Variable Attributes
| Attribute | Value | 
| MinimumSamplingInterval | Optionally, a vendor-specific minimum sampling interval is provided | 
| AccessLevel | The access level for Variables used for type definitions is vendor-specific, for all other Variables defined in this part, the access level shall allow a current read; other settings are vendor specific. | 
| UserAccessLevel | The value for the UserAccessLevel Attribute is vendor-specific. It is assumed that all Variables can be accessed by at least one user. | 
| Value | For Variables used as InstanceDeclarations, the value is vendor-specific; otherwise it shall represent the value described in the text. | 
| ArrayDimensions | If the ValueRank does not identify an array of a specific dimension (i.e. ValueRank <= 0) the ArrayDimensions can either be set to null or the Attribute is missing. This behaviour is vendor-specific. If the ValueRank specifies an array of a specific dimension (i.e. ValueRank > 0) then the ArrayDimensions Attribute shall be specified in the table defining the Variable. |
