The Base Network Model (BNM) specifies an OPC UA Information Model for a basic set of network related components to be used in other OPC specifications.

The initial version defines parameter sets for TSN Talkers and Listeners as well as network interfaces and ports as shown in Figure 1. A future version of this specification is expected to have a broader scope of other network technologies than Ethernet only.
