12.6 ServerState

This DataType is an enumeration that defines the execution state of the Server. Its values are defined in Table 136.

Table 136 – ServerState Values

Value	Description
RUNNING_0	The Server is running normally. This is the usual state for a Server.
FAILED_1	A vendor-specific fatal error has occurred within the Server. The Server is no longer functioning. The recovery procedure from this situation is vendor-specific. Most Service requests should be expected to fail.
NO_CONFIGURATION_2	The Server is running but has no configuration information loaded and therefore does not transfer data.
SUSPENDED_3	The Server has been temporarily suspended by some vendor-specific method and is not receiving or sending data.
SHUTDOWN_4	The Server initiated a shut down or is in the process of shutting down. This ServerState is intended as an indication to Clients connected to the Server to orderly disconnect from the Server before the Server completes the shut down.
TEST_5	The Server is in Test Mode. The outputs are disconnected from the real hardware, but the Server will otherwise behave normally. Inputs may be real or may be simulated depending on the vendor implementation. StatusCode will generally be returned normally.
COMMUNICATION_FAULT_6	The Server is running properly, but is having difficulty accessing data from its data sources. This may be due to communication problems or some other problem preventing the underlying device, control system, etc. from returning valid data. It may be a complete failure, meaning that no data is available, or a partial failure, meaning that some data is still available. It is expected that items affected by the fault will individually return with a BAD FAILURE status code indication for the items.
UNKNOWN_7	This state is used only to indicate that the OPC UA Server does not know the state of underlying system.

Its representation in the AddressSpace is defined in Table 137.

This structure contains elements that describe changes of the model. Its composition is defined in Table 156.

Description

ModelChangeStructureDataType

structure

affected

NodeId

NodeId of the Node that was changed. The client should assume that the affected Node has been created or deleted, had a Reference added or deleted, or the DataType has changed as described by the verb.

affectedType

NodeId

If the affected Node was an Object or Variable, affectedType contains the NodeId of the TypeDefinitionNode of the affected Node. Otherwise it is set to null.

verb

Byte

Describes the changes happening to the affected Node.

The verb is an 8-bit unsigned integer used as bit mask with the structure defined in the following table:

Field	Bit	Description
NodeAdded	0	Indicates the affected Node has been added.
NodeDeleted	1	Indicates the affected Node has been deleted.
ReferenceAdded	2	Indicates a Reference has been added. The affected Node may be either a SourceNode or TargetNode. Note that an added bidirectional Reference is reflected by two changes.
ReferenceDeleted	3	Indicates a Reference has been deleted. The affected Node may be either a SourceNode or TargetNode. Note that a deleted bidirectional Reference is reflected by two changes.
DataTypeChanged	4	This verb may be used only for affected Nodes that are Variables or VariableTypes. It indicates that the DataType Attribute has changed.
Reserved	5:7	Reserved for future use. Shall always be zero.

A verb may identify several changes on the affected Node at once. This feature should be used if event compression is used (see OPC 10000-3 for details).

Note that all verbs shall always be considered in the context where the ModelChangeStructureDataType is used. A NodeDeleted may indicate that a Node was removed from a view but still exists in other Views.

12.18 BitFieldMaskDataType

This simple DataType is a subtype of UInt64 and represents a bit mask up to 32 bits where individual bits can be written without modifying the other bits.

The first 32 bits (least significant bits) of the BitFieldMaskDataType represent the bit mask and the second 32 bits represent the validity of the bits in the bit mask. When the Server returns the value to the client, the validity provides information of which bits in the bit mask have a meaning. When the client passes the value to the Server, the validity defines which bits should be written. Only those bits defined in validity are changed in the bit mask, all others stay the same. The BitFieldMaskDataType can be used as DataType in the OptionSetType VariableType

Its representation in the AddressSpace is defined in Table 160.
