Errata exists for this version of the document.

Typically, the components of an ObjectType are fixed and can be extended by subtyping. However, since each Object of an ObjectType can be extended with additional components, this standard allows extending the standard ObjectTypes defined in this document with additional components. Thereby, it is possible to express the additional information in the type definition that would already be contained in each Object. Some ObjectTypes already provide entry points for server-specific extensions. However, it is not allowed to restrict the components of the standard ObjectTypes defined in this standard. An example of extending the ObjectTypes is putting the standard Property NodeVersion defined in OPC 10000-3 into the BaseObjectType, stating that each Object of the Server will provide a NodeVersion.

The BaseObjectType is used as type definition whenever there is an Object having no more concrete type definitions available. Servers should avoid using this ObjectType and use a more specific type, if possible. This ObjectType is the base ObjectType and all other ObjectTypes shall either directly or indirectly inherit from it. However, it might not be possible for Servers to provide all HasSubtype References from this ObjectType to its subtypes, and therefore it is not required to provide this information.

There are no References except for HasSubtype References specified for this ObjectType. It is formally defined in Table 8.

NOTE Containing Objects and Variables of these Objects and Variables are defined by their BrowseName defined in the corresponding TypeDefinitionNode. The NodeId is defined by the composed symbolic name described in 4.1.

ServerArray defines an array of Server URIs. This Variable is also referred to as the server table. Each URI in this array represents a globally-unique logical name for a Server within the scope of the network in which it is installed. Each OPC UA Server instance has a single URI that is used in the server table of other OPC UA Servers. Index 0 is reserved for the URI of the local Server. Values above 0 are used to identify remote Servers and are specific to a Server. OPC 10000-4 describes discovery mechanism that can be used to resolve URIs into URLs. The Server URI is case sensitive.

The URI of the ServerArray with Index 0 shall be identical to the URI of the NamespaceArray with Index 1, since both represent the local Server.

The indexes into the server table are referred to as server indexes or server names. They are used in OPC UA Services to identify TargetNodes of References that reside in remote Servers. Clients may read the entire table or they may read individual entries in the table. The Server shall not modify or delete entries of this table while any client has an open session to the Server, because clients may cache the server table. A Server may add entries to the server table even if clients are connected to the Server.

NamespaceArray defines an array of namespace URIs. This Variable is also referred as namespace table. The indexes into the namespace table are referred to as NamespaceIndexes. NamespaceIndexes are used in NodeIds in OPC UA Services, rather than the longer namespace URI. Index 0 is reserved for the OPC UA namespace, and index 1 is reserved for the local Server. Clients may read the entire namespace table or they may read individual entries in the namespace table. The Server shall not modify or delete entries of the namespace table while any client has an open session to the Server, because clients may cache the namespace table. A Server may add entries to the namespace table even if clients are connected to the Server. It is recommended that Servers not change the indexes of the namespace table but only add entries, because the client may cache NodeIds using the indexes. Nevertheless, it might not always be possible for Servers to avoid changing indexes in the namespace table. Clients that cache NamespaceIndexes of NodeIds should always check when starting a session to verify that the cached NamespaceIndexes have not changed.

UrisVersion defines the version of the ServerArray and the NamespaceArray. Everytime the ServerArray or the NamespaceArray is changed, the value of the UrisVersion shall be updated to a value greater than the previous value. The UrisVersion Property is used in combination with the SessionlessInvoke Service defined in OPC 10000-4. If a Server supports this Service, the Server shall support this Property. It is the responsibility of the Server to provide a consistent set of values for the ServerArray, NamespaceArray and the UrisVersion Properties. The VersionTime DataType is defined in OPC 10000-4.

ServerStatus contains elements that describe the status of the Server. See 12.10 for a description of its elements.

ServiceLevel describes the ability of the Server to provide its data to the client. The value range is from 0 to 255, where 0 indicates the worst and 255 indicates the best. OPC 10000-4 defines required sub-ranges for different scenarios. The intent is to provide the clients an indication of availability among redundant Servers.

Auditing is a Boolean specifying if the Server is currently generating audit events. It is set to TRUE if the Server generates audit events, otherwise to false. The Profiles defined in OPC 10000-7 specify what kind of audit events are generated by the Server.

EstimatedReturnTime indicates the time at which the Server is expected to have a ServerStatus.State of RUNNING_0. A Client that observes a shutdown or a ServiceLevel of 0 should either wait until after this time to attempt to reconnect to this Server or enter into slow retry logic. For example, most Clients will attempt to reconnect after a failure immediately and then progressively increase the delay between attempts until some maximum delay. This time can be used to trigger the Client to start its reconnect logic with some delay.

LocalTime is a structure containing the Offset and the DaylightSavingInOffset flag. The Offset specifies the time difference (in minutes) between the Server time in UTC and the local time at the Server location. If DaylightSavingInOffset is TRUE, then Standard/Daylight savings time (DST) at the Server location is in effect and Offset includes the DST correction. If FALSE then the Offset does not include DST correction and DST may or may not be in effect.

ServerCapabilities defines the capabilities supported by the OPC UA Server. See 6.3.2 for its description.

ServerDiagnostics defines diagnostic information about the OPC UA Server. See 6.3.3 for its description.

VendorServerInfo represents the browse entry point for vendor-defined Server information. This Object is required to be present even if there are no vendor-defined Objects beneath it. See 6.3.6 for its description.

ServerRedundancy describes the redundancy capabilities provided by the Server. This Object is required even if the Server does not provide any redundancy support. If the Server supports redundancy, then a subtype of ServerRedundancyType is used to describe its capabilities. Otherwise, it provides an Object of type ServerRedundancyType with the Property RedundancySupport set to none. See 6.3.7 for the description of ServerRedundancyType.

Namespaces provides a list of NamespaceMetadataType Objects with additional information about the namespaces used in the Server. See 6.3.14 for the description of NamespaceMetadataType.

The GetMonitoredItems Method is used to identify the MonitoredItems of a Subscription. It is defined in 9.1; the intended usage is defined in OPC 10000-4.

The ResendData Method is used to get the latest values of the data monitored items of a Subscription. It is defined in 9.2; the intended usage is defined in OPC 10000-4.

The SetSubscriptionDurable Method is used to set a Subscription into a mode where MonitoredItem data and event queues are stored and delivered even if an OPC UA Client was disconnected for a longer time or the OPC UA Server was restarted. It is defined in 9.3; the intended usage is defined in OPC 10000-4.

The RequestServerStateChange Method allows a Client to request a state change in the Server. It is defined in 9.4; the intended usage is defined in OPC 10000-4.

This ObjectType defines the capabilities supported by the OPC UA Server. It is formally defined in Table 10.

ServerProfileArray lists the Profiles that the Server supports. See OPC 10000-7 for the definitions of Server Profiles. This list should be limited to the Profiles the Server supports in its current configuration.

LocaleIdArray is an array of LocaleIds that are known to be supported by the Server. The Server might not be aware of all LocaleIds that it supports because it may provide access to underlying servers, systems or devices that do not report the LocaleIds that they support.

MinSupportedSampleRate defines the minimum supported sample rate, including 0, which is supported by the Server.

MaxBrowseContinuationPoints is an integer specifying the maximum number of parallel continuation points of the Browse Service that the Server can support per session. The value specifies the maximum the Server can support under normal circumstances, so there is no guarantee the Server can always support the maximum. The client should not open more Browse calls with open continuation points than exposed in this Variable. The value 0 indicates that the Server does not restrict the number of parallel continuation points the client should use.

MaxQueryContinuationPoints is an integer specifying the maximum number of parallel continuation points of the QueryFirst Services that the Server can support per session. The value specifies the maximum the Server can support under normal circumstances, so there is no guarantee the Server can always support the maximum. The client should not open more QueryFirst calls with open continuation points than exposed in this Variable. The value 0 indicates that the Server does not restrict the number of parallel continuation points the client should use.

MaxHistoryContinuationPoints is an integer specifying the maximum number of parallel continuation points of the HistoryRead Services that the Server can support per session. The value specifies the maximum the Server can support under normal circumstances, so there is no guarantee the Server can always support the maximum. The client should not open more HistoryRead calls with open continuation points than exposed in this Variable. The value 0 indicates that the Server does not restrict the number of parallel continuation points the client should use.

SoftwareCertificates is an array of SignedSoftwareCertificates containing all SoftwareCertificates supported by the Server. A SoftwareCertificate identifies capabilities of the Server. It contains the list of Profiles supported by the Server. Profiles are described in OPC 10000-7.

The MaxArrayLength Property indicates the maximum length of a one or multidimensional array supported by Variables of the Server. In a multidimensional array it indicates the overall length. For example, a three-dimensional array of 2x3x10 has the array length of 60. The Server might further restrict the length for individual Variables without notice to the client. Servers may use the Property MaxArrayLength defined in OPC 10000-3 on individual DataVariables to specify the size on individual values. The individual Property may have a larger or smaller value than MaxArrayLength.

The MaxStringLength Property indicates the maximum number of bytes in Strings supported by Variables of the Server. Servers may override this setting by adding the MaxStringLength Property defined in OPC 10000-3 to an individual DataVariable. If a Server does not impose a maximum number of bytes or is not able to determine the maximum number of bytes this Property shall not be provided.

The MaxByteStringLength Property indicates the maximum number of bytes in a ByteString supported by Variables of the Server. It also specifies the   default maximum size of a FileType Object’s read and write buffers. Servers may override this setting by adding the MaxByteStringLength Property defined in OPC 10000-3 to an individual DataVariable or FileType Object. If a Server does not impose a maximum number of bytes or is not able to determine the maximum number of bytes this Property shall not be provided.

OperationLimits is an entry point to access information on operation limits of the Server, for example the maximum length of an array in a read Service call.

ModellingRules is an entry point to browse to all ModellingRules supported by the Server. All ModellingRules supported by the Server should be able to be browsed starting from this Object.

AggregateFunctions is an entry point to browse to all AggregateFunctions supported by the Server. All AggregateFunctions supported by the Server should be able to be browsed starting from this Object. AggregateFunctions are Objects of AggregateFunctionType.

The RoleSet Object is used to publish all Roles supported by the Server. The RoleSetType is specified in F.2

When vendors expose their own capabilities they should add additional Nodes to the standard ServerCapabilities Object instance.

This ObjectType defines diagnostic information about the OPC UA Server. This ObjectType is formally defined in Table 11.

ServerDiagnosticsSummary contains diagnostic summary information for the Server, as defined in 12.9.

SamplingIntervalDiagnosticsArray is an array of diagnostic information per sampling rate as defined in 12.8. There is one entry for each sampling rate currently used by the Server. Its TypeDefinitionNode is the VariableType SamplingIntervalDiagnosticsArrayType, providing a Variable for each entry in the array, as defined in 7.9.

The sampling interval diagnostics are only collected by Servers which use a fixed set of sampling intervals. In these cases, length of the array and the set of contained Variables will be determined by the Server configuration and the NodeId assigned to a given sampling interval diagnostics variable shall not change as long as the Server configuration does not change. A Server may not expose the SamplingIntervalDiagnosticsArray if it does not use fixed sampling rates.

SubscriptionDiagnosticsArray is an array of Subscription diagnostic information per subscription, as defined in 12.15. There is one entry for each Notification channel actually established in the Server. Its TypeDefinitionNode is the VariableType SubscriptionDiagnosticsArrayType, providing a Variable for each entry in the array as defined in 7.11. Those Variables are also used as Variables referenced by other Variables.

SessionsDiagnosticsSummary contains diagnostic information per session, as defined in 6.3.4.

EnabledFlag identifies whether or not diagnostic information is collected by the Server. It can also be used by a client to enable or disable the collection of diagnostic information of the Server. The following settings of the Boolean value apply: TRUE indicates that the Server collects diagnostic information, and setting the value to TRUE leads to resetting and enabling the collection. FALSE indicates that no diagnostic information is collected, and setting the value to FALSE disables the collection without resetting the diagnostic values.

When diagnostics are turned off, the Server can return Bad_NodeIdUnknown for all static diagnostic Nodes except the EnabledFlag Property. Dynamic diagnostic Nodes (such as the Session Nodes) will not appear in the AddressSpace.

If collection of diagnostic information is not supported at all, the EnabledFlag Property will be read only.

This ObjectType defines diagnostic information about the sessions of the OPC UA Server. This ObjectType is formally defined in Table 12.

SessionDiagnosticsArray provides an array with an entry for each session in the Server having general diagnostic information about a session.

SessionSecurityDiagnosticsArray provides an array with an entry for each active session in the Server having security-related diagnostic information about a session. Since this information is security-related, it should not be made accessible to all users, but only to authorised users.

For each session of the Server, this Object also provides an Object representing the session, indicated by <ClientName>. The BrowseName could be derived from the sessionName defined in the CreateSession Service (OPC 10000-4) or some other server-specific mechanisms. It is of the ObjectType SessionDiagnosticsObjectType, as defined in 6.3.5.

This ObjectType defines diagnostic information about a session of the OPC UA Server. This ObjectType is formally defined in Table 13.

SessionDiagnostics contains general diagnostic information about the session; the SessionSecurityDiagnostics Variable contains security-related diagnostic information. Because the information of the second Variable is security-related, it should not be made accessible to all users, but only to authorised users.

SubscriptionDiagnosticsArray is an array of Subscription diagnostic information per opened subscription, as defined in 12.15. Its TypeDefinitionNode is the VariableType SubscriptionDiagnosticsArrayType providing a Variable for each entry in the array, as defined in 7.11.

This ObjectType defines a placeholder Object for vendor-specific information about the OPC UA Server. This ObjectType defines an empty ObjectType that has no components. It shall be subtyped by vendors to define their vendor-specific information. This ObjectType is formally defined in Table 14.

RedundancySupport indicates what redundancy is supported by the Server. Its values are defined in 12.5. It shall be set to NONE_0 for all instances of the ServerRedundancyType using the ObjectType directly (no subtype).

This ObjectType is a subtype of ServerRedundancyType and is used to identify the capabilities of the OPC UA Server for server-controlled redundancy with a transparent switchover for the client. It is formally defined in Table 16.

HasProperty	Variable		RedundantServerArray	RedundantServerDataType[]	PropertyType	Mandatory

RedundancySupport is inherited from the ServerRedundancyType. It shall be set to TRANSPARENT_4 for all instances of the TransparentRedundancyType.

Although, in a transparent switchover scenario, all redundant Servers serve under the same URI to the Client, it may be required to track the exact data source on the Client. Therefore, CurrentServerId contains an identifier of the currently-used Server in the Redundant Set. This Server is valid only inside a Session; if a Client opens several Sessions, different Servers of the redundant set of Servers may serve it in different Sessions. The value of the CurrentServerId may change due to Failover or load balancing, so a Client that needs to track its data source shall subscribe to this Variable.

As diagnostic information, the RedundantServerArray contains an array of available Servers in the Redundant Set; including their service levels (see 12.7). This array may change during a Session.

This ObjectType is a subtype of ServerRedundancyType and is used to identify the capabilities of the OPC UA Server for non-transparent redundancy. It is formally defined in Table 17.

HasProperty	Variable	ServerUriArray	String[]	PropertyType	Mandatory
HasSubtype	ObjectType	NonTransparentNetworkRedundancyType	Defined in 6.3.10

ServerUriArray is an array with the URI of all redundant Servers of the OPC UA Server. See OPC 10000-4 for the definition of redundancy in this standard. In a non-transparent redundancy environment, the Client is responsible to subscribe to the redundant Servers. Therefore the Client might open a session to one or more redundant Servers of this array. The ServerUriArray shall contain the local Server.

RedundancySupport is inherited from the ServerRedundancyType. It shall be set to COLD_1, WARM_2, HOT_3 or HOT_AND_MIRRORED_5 for all instances of the NonTransparentRedundancyType. It defines the redundancy support provided by the Server. Its intended use is defined in OPC 10000-4.

This ObjectType is a subtype of NonTransparentRedundancyType and is used to identify the capabilities of the OPC UA Server for non-transparent network redundancy. It is formally defined in Table 18.

Subtype of the NonTransparentRedundancyType defined in 6.3.9, which means it inherits the InstanceDeclarations of that Node.
HasProperty	Variable		ServerNetworkGroups	NetworkGroupDataType[]	PropertyType	Mandatory

Clients switching between network paths to the same Server behave the same as HotAndMirrored redundancy. Server and network redundancy can be combined. In the combined approach it is important for the Client to know which ServerUris belong to the same Server representing different network paths and which ServerUris represent different Servers. Therefore, a Server implementing non-transparent network redundancy shall use the NonTransparentNetworkRedundancyType to identify its redundancy support.

RedundancySupport is inherited from the ServerRedundancyType. It shall be set to COLD_1, WARM_2, HOT_3 or HOT_AND_MIRRORED_5 for all instances of the NonTransparentNetworkRedundancyType. If no Server redundancy is supported (the ServerUriArray only contains one entry), the RedundancySupport shall be set to HOT_AND_MIRRORED_5.

The ServerNetworkGroups contains an array of NetworkGroupDataType. The URIs of the Servers in that array (in the serverUri of the structure) shall be exactly the same as the ones provided in the ServerUriArray. However, the order might be different. Thus the array represents a list of HotAndMirrored redundant Servers. If a Server only supports network redundancy, it has only one entry in the ServerNetworkGroups. The networkPaths in the structure represents the redundant network paths for each of the Servers. The networkPaths describes the different paths (one entry for each path) ordered by priority. Each network path contains an endpointUrlList having an array of Strings each containing a URL of an Endpoint. This allows using different protocol options for the same network path.

The Endpoints provided shall match with the Endpoints provided by the GetEndpoints Service of the corresponding Server.

The MaxMonitoredItemsPerCall Property indicates

• the maximum size of the itemsToCreate array when a Client calls the CreateMonitoredItems Service,
• the maximum size of the itemsToModify array when a Client calls the ModifyMonitoredItems Service,
• the maximum size of the monitoredItemIds array when a Client calls the SetMonitoringMode Service or the DeleteMonitoredItems Service,
• the maximum size of the sum of the linksToAdd and linksToRemove arrays when a Client calls the SetTriggering Service.

This ObjectType defines the file for a namespace provided by the OPC UA Server. It is formally defined in Table 20. It represents an XML address space file using the XML schema defined in OPC 10000-6.

The ExportNamespace Method provides a way to export the namespace from the Server AddressSpace to the XML file represented by the AddressSpaceFileType. Value Attributes are only exported if they represent static configuration information. The client is expected to call the ExportNamespace Method first to update the XML file and then access the file with the Methods defined in the FileType.

Servers might provide some vendor-specific mechanisms importing parts of an address space as subtype of this ObjectType, for example by defining appropriate Methods.

This ObjectType defines the metadata for a namespace provided by the Server. It is formally defined in Table 21.

Instances of this Object allow Servers to provide more information like version information in addition to the namespace URI. Important information for aggregating Servers is provided by the StaticNodeIdTypes, StaticNumericNodeIdRange and StaticStringNodeIdPattern Properties.

The BrowseName of instances of this type shall be derived from the represented namespace. This can, for example, be done by using the index of the namespace in the NamespaceArray as namespaceIndex of the QualifiedName and the namespace URI as name of the QualifiedName.

The NamespaceUri Property contains the namespace represented by an instance of the MetaDataType.

The NamespaceVersion Property provides version information for the namespace. It is intended for display purposes and shall not be used to programmatically identify the latest version. If there is no formal version defined for the namespace this Property shall be set to a null String.

The NamespacePublicationDate Property provides the publication date of the namespace version. This Property value can be used by Clients to determine the latest version if different versions are provided by different Servers. If there is no formal publication date defined for the namespace this Property shall be set to a null DateTime.

The IsNamespaceSubset Property defines whether all Nodes of the namespace are accessible in the Server or only a subset. It is set to FALSE if the full namespace is provided and TRUE if not. If the completeness is unknown then this Property shall be set to TRUE.

Static Nodes are identical for all Attributes in all Servers, including the Value Attribute. For TypeDefinitionNodes, also the InstanceDeclarations shall be identical. That means that for static Nodes the semantic is always the same. Namespaces with static Nodes are for example namespaces defined by standard bodies like the OPC Foundation. This is important information for aggregating Servers. If the namespace is dynamic and used in several Servers the aggregating Server needs to distinguish the namespace for each aggregated Server. The static Nodes of a namespace only need to be handled once, even if they are used by several aggregated Servers.

The StaticNodeIdTypes Property provides a list of IdTypes used for static Nodes. All Nodes in the AddressSpace of the namespace using one of the IdTypes in the array shall be static Nodes.

The StaticNumericNodeIdRange Property provides a list of NumericRanges used for numeric NodeIds of static Nodes. If the StaticNodeIdTypes Property contains an entry for numeric NodeIds then this Property is ignored.

The StaticStringNodeIdPattern Property provides a regular expression as defined for the Like Operator defined in OPC 10000-4 to filter for string NodeIds of static Nodes. If the StaticNodeIdTypes Property contains an entry for string NodeIds then this Property is ignored.

The Object NamespaceFile contains all Nodes and References of the namespace in an XML file where the Information Model XML Schema is defined in OPC 10000-6. The XML file is provided through an AddressSpaceFileType Object.

The DefaultRolePermissions Property provides the default permissions if a Server supports RolePermissions for the Namespace. A Node in the Namespace overrides this default by adding a RolePermissions Attribute to the Node. If a Server implements a vendor-specific RolePermissions model for a Namespace, it does not add the DefaultRolePermissions Property to the NamespaceMetadata Object.

The DefaultUserRolePermissions Property provides the default user permissions if a Server supports UserRolePermissions for the Namespace. A Node in the Namespace overrides this default by adding a UserRolePermissions Attribute to the Node. If a Server implements a vendor-specific UserRolePermissions model for a Namespace, it does not add the DefaultUserRolePermissions Property to the NamespaceMetadata Object.

The DefaultAccessRestrictions Property is present if a Server supports AccessRestrictions for the Namespace and provides the defaults. A Node in the Namespace overrides this default by adding a AccessRestrictions Attribute to the Node. If a Server implements a vendor-specific AccessRestriction model for a Namespace, it does not add the DefaultAccessRestrictions Property to the NamespaceMetadata Object.

This ObjectType defines a list of NamespaceMetadataType Objects provided by the Server. It is formally defined in Table 22.

Subtype of the BaseObjectType defined in 6.2

The ObjectType contains a list of NamespaceMetadataType Objects representing the namespaces in the Server. The BrowseName of an Object shall be derived from the namespace represented by the Object. This can, for example, be done by using the index of the namespace in the NamespaceArray as namespaceIndex of the QualifiedName and the namespace URI as name of the QualifiedName. Clients should not assume that all namespaces provided by a Server are present in this list as a namespace may not provide the information necessary to fill all mandatory Properties of the NamespaceMetadataType.

This International Standard defines standard EventTypes. They are represented in the AddressSpace as ObjectTypes. The EventTypes are already defined in OPC 10000-3. The following subclauses specify their representation in the AddressSpace.

EventId is generated by the Server to uniquely identify a particular Event Notification. The Server is responsible to ensure that each Event has its unique EventId. It may do this, for example, by putting GUIDs into the ByteString. Clients can use the EventId to assist in minimizing or eliminating gaps and overlaps that may occur during a redundancy failover. The EventId shall always be returned as value and the Server is not allowed to return a StatusCode for the EventId indicating an error.

EventType describes the specific type of Event. The EventType shall always be returned as value and the Server is not allowed to return a StatusCode for the EventType indicating an error.

The SourceNode Property identifies the Node that the Event originated from. If the Event is not specific to a Node the NodeId is set to null. Some subtypes of this BaseEventType may define additional rules for the SourceNode Property.

SourceName provides a description of the source of the Event. This could be the string-part of the DisplayName of the Event source using the default locale of the server, if the Event is specific to a Node, or some server-specific notation.

Time provides the time the Event occurred. This value is set as close to the event generator as possible. It often comes from the underlying system or device. Once set, intermediate OPC UA Servers shall not alter the value.

ReceiveTime provides the time the OPC UA Server received the Event from the underlying device of another Server. ReceiveTime is analogous to ServerTimestamp defined in OPC 10000-4, i.e. in the case where the OPC UA Server gets an Event from another OPC UA Server, each Server applies its own ReceiveTime. That implies that a Client may get the same Event, having the same EventId, from different Servers having different values of the ReceiveTime. The ReceiveTime shall always be returned as value and the Server is not allowed to return a StatusCode for the ReceiveTime indicating an error.

LocalTime is a structure containing the Offset and the DaylightSavingInOffset flag. The Offset specifies the time difference (in minutes) between the Time Property and the time at the location in which the event was issued. If DaylightSavingInOffset is TRUE, then Standard/Daylight savings time (DST) at the originating location is in effect and Offset includes the DST correction. If FALSE then the Offset does not include DST correction and DST may or may not have been in effect.

Message provides a human-readable and localizable text description of the Event. The Server may return any appropriate text to describe the Event. A null string is not a valid value; if the Server does not have a description, it shall return the string part of the BrowseName of the Node associated with the Event.

Severity is an indication of the urgency of the Event. This is also commonly called “priority”. Values will range from 1 to 1 000, with 1 being the lowest severity and 1 000 being the highest. Typically, a severity of 1 would indicate an Event which is informational in nature, while a value of 1 000 would indicate an Event of catastrophic nature, which could potentially result in severe financial loss or loss of life.

It is expected that very few Server implementations will support 1 000 distinct severity levels. Therefore, Server developers are responsible for distributing their severity levels across the 1 to 1 000 range in such a manner that clients can assume a linear distribution. For example, a client wishing to present five severity levels to a user should be able to do the following mapping:

Client Severity	OPC Severity
HIGH	801 – 1 000
MEDIUM HIGH	601 – 800
MEDIUM	401 – 600
MEDIUM LOW	201 – 400
LOW	1 – 200

In many cases a strict linear mapping of underlying source severities to the OPC Severity range is not appropriate. The Server developer will instead intelligently map the underlying source severities to the 1 to 1 000 OPC Severity range in some other fashion. In particular, it is recommended that Server developers map Events of high urgency into the OPC severity range of 667 to 1 000, Events of medium urgency into the OPC severity range of 334 to 666 and Events of low urgency into OPC severities of 1 to 333.

For example, if a source supports 16 severity levels that are clustered such that severities 0 to 2 are considered to be LOW, 3 to 7 are MEDIUM and 8 to 15 are HIGH, then an appropriate mapping might be as follows:

OPC Range	Source Severity	OPC Severity
HIGH (667 – 1 000)	15	1 000
	14	955
	13	910
	12	865
	11	820
	10	775
	9	730
	8	685
MEDIUM (334 – 666)	7	650
	6	575
	5	500
	4	425
	3	350
LOW (1 – 333)	2	300
	1	150
	0	1

Some Servers might not support any Events which are catastrophic in nature, so they may choose to map all of their severities into a subset of the 1 to 1 000 range (for example, 1 to 666). Other Servers might not support any Events which are merely informational, so they may choose to map all of their severities into a different subset of the 1 to 1 000 range (for example, 334 to 1 000).

The purpose of this approach is to allow clients to use severity values from multiple Servers from different vendors in a consistent manner. Additional discussions of severity can be found in OPC 10000-9.

This EventType inherits all Properties of the BaseEventType. Their semantic is defined in 6.4.2.

ActionTimeStamp identifies the time the user initiated the action that resulted in the AuditEvent being generated. It differs from the Time Property because this is the time the server generated the AuditEvent documenting the action.

Status identifies whether the requested action could be performed (set Status to TRUE) or not (set Status to FALSE).

ServerId uniquely identifies the Server generating the Event. It identifies the Server uniquely even in a server-controlled transparent redundancy scenario where several Servers may use the same URI.

ClientAuditEntryId contains the human-readable AuditEntryId defined in OPC 10000-3.

The ClientUserId identifies the user of the client requesting an action. The ClientUserId can be obtained from the UserIdentityToken passed in the ActivateSession call. If the UserIdentityToken is a UserNameIdentityToken then the ClientUserId is the UserName. If the UserIdentityToken is an X509IdentityToken then the ClientUserId is the X509 Subject Name of the Certificate. If the UserIdentityToken is an IssuedIdentityToken then the ClientUserId shall be a string that represents the owner of the token. The best choice for the string depends on the type of IssuedIdentityToken. If an AnonymousIdentityToken was used, the value is null.
