Errata exists for this version of the document.
The following sections describe Profiles in a tabular format.
Each table contains three columns. The first column is a description of the conformance group that the ConformanceUnit is part of. This allows the reader to easily find the ConformanceUnit. This column may also state “Profile” in which case the listed item is not a ConformanceUnit, but an included P rofile. The second column is a brief description of the ConformanceUnit or included Profile. The last column indicates if the ConformanceUnit is optional or required.
Table 24 describes the details of the Core Server Facet. This Facet defines the core functionality required for any UA Server implementation. The core functionality includes the ability to discover endpoints, establish secure communication channels, create Sessions, browse the AddressSpace and read and/or write to Attributes of Nodes. The key requirements are: support for a single Session, support for the Server and Server Capabilities Object, all mandatory Attributes for Nodes in the AddressSpace, and authentication with UserName and Password. This Facet has been extended with additional Base Information ConformanceUnits. They are optional to provide backward compatibility. In the future the ConformanceUnit “Base Info Server Capabilities” will become required, and so it is highly recommended that all Servers support it. For broad applicability, it is recommended that Servers support multiple transport and security Profiles.

Table 27 describes the details of the Reverse Connect Server Facet. This Facet defines support of reverse connectivity in a Server. Usually, a connection is opened by the Client before starting the UA-specific handshake. This will fail, however, when Servers are behind firewalls with no open ports to connect to. In the reverse connectivity scenario, the Server opens the connection and starts with a ReverseHello message requesting that the Client establish a Secure Channel using this connection.

Table 46 describes the details of the Standard Event Subscription Server Facet. This Facet specifies the standard support for subscribing to events and is intended to supplement any of the FullFeatured Profiles. Support of this Facet requires the implementation of Event Types representing the Events that the Server can report and their specific fields. It also requires at least the Server Object to have the EventNotifier Attribute set. It includes the Services to Create, Modify and Delete Subscriptions and to Add, Modify and Remove Monitored Items for Object Nodes with an “EventNotifier Attribute”. Creating a monitoring item may include a filter that includes SimpleAttribute FilterOperands and a select list of Operators. The operators include: Equals, IsNull, GreaterThan, LessThan, GreaterThanOrEqual, LessThanOrEqual, Like, Not, Between, InList, And, Or, Cast, BitwiseAnd, BitwiseOr and TypeOf. Support of more complex filters is optional. This Facet has been updated to include several optional Base Information ConformanceUnits. These ConformanceUnits are optional to allow for backward compatibility, in the future these optional ConformanceUnits will become required, and so it is highly recommended that all servers support them.

Table 57 describes the details of the A & C Previous Instances Server Facet. This Facet requires support for Conditions with previous states that still require action on the part of the operator. This Facet builds upon the A&C Base Condition Server Facet. A common use case for this Facet is a safety critical system that requires that all Alarms be acknowledged even if it the original problem goes away and the Alarm returns to the inactive state. In these cases, the previous state with active Alarm is still reported by the Server until the Operator acknowledges it. When a Condition has previous states it will produce events with different Branch identifiers. When previous state no longer needs attention the branch will disappear.

They are typically used when a Server has entered some state that requires intervention by a Client. For example, a Server monitoring a paper machine indicates that a roll of paper has been wound and is ready for inspection. The Server would activate a Dialog Condition indicating to the user that an inspection is required. Once the inspection has taken place the user responds by informing the Server of an accepted or unaccepted inspection allowing the process to continue.

Table 60 describes the details of the A & E Wrapper Facet. This Facet specifies the requirements for a UA Server that wraps an OPC Alarm & Event (AE) Server (COM). This Profile identifies the sub-set of the UA Alarm & Condition model which is provided by the COM OPC AE specification. It is intended to provide guidance to developers who are creating servers that front end existing applications. It is important to note that some OPC A&E COM Servers may not support all of the functionality provided by an OPC UA A&C server, in these cases similar functionality maybe available via some non-OPC interface. For example if an A&E COM server does not support sending Alarm Acknowledgement messages to the system that it is obtaining alarm information from, this functionality may be available via some out of scope features in the underlying Alarm system. Another possibility is that the underlying system does not require acknowledgements or automatically acknowledges the alarm.

Table 61 describes the details of the Method Server Facet. This Facet specifies the support of Method invocation via the Call service. Methods are “lightweight” functions which are similar to the methods of a class found in any object-oriented programming language. A Method can have its scope bounded by an owning Object or an owning ObjectType. Methods with an ObjectType as their scope are similar to static methods in a class.

Table 62 describes the details of the Auditing Server Facet. This Facet requires the support of Auditing which includes the Standard Event Subscription Server Facet. Support of this Facet requires that Audit Events be produced when a client performs some action to change the state of the server, such as changing the AddressSpace, inserting or updating a value etc. The auditEntryId passed by the Client is a field contained in every Audit Event and allows actions to be traced across multiple systems. The Audit Event Types and their fields must be exposed in the Server’s AddressSpace

Table 68 describes the details of the Redundancy Transparent Server Facet. This Facet requires support for transparent redundancy. If Servers implement transparent redundancy then the failover from one Server to another is transparent to the Client such that the Client is unaware that a failover has occurred; the Client does not need to do anything at all to keep data flowing. This type of redundancy is usually a hardware solution.

Table 69 describes the details of the Redundancy Visible Server Facet. This Facet specifies the support for non-transparent redundancy. Failover for this type of redundancy requires the Client to monitor Server status and to switch to a backup Server if it detects a failure. The Server shall expose the methods of failover it supports (cold, warm or hot). The failover method tells the Client what it must do when connecting to a Server and when a failure occurs. Cold redundancy requires a Client to reconnect to a backup Server after the initial Server has failed. Warm redundancy allows a Client to connect to multiple Servers, but only one Server will be providing values. In hot redundancy multiple Servers are able to provide data and a Client can connect to multiple Servers for the data.
