Table 45 describes the details of the ComplexType 2017 Server Facet. This Facet extends the Core Server Facet to include Variables with structured data, i.e. data that are composed of multiple elements such as a structure and where the individual elements are exposed as component variables. Support of this Facet requires the implementation of structured DataTypes and Variables that make use of these DataTypes. The Read, Write and Subscriptions service set shall support the encoding and decoding of these structured DataTypes. As an option the Server can also support alternate encodings, such as an XML encoding when the binary protocol is currently used and vice-versa.
