The AddComment Method is used to apply a comment to a specific state of a Condition instance. Normally, the NodeId of the Object instance is passed as the ObjectId to the Call Service. However, some Servers do not expose Condition instances in the AddressSpace. Therefore, all Servers shall also allow Clients to call the AddComment Method by specifying ConditionId as the ObjectId. The Method cannot be called with an ObjectId of the ConditionType Node.

Comments
Comments are added to Event occurrences identified via an EventId. EventIds where the related EventType is not a ConditionType (or subtype of it) and thus does not support Comments are rejected.
A ConditionEvent – where the Comment Variable contains this text – will be sent for the identified state. If a comment is added to a previous state (i.e. a state for which the Server has created a branch), the BranchId and all Condition values of this branch will be reported.
Table 17 specifies the AddressSpace representation for the AddComment Method.
