4 Aggregate Information Model

4.2 Aggregate Objects

4.2.2 AggregateFunction Object

4.2.2.1 General 
This Object is used as the browse entry point for information about the Aggregates supported by a Server. The content of this Object is already defined by its type definition. All Instances of the FolderType use the standard BrowseName of ‘AggregateFunctions’. The HasComponent Reference is used to relate a ServerCapabilities Object and/or any HistoricalServerCapabilities Object to an AggregateFunction Object. AggregateFunctions is formally defined in Table 3.

FolderType | Defined in OPC 10000-5 |
Each ServerCapabilities and HistoricalServerCapabilities Object shall reference an AggregateFunction Object. In addition, each HistoricalConfiguration Object belonging to a HistoricalDataNode may reference an AggregateFunction Object using the HasComponent Reference.
4.2.2.2 AggregateFunctionType

This ObjectType defines an Aggregate supported by a UA Server. This Object is formally defined in Table 4.

Subtype of the BaseObjectType defined in OPC 10000-5 |
For the AggregateFunctionType, the Description Attribute (inherited from the Base NodeClass), is mandatory. The Description Attribute provides a localized description of the Aggregate.
Table 5 specifies the BrowseName and Description Attributes for the standard Aggregate Objects. The description is the localized “en” text. For other locales it shall be translated.

Range2 | Retrieve the difference between the Minimum2 and Maximum2 value over the interval. |
Count | Retrieve the number of raw values over the interval. |
DurationInStateZero | Retrieve the time a Boolean or numeric was in a zero state using Simple Bounding Values. |
DurationInStateNonZero | Retrieve the time a Boolean or numeric was in a non-zero state using Simple Bounding Values. |
NumberOfTransitions | Retrieve the number of changes between zero and non-zero that a Boolean or numeric value experienced in the interval. |
Start | Retrieve the value at the beginning of the interval. |
End | Retrieve the value at the end of the interval. |

DurationGood | Retrieve the total duration of time in the interval during which the data is Good. |
DurationBad | Retrieve the total duration of time in the interval during which the data is Bad. |
PercentGood | Retrieve the percentage of data (0 to 100) in the interval which has Good StatusCode. |
PercentBad | Retrieve the percentage of data (0 to 100) in the interval which has Bad StatusCode. |
WorstQuality | Retrieve the worst StatusCode of data in the interval. |
WorstQuality2 | Retrieve the worst StatusCode of data in the interval including the Simple Bounding Values. |
AnnotationCount | Retrieve the number of Annotations in the interval (applies to Historical Aggregates only). |
StandardDeviationSample | Retrieve the standard deviation for the interval for a sample of the population (n-1). |
VarianceSample | Retrieve the variance for the interval as calculated by the StandardDeviationSample. |
StandardDeviation Population | Retrieve the standard deviation for the interval for a complete population (n) which includes Simple Bounding Values. |
