The ToolManufacturingMachineType represents the tool manufacturing machine interface of the information model. It is the entry point to the OPC UA interface of a tool manufacturing machine. It gives a basic structure to the interface. An instance of this type aggregates all information related to one system.
All instances of ToolManufacturingMachineType have to be referenced from the 3:Machines node defined in OPC 40001-1. At least one ToolManufacturingMachineType instance shall be present to qualify for any manufacturing machine profile of OPC 40504.
The ToolManufacturingMachineType and is formally defined in Table 15.

The 0:FileSystem is the root of all file directories of the OPC UA and the underlying machine.
Note: While a direct coupling is not essential, aligning the file paths in both OPC UA 0:FileSystem and actual file systems is recommended (e.g. "/Directory1/FileA" in Unix and "ns=1;i=1001 Directory1/FileA" in OPC UA BrowsePath). Harmonizing OPC UA 0:FileSystem with actual file systems is advised for a more intuitive and efficient work environment.
