This deployment option describes that a cutting tool client application is running only in an external IT system. The higher-level system client application uses the job management to facilitate the job management use case described in OPC 40001-3. It stores and retrieves the files representing the work masters to the tool manufacturing machine and measuring machine using the CuttingToolFileType as a work master. Therefore, it is necessary to listen to state changes of the 6:ISA95JobResponseProviderObjectType of either machine to synchronize the jobs being carried out.
The system architecture is shown schematically in Figure 9.
