DI Client DeviceSet | Uses the DeviceSet Object to detect available Devices. | M |
DI Client Nameplate | Consumes Properties of the VendorNameplate Interface defined in 5.5.2. | O |
DI Client Software Component | Consumes Objects of SoftwareType or a subtype. | O |
DI Client DeviceHealth | Uses the DeviceHealth Property defined in 5.5.3. | O |
DI Client DeviceSupportInfo | Uses available additional data for Devices as defined in 5.5.5. | O |
Table 73 defines a Facet for the identification FunctionalGroup of Devices. This includes the option of identifying the Protocol(s).
Table 73 – DeviceIdentification_Client_Facet definition
Conformance Unit | Description | Optional/ Mandatory |
