The ConfirmationStateMachineType is used to prove a valid Client – Server connection after a restart of the OPC UA Server. This supports the confirmation option of 8.3.4.9.
If several instances of this state machine are provided on a device (due to several instances of the SoftwareUpdateType), all instances should behave as if it is only a single instance. In particular it is sufficient to call one of the confirm methods after reboot.
The ConfirmationStateMachineType is illustrated in Figure 52 and Figure 53 and formally defined in Table 98. The transitions are formally defined in Table 100.
