The GlassMachineType provides the information of the machine and is formally defined in Table 12. A Machine or system can contain other subsystems (e.g. other machines or devices). Such a complex system can be modelled with the component structure from OPC UA Machinery (see OPC 40001-1section 11).

This GlassMachine object can be further divided into subtypes using the modular device structure from OPC UA for Machinery.

Identification contains the information to identify the glass machine. For more information see GlassMachineIdentificationType and OPC 40001-1(MachineIdentificationType).

MaintenanceManuals contains the manuals or the references to the manuals for the maintenance process.

OperationManuals contains the manuals or the references to the manuals for the operation process.

Production contains the information and methods that relate to the production. This includes the states of the current jobs and methods for insert, remove, release, suspend a job.

Components contains components or submachines of the glass machine.

ConfigurationRules contains the properties that describe the machine configuration.
