This chapter introduces the "OPC UA Information Model for Glass technology – flat glass".

This Information Model provides the necessary ObjectTypes to model a glass machine interface in a structure as illustrated in Figure 9 There are ObjectTypes that are used to identify the machine (GlassMachineIdentificationType), to manage the production (Production Type) on the machine and to get the manuals for operation or maintenance (ManualsFolderType).

Figure 9 – Instance Example for "OPC UA Information model for Glass Machines"

The ObjectType hierarchy of this Companion Specification is shown within Figure 10 to Figure 12. Objects from external specifications are positioned within greyish-green boxes.

Figure 10 shows the inheritance relations of the GlassMachineType and all direct children. In this picture the optional components are shown with a dashed line.
