8.2.2 Server Facets

8.2.2.1 Overview

The following sections specify the Facets available for Servers that implement the I4AAS companion specification. Each section defines and describes a Facet or Profile.

8.2.2.2 I4AAS BaseFunction Server Server Facet

Table 85 defines a Facet that describes the basic Server functionality necessary for the I4AAS companion specification.

An AAS is a standardized digital representation of the asset, corner stone of the interoperability between the applications managing the manufacturing systems. It identifies the Administration Shell and the assets represented by it, holds digital models of various aspects (submodels) and describes technical functionality exposed by the Administration Shell or respective assets.
