It is used to report measurement values of the joining operation. Those are meant to characterize the quality of the process. It is used in JoiningResultDataType and StepResultDataType. The structure is defined in Table 197.

ResultValueDataType

structure

Subtype of the 0:Structure defined in OPC 10000-5.

MeasuredValue

0:Double

It is the measured value of the given result. The value corresponds to the PhysicalQuantity attribute of JoiningDataVariableType in the following section 9.1.

False

Name

0:String

It is a user readable name of the given measurement value.

True

ResultEvaluation

5:ResultEvaluationEnum

It indicates whether the measured value is as per the configured limits and corresponds to a successful result or not.

True

ValueId

0:TrimmedString

It is the identifier of the given value if it is available in the system.

True

ValueTag

0:Int16

It is an associated tag to the given measurement value to classify it based on the joining domain. Examples: FINAL, YIELD, SNUG, etc. It has the following pre-defined values which shall be used for each instance of this type.

  • < 0 – application specific extensions.
  • 0 – UNDEFINED
  • 1 – FINAL indicates the final reported measurement value.
  • 2 – TORSION indicates the twisting of the joining system when applying the tightening torque. When a bolt is tightened, it is subjected to tensile stress as preload is introduced but also to torsion stress because of thread friction.
  • 3 – SNUG or SEATING is the reported point where screw head touches the surface and all parts have mated.
  • 4 – YIELD is the yield point is the reported point on a stress-strain curve that indicates the limit of elastic behaviour and the beginning of plastic behaviour.
  • 5 – EXIT indicates a transition value between two steps in a multi-step program.
  • 6 – TRACE_START is the point that represents the offset from the start of the step to the FIRST reported trace value when a given trace is not beginning at the start of the step.
  • 7 – TRACE_END is the point that represents the offset from the start of the step to the LAST reported trace value when a given trace is not beginning at the start of the step.
  • 8 – MAX represents the maximum value of the given measurement.
  • 9 – MIN represents the minimum value of the given measurement.
  • 10 – TOOL_ANGLE_MOVEMENT represents the angle that handheld tool has moved until reaching the FINAL point, as registered by the internal GYRO.

Note: Additional explanations and pictures describing of some of the ValugTag values are provided in Annex C.

True

TracePointIndex

0:Int32

It is the index to the trace sample array from which corresponds to this specific result.

True

TracePointTimeOffset

0:Duration

It is the time offset to point out the absolute time point in the array of trace samples. This may or may not match with an element in the TraceContent array. If it is not available in the TraceContent array, the value can be visualized in the trace graph via interpolation or some other plotting mechanisms.

True

ParameterIdList

0:TrimmedString[]

It is an array of parameter identifiers configured in the Program which is being monitored or sampled.

Note: In most common cases, it can be a single identifier.

True

ViolationType

0:Byte

Indicates whether the measured value is above or below the configured limit. It is only relevant if program or step configuration is violated. It has the following pre-defined values which shall be used for each instance of this type.

  • 0 – UNDEFINED
  • 1 – ABOVE_LIMIT indicates that the measured value is above the configured limit.
  • 2 – BELOW_LIMIT indicates that the measured value is below the configured limit.
  • 3 – NOT_DECIDABLE indicates that the decision is not possible or applicable.

True

ViolationConsequence

0:Byte

It provides information on the consequence occurred due to the violation of the configurable limits. Examples: Step Transition, Abort Joining Operation. Is the consequence repairable or not, etc. It has the following pre-defined values which shall be used for each instance of this type.

  • 0 – UNDEFINED
  • 1 – ABORT
  • 2 – NORMAL_STEP_TRANSITION
  • 3 – REPAIR_STEP_TRANSITION
  • 4 – WARNING

True

SensorId

0:TrimmedString

It is the system-wide unique identifier of the sensor which has reported the value.

True

LowLimit

0:Double

It provides the lower limit of the measured value as per the program.

True

HighLimit

0:Double

It provides the upper limit of the measured value as per the program.

True

TargetValue

0:Double

It provides the target value of the specific measurement in the program step.

True

ResultStep

0:String

It provides the step number or name of the program step which has generated the result.

Note: This is not applicable for StepResultValues in StepResultDataType. This is added for OverallResultValues in JoiningResultDataType to get the information of the step which has reported the specific value.

True

PhysicalQuantity

0:Byte

It is to determine the type of the physical quantity associated to a given value(s). Refer section 9.1 for the pre-defined values.

True

EngineeringUnits

0:EUInformation

It is the engineering unit of the measured value.

True

Its representation in the AddressSpace is defined in Table 198.
