The descriptions for the EnumStrings values corresponding to Type is given below:

• OTHER
• SUPERVISORY_CONTROLLER is a controller which is not executing the process or moving actuators. It manages other controllers and may be a node or hub to other controllers.
• PLC is a Programmable Logic Controller which is executing sequence operations. Examples would be part handling, providing fasteners, managing bit strokes.
• COMPUTER is an information processing unit such as PC.
• JOINING_PROCESS_CONTROLLER is controller which is handling the joining process. It performs the joining and publishes its results.
• COMMUNICATION_CONTROLLER is a controller which is mainly in charge of handling communications.
• FEEDING_CONTROLLER is a controller which performs the fastener flow and is providing the fastening elements.
