This structure provides the joint information. Joint is the physical outcome of the joining operation which determines the properties of the point where multiple parts are assembled. Refer Annex H for examples.
The structure is defined in Table 221.

structure |
Subtype of the 0:Structure defined in OPC 10000-5. |
|
|
JointId |
0:TrimmedString |
It is the identifier of the joint. |
False |
|
JointOriginId |
0:TrimmedString |
It is an identifier to track the changes made to the original instance in the system.
Example: It can point to the identifier of the object when it was created for the first time. It should be an existing ID in the system if it is available else it can be NULL if it is not tracked in a joining system. |
True |
|
JointDesignId |
0:TrimmedString |
It is the identifier of the associated joint design. |
True |
|
CreationTime |
0:UtcTime |
It is the time when the joint was created. |
True |
|
LastUpdatedTime |
0:UtcTime |
It is the time when the joint was updated last time. If it is not available, it can be same as CreationTime. |
True |
|
Name |
