The ConsumptionDataMonitoringType provides information about the external media consumption (e.g., power consumption, compressed air, cooling water). This enables the identification of the consumables the laser system is equipped with.

The ConsumptionDataMonitoringType is formally defined in Table 27.

LaserSystems ConsumptionDataMonitoringType Basic

The 4:Name is a human-readable string containing the name of the monitored media consumption parameter. The uniqueness of this name cannot be assumed based on this information. The value of this Property might change during its life cycle. Examples are: “power consumption”, “compressed air”, “cooling water”.

ConsumableIdentifier is a unique string identifier for a media consumption parameter. The mandatory Identifier is to be used to provide a unique ID. The value of this Property does not change during its life cycle.

The Value Component represents the current value of the monitored media consumption parameter. The Value is mandatory and given as number. The value should be updated frequently to match the represented current circumstances of the monitored media consumption parameter. Examples are: “2000”, “0.4563”, “-11”

The optional Description Component represents a human-readable description of the monitored media consumption parameter.
