Table 51 details the generic properties for the MDISValveObjectType. Any vendor specified properties that have been implemented within a project should be documented within a similar format and supplied to the DCS vendor. The addition of vendor specific properties will result in a subtype of the MDISValveObjectType. When an MDISValveObjectType Instance is disabled the MDISBaseObjectType defaults are followed and only the OpenTimeDuration and CloseTimeDuration values will be available.

MDIS Valve Base |

The following items describe status information from the valve:
- SignatureRequestStatus – The collection of data required for a valve signature may take some time after the completion of a Move command. The SignatureRequestStatus Variable indicates the status of the current signature request (see 8.1.4 for a description of the possible enumerations).
- LastCommand – The enumeration reflects the last command sent to the equipment by the SPCS (see 8.1.5 for a description of the possible enumerations).
- Enabled – This Boolean reflects if the valve is available for control. The behaviour follows the MDISBaseObjectType.
- Position – This enumeration provides information about the current position of the valve (see section 8.1.7 for additional details).
- CommandRejected – A flag that, if set to True, indicates that the valve has rejected the last command issued to it. The command could be rejected for a number of reasons. Possible reasons for rejecting a command include:
- Loss of subsea communication reported by the SPCS.
- An active interlock.
- The valve is in the disabled state.
For any of the following Variables, if they are true, there shall be at least one instance of an InterlockVariableType that describes the active interlock.
- NonDefeatableOpenInterlock – The open valve command is interlocked and cannot be overridden.
- DefeatableOpenInterlock – The open valve command is interlocked and can be overridden.
- NonDefeatableCloseInterlock – The close valve command is interlocked and cannot be overridden.
- DefeatableCloseInterlock – The close valve command is interlocked and can be overridden.
The following items are related to valve control: These items allow information to flow from the DCS to the SPCS. All commands from the DCS to SPCS may require access controls to ensure that only appropriate personnel initiate them.
<InterlockPlaceholder> – The number of interlock Variables will change based on the project and even valve instance. The Variables shall be of InterlockVariableType or a subtype of it. The interlock contains an InterlockFor Reference to one of the previously described flags. Clients can use this information to categorise the interlocks appropriately. Figure 17 provides an example of how this interlock Variable is used and could be deployed.
Note: in OPC UA it is allowed to have a Node which is the target of multiple 0:HasComponent References, this allows a single interlock to be shared between multiple Objects; such as a low pressure interlock that maybe shared by all of the valves and chokes in a system.
The following items describe configuration related items:
- OpenTimeDuration – Estimated max time to travel to open position, used for DCS systems to indicate a move fail condition if time is exceeded. Time is provided in milliseconds. The OpenTimeDuration can be used for any kind of valve (hydraulic, electric, etc.). [Note: this time is an estimate and Clients may need to allow for additional delays in transmitting and receiving any move commands].
- CloseTimeDuration - Estimated max time to travel to close position, used for DCS systems to indicate a move fail condition if time is exceeded. Time is provided in milliseconds. The CloseTimeDuration can be used for any kind of valve (hydraulic, electric, etc.) [Note: this time is an estimate and Clients may need to allow for additional delays in transmitting and receiving any Move commands].
- <ValveSignature> - The reference shall point to an instance of FileType, where the file contains valve signature information. The name of this object is project or vendor specific, but it should be related to the name of the instance of the MDISValveObjectType. The name shall include a timestamp. The FileType ObjectType (defined in OPC 10000-5 (older version), OPC 10000-20 (newer versions)) includes two properties (illustrated below), for all MDIS instances both of these properties shall have the value False. For additional detail see 6.14.3.

Vendor specific subtypes of this ObjectType are allowed. They may add additional vendor specific information or may change some Optional items to Mandatory. A standard file content is defined in Annex E.
The MDISValveObjectType is a subtype of MDISBaseObjectType and inherit the FaultCode Variable. The MDISValveObjectType defines the standard FaultCodes (for bits 0-15 as defined in 6.2.2) in Table 52. All subtypes of this the MDISValveObjectType will inherit all FaultCodes defined in this table. Subtypes may define additional FaultCodes in their own table.

The MDISValveObjectType defines the standard WarningCodes (for bits 0-15 as defined in 6.2.2) in Table 53. All subtypes of this the MDISValveObjectType will inherit all WarningCodes defined in this table. Subtypes may define additional WarningCodes in their own table.
