The MachineToolType represents the entire machine tool interface of the information model. It is the entry point to the OPC UA interface of a machine tool. It gives a basic structure to the interface. An instance of this type aggregates all information related to one machine tool.
All instances of MachineToolType have to be referenced from the 3:Machines node defined in OPC 40001-1. At least one MachineToolType instance shall be present to qualify for any profile of OPC UA for Machine Tools.
The MachineToolType is formally defined in Table 9.
