MachineTool Notification – Errors and Alerts

The ErrorCode is used for the manufacturer defined error code. Often this is a numeric code whose meaning can be found in the manufacturer’s documentation for the machine.

It is supposed that any error message shown to users of the machine is transmitted with the AlertType in the Message Property inherited from the BaseEventType.

The InterruptionConditionType is used to indicate interruptions in the production process and give information about the underlying reason.

The InterruptionConditionType is formally defined in Table 78.

MachineTool Production InterruptionConditionType

IsAutomated being True indicates that the interruption will automatically end in normal operation of the machine. A tool change for example can be automated and handled by the machine itself. The tool change might also not be automated. In that case an operator has to change the tool manually.

To indicate the reason for the process to be interrupted, the Components ConditionClassId and ConditionClassName of the InterruptionConditionType shall indicate the most appropriate ConditionClass. This specification defines special ConditionClasses relevant to the domain of machine tools (see 10). Of the ConditionClasses defined in OPC 10000-9, especially the SafetyConditionClassType shall be considered as well.

The NotificationEventType is used to send simple messages from the machine. It is used in all cases that do not require an AlertType, because they don’t have an activated and a deactivated state.

The NotificationEventType is formally defined in Table 79.

Identifier is used to identify the notification. It should match the code given in the machine manufacturer’s specification for the respective message.

The ProductionJobTransitionEventType is sent after a transition of the ProductionJobStateMachineType is triggered. It purposely contains a consistent snapshot of the properties and components of the ProductionJobType in order to transport the information valid in the state reached by the transition.
