Messages is the node sending events, which are used for errors, warnings and messages. The respective references are formally defined in Table 67.

Prognoses contains a list of the current prognoses for machine operation. Reliability for any prognosis in the list will rely on the specific case and cannot be guaranteed to be precise.

The MessagesType is used to define the object sending events. These events are used for errors, warnings and messages.

MachineTool Notification – Errors and Alerts

To differentiate between errors, warnings and messages on the interface, the following convention shall be used, with regard to the recommendations in OPC 10000-5:

Errors have a high 0:Severity between 667 and 1000 and are using an AlertType.

Warnings have a medium 0:Severity between 334 and 666 and are using an AlertType.

Messages have a low 0:Severity lower or equal to 333 and are using a NotificationEventType.

The PrognosisListType is a structuring node to collect predictions about future times when certain interaction with the machine may be necessary.

<Prognosis > is an optional placeholder for PrognosisType nodes. Thus, the PrognosisListType can have any number of prognoses as components, including none. If the number of prognoses in this list changes during the runtime of the OPC UA server, the 0:NodeVersion and 0:GeneralModelChangeEventType can be used to indicate those changes. The 0:NodeVersion and the 0:GeneralModelChangeEventType are intended to be used in the way defined in OPC 10000-3 and 7.3.

The PrognosisType is the most basic prognosis type and the supertype to more specific prognosis types. It is an abstract type, meaning it is not instantiated, only the subtypes are.

Location refers to the place the tool shall be removed from within the machine’s system boundary, e.g., a tool magazine or the workspace of the machine.

ToolIdentifier is identical to the Identifier property of the tool to change, if applicable. If the tool is not modelled in the AddressSpace of the OPC UA Server, this component shall be filled accordingly.

ToolName contains the name of the tool to change, as described for the BaseToolType in 8.5.3. If the tool is not available in the AddressSpace, the ToolName shall be given in a similar manner.

ToolNodeId is the 0:NodeId of the BaseToolType subtype instance this prognosis refers to.

The ToolLoadPrognosisType is a prognosis indicating at which time in the future a tool will be loaded into the machine. This prognosis indicates loading a tool within the machine’s workspace or a tool magazine the machine has access to.
