The Properties 2:ProductInstanceUri, 2:Manufacturer, 2:ManufacturerUri, 2:Model, 2:ProductCode, 2:HardwareRevision, 2:SoftwareRevision, 2:DeviceClass, 2:SerialNumber, YearOfConstruction and InitialOperationDate are defined by the IMachineVendorNameplateType and already inherited from the MachineryItemIdentificationType and shall be used as defined by both. The 2:ProductInstanceUri is mandatory.

It is not recommended to use the optional Properties 2:DeviceRevision, 2:RevisionCounter and 2:DeviceManual defined by the 2:IVendorNameplateType and inherited by the IMachineVendorNameplateType. Therefore, those optional Properties are not applied on the ObjectType.

The Properties 2:AssetId, 2:ComponentName, and Location are defined by the IMachineTagNameplateType and shall be used as defined by the Interface. 2:AssetId and 2:ComponentName are also inherited from the MachineryItemIdentificationType.

The InstanceDeclarations of the MachineIdentificationType have additional Attribute values defined in Table 22.
