Open-SCS Product Serialization - 6.3.3 OPENSCSAggregationManagerObjectType

6.3.3 OPENSCSAggregationManagerObjectType

The OPEN-SCS model for aggregation management when adapted to OPC UA results in two methods attached to an aggregation manager object.

The aggregation manager receives unsolicited events through the aggregation methods. The aggregation methods have the same method signature. The specific methods supported by an aggregation manager are defined in profiles.

MaxAggregationEvents - Defines a read-only maximum number of AggregationElements for packing and unpacking events which can be received in a single method call.

6.3.3.1 AggregationPackingEvent Method

AggregationPackingEvent – This method is used to send unsolicited notification of Aggregation Packing events to an OPC Server that is performing aggregation management.

The signature of this Method is specified below. Table 43 and Table 44 specify the Arguments and AddressSpace representation, respectively.

Signature

AggregationPackingEvent (

[in] OPENSCSAggregationDataType[] AggregationElement

[in] String ParentSNFormat

[in] String PackedElementSNFormat

[in] OPENSCSKeyValueDataType[] AggregationContext

[out] OPENSCSReturnEnum ReturnStatus

);

Table 43 – AggregationPackingEvent Method Arguments

Argument	Description
AggregationElement	Specifies the parent element and the packed element collection that is to be added to the parent element.
ParentSNFormat	Defines the format of the parent Serial Numbers associated to the event.
PackedElementSNFormat	Defines the format of the packed element Serial Numbers associated to the event.
AggregationContext	Zero or mode key value pairs that define additional context information for the event, such as order number or lot number.
ReturnStatus	Returns the status of the method execution.

Method Result Codes are defined as part of the Call service (see OPC 10000-4 and Table 95).

6.3.3.2 AggregationUnpackingEvent Method

AggregationUnpackingEvent – This method is used to send unsolicited notification of Aggregation Unpacking events to an OPC Server that is performing aggregation management.

The signature of this Method is specified below. Table 45 and Table 46 specify the Arguments and AddressSpace representation, respectively.
