Attribute Description

2:Identification

Data for identification (OPC 40001-1): The FilterSystem should only have an Identification folder if the system as a whole is considered a machine. If the individual filter units are considered machines, the FilterSystem should not have an Identification folder.

2:Identification

NominalAirflow

The nominal airflow of the filter system is the value specified by the manufacturer which defines the nominal extraction capacity of a unit under operating conditions.

2:Identification

ExIdentification

The marking on the type plate of the filter system regarding explosion protection.

2:Identification

RatedPower

The rated power of the filter system is the nominal electrical power of the unit under operating conditions specified by the manufacturer.

<FilterUnit>

All filter units of the system.

AirIntakeConnection

The connection to the ducting system from which the process gas enters the filter system.

AirOutletConnection

The connection to the ducting system to which the cleaned process gas leaves the filter system.

<FilterAidDevice>

All filter aid devices that are used on the server.

<Fan>

All fans used on the server.

<SafetySystem>

All safety systems used on the server.

<TemperatureRegulator>

All temperature regulators used on the server.

PowerConsumption

Contains information regarding the energy consumption of the filter system.

AirConsumption

Contains information regarding the consumption of compressed air of the filter system.

MaintenanceRequested

The maintenance request allows the manufacturer to inform the operator that the system requires maintenance. True = maintenance requested by system. False = no maintenance requested.

4:MachineryItemState

StateMachine representing the operating state of the filter system (OPC 40001-1).

ControlMode

Operating mode that describes whether the system can be controlled externally. Possible values are manual, auto and other.

Malfunction

Malfunction describes that the filter system has a collective fault message. True in case of error.

PressureLoss

Specification of the current total pressure loss of the filter system between the device intake connection on the raw gas side and the device outlet on the clean gas side.

The server sends a MalfunctionAlarmType event when the Malfunction property changes.

The MaintenanceRequestedConditionType is triggered when the MaintenanceRequested property changes.

The components of the FilterSystemType have additional subcomponents which are defined in Table 23.
