This chapter defines the corresponding profiles and conformance units for the OPC UA Information Model for POWERLINK Profiles are named groupings of conformance units. Facets are profiles that will be combined with other Profiles to define the complete functionality of an OPC UA Server or Client. The following tables specify the facets available for Servers that implement the POWERLINK Information Model companion standard, and for Clients that are communicating with such Servers.

Table 51 defines a server facet for direct access to the POWERLINK Objects through a structured NodeId that may be generated by user entry or by tools.
