The NodeVersion Property as defined in OPC 10000-3 is used to inform the client about model changes. Here it informs about added or removed instances of JobType in the group.

Id of the job group.

Description of the job group.

Description of the equipment needed for job. This is only for information (e.g. for operator)

NOTE: It makes sense only to mention the interchangeable equipment of the extrusion line here (e.g. die, screw).

Name of the production dataset which is needed for the job.

Information, which material is needed for the production. The MaterialMappingType is defined in Table 16.

Description

MaterialMappingType

structure

MaterialId

String

Id of the material as specified in the MaterialList (see 6.8)

MaterialLot

String

Lot of the material (empty string allowed if not relevant)

HopperId

String

Id of the hopper in which the material shall be put (empty string allowed if not supported)

Priority of the job group: 1 = highest priority, higher values represent lower priorities.

Planned start of the job (in UTC time). If not relevant the value shall be 0.

Planned time for the production of the job group. If not relevant the value shall be 0.

Planned total time needed for set up and tear down of the extrusion line for the job group. If not relevant the value shall be 0.

Latest end of the job (in UTC time). If not relevant the value shall be 0.

Array of offered configuration parameters. The ConfigurationParameterType is defined in OPC 40083. Which ConfigurationParameters are offered to the jobs in the group depends on the machine / implementation / production dataset.

Status of the job group. The JobStatusEnumeration is defined in OPC 40083.

Cumulated electrical energy consumption of the extrusion line for the job group in kWh.

Cumulated energy for the cooling of the whole extrusion line with fluid for the job group in kWh.

Cumulated consumption of pressure air of the whole extrusion line (volume at standard conditions) for the job group in kWh.

This is a placeholder for the jobs inside the group (see 8.3). When instances are created the BrowseNames shall be “Job_<Nr>” where <Nr> is a three-digit number with leading zeros, starting with “001”.

This method adds a new job to the group with the needed Properties.
