8 Container objects for the measuring zones of a filter

Several measuring zones can occur several times in a filter(e.g. temperature zones). For these the following container objects are defined (see container concept in OPC 40083):

  • TemperatureZones
  • MeltTemperatureZones
  • MeltPressureZones
8.1 TemperatureZones

This ObjectType is a container for the temperature zones in the filter. The ExtrusionTemperatureZonesType is defined in OPC 40084-1.

8.2 MeltTemperatureZones

This Object is a container for the melt temperature zones. The zones are modelled as MeasuringDeviceType as defined in OPC 40083.

When instances for melt temperature zones are created, the BrowseNames shall be "MeltTemperatureZone_<Nr>” where <Nr> is a three-digit number with leading zeros, starting with “001”.

The temperature of the melt shall be delivered in °C or F.

8.3 MeltPressureZones

This Object is a container for the melt pressure zones. The zones are modelled as MeasuringDeviceType as defined in OPC 40083.

When instances for melt pressure zones are created, the BrowseNames shall be "MeltPressureZone_<Nr>” where <Nr> is a three-digit number with leading zeros, starting with “001”.

The pressure of the melt shall be delivered in bar or lbf/in² (=psi).
