The Index Property gives the number of the mould.

The Id Property represents the Id of the installed mould. It is valid for a complete configuration of a mould incl. frames/inserts. If an insert is changed or deactivated, the mould gets a new Id.

This Property informs the client if the mould is physically present and connected. May be FALSE e.g. when instances for possible moulds are created (depending on the capabilities/connectors of the machine) which are currently not used.

The Description Property represents a description of the installed mould.

The MouldStatusProperty represents the current (physical) status of the mould related to the object instance. The MouldStatusEnumeration is defined in Table 60:
