The IdentificationType represents general information about a machine. The information is fixed by the manufacturer and not changeable by the user. It is used instead of the MachineInformationType where the detailed information of the MachineInformationType is not needed e.g. in a horizonal communication between machines in a production line.

The DeviceClass Property indicates in which domain or for what purpose a certain device is used. The Property is optional in OPC UA DI. Here it is overridden and made mandatory. The value is specified in the specific Companion Specification (e.g. "Hot Runner Device " for OPC 40082-2)
The Manufacturer Property provides the name of the manufacturer of the machine (e.g. "Negri Bossi"). The Property is optional in OPC UA DI. Here it is overridden and made mandatory.
The Model Property represents the name of the machine type (e.g. "KM 1000-2500", "Allrounder"). The Property is optional in OPC UA DI. Here it is overridden and made mandatory.
The SerialNumber Property represents the serial number of the machine (unique ID given by the manufacturer, e.g. "1240114"). The Property is optional in OPC UA DI. Here it is overridden and made mandatory.
The optional SoftwareRevision Property represents the software version used in the control unit (e.g. "nb2001v11B030").
The optional ProductCode Property represents the product code (e.g. article number) of the machine (e.g. "123.4567.89").
The YearOfConstruction Property represents the year of construction of the machine (e.g. "2018").
