Description:Unique identifier/address/number for devices of the same DeviceType within a local network. Several peripheral devices of the same DeviceType can be connected to a machine. In most applications, the machine must map the connected peripheral devices to internal logical devices and zones in a fixed configuration (e.g. hot runner systems according to the wiring or temperature control devices according to the tubing).The mapping shall be stable after reconnecting the devices and is therefore not possible via IP addresses, which can be assigned dynamically via DHCP. DeviceMappingNumber sets the mapping order of peripheral devices of the same type on the local network and is therefore of type UInt32.

Example:1

Description:Indication of the severity of the highest active alarm (0 = no active alarm – 1000 = possible error). Together with ActiveErrors, it provides a minimal error handling for devices without alarm support. However, the variable shall be filled even if alarms are supported.

Example:400

Description:List of the active errors of the device. It provides a minimal error handling for devices without alarm support. However, the variable shall be filled even if alarms are supported. The ActiveErrorDataType is defined in OPC 40083. If there is no active error, the array is empty.

Description:Method to reset all errors of the device.

Signature

ResetAllErrors();

Description:Method to reset one error of the device.

Signature

Value

Description

OTHER

0

Operating mode of the TCD is unknown

READY_TO_OPERATE

1

TCD is ready to operate (heating, pump and cooling are switched off)

NORMAL_OPERATION

2

TCD is running in normal operating mode

LEAK_STOPPER

3

TCD is running in leak stopper operating mode

MOULD_EVACUATION

4

TCD is carrying out a mould evacuation process

PRESSURE_RELIEF

5

TCD is carrying out a pressure relief process

COOLING

6

TCD is cooling down to StandbyTemperature and switch off

SAFETY_COOLING

7

TCD is cooling down to SwitchingOffTemperature and switch off

ECO

8

TCD is running in Eco operating mode (energy is saved via the reduced pump speed)

BOOST

9

TCD is running in Boost operating mode (pump runs at maximum possible speed)

Description:Actual hours of operation

Unit: h

Example: 4586

Description:The TCD on which this method is called shows itself by e.g. activation of a LED.

Signature

IdentifyDevice ();

Description:Main switch method of the TCD for switching on. OperatingMode shows the actual state of the device.

Signature

SwitchOn ();

Description:Main switch method of the TCD for switching off. OperatingMode shows the actual state of the device.

Signature

SwitchOff ();

Description:Activate the cooling down function on the TCD followed by switching off.OperatingMode shows the actual state of the device during the cooling down process.

Signature

ReduceToStandByOn ();

Description:Deactivate the cooling down function on the TCD. If it is already in progress, it will be interrupted and the device changes back to the last selected operating mode.

Signature

ReduceToStandByOff ();
