The OPC UA ReferenceType IsDrivenBy is used to describe dependencies between objects which have a driving or powering character. The BrowseName IsDrivenBy and the InverseName Drives describe semantically the hierarchical dependency.

Example for usage in this companion specification: an electrical motor IsDrivenBy an servo amplifier (drive) and an internal drive of a motion device or a drive as a component of a controller Drives a motor.

The SourceNode of this type shall be an ObjectType or Object and the TargetNode shall be an Object.
