This chapter descripes different examples for the usage of DriveType or a SubType of ComponentType defined in OPC UA DI inclusive the references described in this specification.
All views show only the instances and references necessary to better illustrate the examples described.
Figure B.15 describes the usage of DriveType as an instance of a single-slot drive regarding the manipulator showed Figure B.10 on the left side.
Figure B.15 – IsDrivenby references to DriveType instances
Figure B.16 describes the usage of slots or channels of a multi-slot-drive. The instance ot the slot is a vendor specific subtype of BaseObjectType.

Figure B.17 describes the usage of DriveType for a multi-slot-drive if deeper information of slot definition is not available.
It is allowed that several instances of MotorType reference IsDrivenBy to one multi-slot-drive.

Figure B.18 describes the usage with a motor-integrated-drive as one physical device. The instance MyDrive is a vendor specific subtype of BaseObjectType. Identification properties of this physical device shall be defined within the referenced MotorType.

Figure B.19 describes an example view on a server with the instances of ObjectTypes and references of a six-axis robot with master-slave axis and drive-slots described in Annex B.1.8.2.
If a master-slave configuration only has one gear this shall be placed inside the master-power-train.

Figure B.20 describes an example view on a server with the instances of ObjectTypes and references of a motion device system consisting of a six-axis robot, a linear unit and a turn-table which are controlled by one controller.
