The FeederModuleType defines the structure of an Object of the FeederModuleType. Figure 13 shows the hierarchical structure and details of the composition. It is formally defined in Table 11.

The Type defines a general communication interface for a feeder system. It contains only variables and methods.

JobName is the human-readable name of the job to which this product belongs.

PresetTare defines the predefined tare weight. The value must be written before the item is measured.

ProductId defines a unique ID of this product.

The ProductMode displays the current mode of the product. The ProductType instance can be in the mode "Processing" or "Not Processing". The mode is independent from the Lock. Thus, it is possible that a product is in the "Processing mode" and writeable. The combination of these both modes should be used with care as the writeable element may be in an inconsistent state. If the ProductMode is true the Object is in "Processing". Otherwise, it is in the mode "Not Processing".

ProductName defines the name of this product.

Lock is used as container for the LockingServicesType Methods and Properties. It is defined in OPC 10000-100 (Locking). In addition to this definition, the server can also lock an object of the ProductType. In this case the property LockingClient contains the ProductUri of the server and LockingUser contains an empty String.

NOTE: If an Object is writeable not all variables must be writeable. There can be additional restrictions based on the implementation.

Statistic contains the different statistic values of the product. The statistic can’t be reset manually. All measurements that relate to the product of the job will be used in the statistics.

An Object of the VehicleScaleType represents a vehicle scale. It defines additional methods and properties required for managing the vehicle scale.

The following use cases for a vehicle scale exist:

• Checking the weight of the vehicle (e.g., a traffic check or an overload check) (check vehicle weight)
• The weight of the vehicle is known and only one measurement is needed to determine the gross weight (one pass weighing)
• The weight of the vehicle is unknown, and more than one measurement is needed to determine the gross weight (more pass weighing) (e.g. a vehicle arrives at a gravel plant full/empty and leaves it empty/full)

Table 118 shows the process of the different use cases:

Table 118 − Process of vehicle weighing

Checkweighing	One pass weighing	More pass weighing
Call the method RegisterWeight to get the current value	Call the method OnePassWeighing to trigger an outbound weighing and use the preset tare to calculate DeltaWeight	Call the method InboundWeighing if the vehicle arrives at the area and call the method OutboundWeighing if the vehicle leaves the area. The results must be saved in the scale. If OutboundWeighing and InboundWeighing are stored in the scale the DeltaWeight (as result) can be calculated

InboundWeight gives the result of the InboundWeighing method in a separate variable.

InboundScale defines the NodeId of the scale that was used for measuring the InboundWeight in a multi-scale-system

OutboundWeight gives the result of the OutboundWeighing and a CheckWeighing method in a separate variable.

OutboundScale defines the NodeId of the scale that was used for measuring the OutboundWeight in a multi-scale-system.

DeltaWeight gives the loaded or unloaded net weight and is defined by the difference between InboundWeight and OutboundWeight. In case of OutboundWeighing only, the delta is defined by OutboundWeight minus tare.

Tare defines the tare value for the vehicle, used during a one pass transaction. This is different than the tare set on the terminal for regular weighing.

TareExpirationDate is the date on which the tare expires.

TotalWeight is the sum of net weights for the vehicle defined in VehicleId.

TotalWeightResetDate is the date on which the TotalWeight was reset last time.

VehicleId is a unique identifier to determine which vehicle is present (e.g., license plate number or wagon number).

Material is the name of the material.

CarrierDisplayName is the display name of the carrier that is involved in the occurring process.

CarrierId is the number of the carrier that is involved in the occurring process.

DriverDisplayName is the display name of the driver who is involved in the occurring process.

DriverId is the number of the driver who is involved in the occurring process.

Customer is an address of the customer who is involved in the occurring process.

Destination is the address of the destination that is involved in the occurring process.

Supplier is the address of the supplier that is involved in the occurring process.

ScaleOperatorId defines the ID of the operator that is triggering and the operation of the scale.

The components of the VehicleProductType have additional references which are defined in Table 127.

DeltaWeight	0:HasProperty	Variable	IsFilling	0:Boolean	0:PropertyType	Optional

DeltaWeight.IsFilling defines if the deltaWeight is a filling weight or an unloading weight.

The Method loads vehicle information of the data store. It requires a unique vehicle ID as input. Table 128 and Table 129 specify the Arguments and AddressSpace representation, respectively.

Signature

The WeighingModuleType defines the structure of an Object of the WeighingModuleType. Figure 61 shows the hierarchical structure and details of the composition. It is formally defined in Table 130.

An Object of the WeighingModuleType represents a weighing bridge. It defines additional methods and properties required for managing the weighing bridge. The Object should be a subdevice of another device (e.g., a VehicleScaleDeviceType).

No additional properties exist.

The MaterialType defines the structure of an Object of the MaterialType. Figure 62 shows the hierarchical structure and details of the composition. It is formally defined in Table 131.

An Object of the MaterialType represents a material. It defines additional properties required for managing materials (for example as part of a vehicle product or in a recipe).

MaterialId defines a unique identifier for the material.

MaterialName defines a user-readable name of the material.

The FloatingStatisticType defines the structure of an Object of the FloatingStatisticType. Figure 63 shows the hierarchical structure and the details of the composition. It is formally defined in Table 132.

The FloatingStatisticType is a subtype of the StatisiticType and also a container for the different statistic values. All Variables are optional so that the statistics can be instanced application-specifically. The FloatingStatisticType is not used directly in the information model but should be used for application-specific statistics. Unlike the StatisiticType, the statistic behind the FloatingStatisticType is not time-based, but contains the last NumberOfValues values.

The TotalizerType defines the structure of an Object of the TotalizerType. Figure 64 shows the hierarchical structure and details of the composition. It is formally defined in Table 133.

An Object of the TotalizerType contains the sum of the last measurement results (TotalizedValue). Additionally, it defines a Method to reset the totalizer and the addition of the result starts with zero.

TotalizedValue defines a summed up/totalized volume within a period of time.

Resets the TotalizedValue of this totalizer Object. Only useful if the reset is not related to a period of time (e.g., over 1h).

Signature
