Advanced features are implemented.

The present document requires that the OPC UA Server explicitly exposes the support (or lack thereof) for certain features that depend on the underlying capabilities of the computing hardware:

  1. Method GetIOImage, 6.13.4.7;
  2. Method GetLiveStream, 6.13.4.8;
  3. Method GetRemoteConnection, 6.13.4.9;
  4. Method GetScreenshot, 6.13.4.10;
  5. Method GetSystemDump, 6.13.4.12;
  6. Method InstallSoftwarePackageRemotely, 6.14.4.3;
  7. Method TransferSoftwarePackageFromRepository, 6.14.4.5 and Method TransferSoftwarePackageToRepository, 6.14.4.6

The above mentioned features are not covered by the following definition of the TMCImplementedLevel and may be implemented or opted out for either the Essential or Advanced level.

An OPC UA Server implementing the Essential level, shall support the nodeset of the Object Types listed below, including relevant enumerations, data variable types, references and events required:

  1. MachineModuleType, 6.1;
  2. MachineModuleLiveStatusType, 6.2;
  3. MachineModuleConfigurationType, 6.3;
  4. MachineModuleSpecificationType, 6.4;
  5. MachineModuleHistoricalRecordType, 6.5;
  6. MachineModuleSetupType, 6.7;
  7. MaterialLoadingPointType, 6.76.8 excluding the Variable TotalLoadedLot
  8. MaterialStorageBufferType, 6.86.9;
  9. MaterialRejectionTrapType, 6.10;
  10. DefectDetectionSensorType, 6.11;
  11. MaterialOutputType, 6.12;
  12. ControlsHWType, 6.13;

ControlsSWType, 6.14;

  1. TMCServerType, 0;
  2. UIInformationType, 6.16;
  3. UserInterfaceType, 6.17;
  4. ProcessItemType, 6.18;
  5. LogbookEvent, 6.19;

An OPC UA Server implementing the Advanced level, shall implement the Essential Level and additionally shall support the nodeset of the Object Types listed below, including relevant enumerations, data variable types, references and events required:

  1. MachineModuleProductionType, 6.6;
  2. MaterialLoadingPointType, 6.8 including the Variable TotalLoadedLot
