The OPC UA ObjectType UIInformationType contains graphical specifications required for creating faceplates to display the information made available by the OPC UA Server.

When the information described in the UIInformationType is provided, an OPC UA Client can render the visualisation without further configuration efforts. Thus a suitable zero-config, zero-engineering visualisation is possible.

Figure 24 shows an overview for the UIInformationType with related Properties. It is formally defined in Table 48.
