The MaterialPointType structure provides the description of the capability of a material point.

The MaterialPointType structure is defined in the following table.

MaterialPointType

Structure

Subtype of Structure defined in OPC 10000-5

M

ID

0:String

Unique identifier for the material point type.

M

Description

0:LocalizedText

Description of the material point type.

M

MaterialCapability

MaterialDefinitionType[]

The complete set of material definitions that the material point can process.

M

ConnectedMaterialPoint

0:ExpandedNodeId

The identifier for the node id of the connected material point. The connected material point may be exposed by a different OPC UA server.

M

PropagatesProductionOrder

0:Boolean

The material point propagates the production order with the ConnectedMaterialPoint.

If the material point is a MaterialLoadingPointType, and PropagatesProductionOrder is True, then the material point receives a production order from the upstream ConnectedMaterialPoint.

If the material point is a MaterialOutputPointType, and PropagatesProductionOrder is True, then the material point sends a production order to the downstream ConnectedMaterialPoint.

If the material point is a MaterialRejectionPointType, and PropagatesProductionOrder is True, then the material point sends a production order to the downstream ConnectedMaterialPoint. This variable is defined by the end user and entered by the developer of the TMC server invoking the SetNewSpecification method.
