This clause defines all of the Interfaces defined in this document. These Interfaces will be used internally in this model as well as being available for companion specifications. Figure 49 illustrates the Interfaces that are defined in this document. The definition of the components that are part of the Interface are provided in the Object Model that utilizes the Interface. In this clause, only the definition of the Interface is provided.
Figure 49 – Interfaces Overview
The functional model is required to be able to be applied to existing Information Models. These models have defined their own Object Models and their own hierarchy of Objects. OPC UA does not support multiple inheritance. By defining the IF unctionalEntityType Interface, the OPC UA FX Information Model can be applied to any existing Object, adding the required IF unctionalEntityType items into the existing Information Model.
The IFunctionalEntityType Interface is formally defined in Table 100.
