OPC Unified Architecture – Part 81: UAFX Connecting Devices and Information Model
14.1 Namespace metadata
Table 254, Table 255 and Table 256 define the namespace metadata for this document. Table 254 defines DataTypes that are shared between the AutomationComponent and the ConnectionManager. Table 255 defines the namespace associated with an AutomationComponent. Table 256 defines the namespace associated with a ConnectionManager. The Objects are used to provide version information for the namespaces and an indication of static Nodes. Static Nodes are identical for all Attributes in all Servers, including the Value Attribute. See OPC 10000-5 for more details.
The information is provided as an Object of type NamespaceMetadataType. This Object is a component of the NamespacesObject that is part of the Server Object. The NamespaceMetadataType ObjectType and its Properties are defined in OPC 10000-5.
The version information is also provided as part of the ModelTableEntry in the UANodeSet XML file. The links to the UANodeSet XML file are defined in Annex A. The UANodeSet XML schema is defined in OPC 10000-6.
