11.1 MaterialPointType Structure

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

The MaterialPointType structure is defined in the following table.

ID

0:StringUnique identifier for the material point type.M

Description

0:LocalizedTextDescription of the material point type.M

MaterialCapability

MaterialDefinitionType[]The complete set of material definitions that the material point can process.M

ConnectedMaterialPoint

0:ExpandedNodeIdThe 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.
