6.4 COMM_IF Section and BLOCK Section
6.4.1 Basic policy
Basic policy to apply information described in the COMM_IF section and BLOCK section for creating CSP+ machine ObjectType is as follows.
CSPP elements specified in the COMM_IF_VARIABLE part and COMM_IF_CONFIGURATION part are mapped to each DataVariable referred to from ParameterSet Object of CSP+ machine ObjectType by using HasComponent Reference.
The DataVariables above are grouped both per CSPP section and per CSPP part. FunctionalGroupType Objects are created only for the number of CSPP sections and CSPP parts for grouping purpose, the Objects corresponding to the CSPP sections are referred to from the CSP+ machine ObjectType by using HasComponent Reference, and the Objects corresponding to the CSPP parts are referred to from the Objects corresponding to the sections using the HasComponent Reference.
Attribute and Property information held by the DataVariables (e.g. engineering unit, minimum collection cycle) are configured based on the CSPP elements in the BLOCK_MEMORY part and BLOCK_PARAM part referred to from the element corresponding to the DataVariables, and CSPP element or CSPP part to which the CSPP element belongs.
The image of the basic policy is shown in Figure 7‑1.

and CSP+ Machine ObjectType
6.4.2 COMM_IF section header information
From the information described in the COMM_IF section header, LABEL name is mapped to the BrowseName Attribute of the FunctionalGroupType Object (refer to 5.2.1.3) and LABEL2 name is mapped to the DisplayName Attribute of the same Object above.
6.4.3 BLOCK section header information
No rules are specified to use the information described in the BLOCK section header to create CSP+ machine ObjectType.
6.4.4 COMM_IF_INFO part
No rules are specified to use the information described in the COMM_IF_INFO part to create CSP+ machine ObjectType.
6.4.5 BLOCK_INFO part
No rules are specified to use the information described in the BLOCK_INFO part to create CSP+ machine ObjectType.
6.4.6 COMM_IF_VARIABLE part, COMM_IF_CONFIGURATION part
6.4.6.1 Header information
From the information described in the COMM_IF_VARIABLE part and COMM_IF_CONFIGURATION part headers, LABEL name is mapped to the BrowseName Attribute of the FunctionalGroupType Object (refer to 5.2.1.4 and 5.2.1.5) and LABEL2 name is mapped to the DisplayName Attribute of the same Object above.
No rules are specified to use any information other than the above to create CSP+ machine ObjectType.
6.4.6.2 CSPP element
CSPP elements specified in the COMM_IF_VARIABLE part and COMM_IF_CONFIGURATION part are mapped to each DataVariable referred to from ParameterSet Object of CSP+ machine ObjectType by using HasComponent Reference. The VariableType of each DataVariable is determined based on the following rules depending on the item values of the BLOCK_MEMORY part and BLOCK_PARAM part CSPP elements referred to from item values of each CSPP element and the CSPP elements.
CSPP elements that specify ENUM to the RANGE item are mapped to the DataVariables in one of VariableTypes: TwoStateDiscreteType, MultiStateDiscreteType, and MultiStateValueDiscreteType.
Data type is boolean type: TwoStateDiscreteType VariableType
CODE item values of entire elements are assigned in a serial number starting from 0 in ENUM part: MultiStateDiscreteType VariableType
Any case other than the above: MultiStateValueDiscreteType VariableType
All the CSPP elements other than the above referring to BLOCK_PARAM part including P_Period element are mapped to the DataVariable of the CsppAnalogItemType VariableType.
All the CSPP elements other than the above in data type of bit string type, signed integral data type, unsigned integral data type, BCD integral data type, or real data type, are mapped to the DataVariable of the AnalogItemType VariableType.
All the CSPP elements other than the above are mapped to the DataVariable of the DataItemType VariableType.
Part of items of each CSPP element is mapped to Attributes and Properties of the DataVariables. Table 7‑2 shows the mapping specifications. Instead of description omission in the COMM_IF_VARIABLE part and COMM_IF_CONFIGURATION part, the mapping specifications shown in the Table 7‑2 are also applied to the items described in the P_Value element of the BLOCK_MEMORY part.
Table 7‑2 – Mapping Specifications for COMM_IF_VARIABLE Part
and COMM_IF_CONFIGURATION Part Elements
| No. | Item name of CSPP element (mapping source) | Mapping destination | Rule |
| 1. | LABEL | BrowseName Attribute | Maps the string that consists of the item value followed by a decimal value representing the appearance sequence (initial value: 1) of the item which has the same LABEL name in the CSP+ file for machine, to an Attribute value. Example: When the LABEL name is "ABC" and the appearance sequence is 12, the Attribute value is "ABC12". |
| 2. | LABEL2 | DisplayName Attribute | Maps the item value to the Attribute value. |
| 3. | CATEGORY | (No mapping) | - |
| 4. | NAME | (No mapping) | - |
| 5. | DATATYPE | DataType Attribute | Refer to Table 8‑1. |
| 6. | RANGE | When values and value ranges are directly described EURange Property When option list (ENUM) is used Refer to 6.4.8. | Mapping is performed only when one type of value setting is specified. No mapping is performed when two or more types of values are specified or when a value is specified. Since the Range as a data type of EURange Property cannot identify whether it is closed interval or open interval, upper limit is mapped to the high element of the Value Attribute and lower limit is mapped to the low element without the identification. |
| 7. | MIN_INC | (Affected to Value Attribute indirectly) | Refer to No.1 of Table 7‑3. |
| 8. | ENG_UNIT | EngineeringUnits Property | Maps the item value to the displayName element of the Value Attribute of the Property. |
| 9. | ACCESS | AccessLevel Attribute | Maps the item value to an Attribute value based on the following rules. This item is not present in the COMM_IF_VARIABLE part element; however, it is handled as the item value is R. - Item value is "R": Set bit 0 to 1, bit 1 to 0 - Item value is "W": Set bit 0 to 0, bit 1 to 1 - Item value is "RW": Set bit 0 to 1, bit 1 to 1 - Item value is "NA": Set bit 0 to 0, bit 1 to 0 - Item value is empty: No rules applied |
| 10. | REF_MEMORY(*1) | Refer to 6.4.7. | - |
| 11. | REF_PARAM(*1) | Refer to 6.4.7. | - |
| 12. | ASSIGN(*2) | (No mapping) | Does not map any item values but maps the values acquired from the machine using this item value to the Value Attribute value of the DataVariable. |
| 13. | COMMENT | Description Attribute | Maps the item value to the Attribute value. |
*1: For the COMM_IF_CONFIGURATION part CSPP element only
*2: For the COMM_IF_VARIABLE part CSPP element only
6.4.7 BLOCK_MEMORY part, BLOCK_PARAM part
6.4.7.1 Header information
No rules are specified to use the information described in the BLOCK_MEMORY part and BLOCK_PARAM part headers to create CSP+ machine ObjectType.
6.4.7.2 Preset label CSPP element
Elements having preset labels in the BLOCK_MEMORY part and BLOCK_PARAM part are mapped not to CSP+ machine ObjectType but to a machine Object with the CSP+ machine ObjectType instantiated.
Some of elements having preset labels in the BLOCK_MEMORY part and BLOCK_PARAM part are mapped to Attributes and Properties of DataVariables as mapping destination for the elements specified in the COMM_IF_CONFIGURATION as its reference source, and others are mapped to return values for the Services (Read, Publish, Republish) to be executed for the DataVariables. Table 7‑3 shows the mapping specifications.
Table 7‑3 – Mapping Specifications for BLOCK_MEMORY Part and BLOCK_PARAM Part CSPP Elements
| No. | LABEL name of CSPP element (mapping source) | Mapping destination | Rule |
| 1. | P_Value | Value Attribute of the DataVariable | Maps the value acquired from the machine to the Attribute value. However, when MIN_INC item has been defined in P_Value element or its reference source element, a value acquired from the machine is converted depending on the MIN_INC item value and mapped to the Attribute value. |
| 2. | P_NA | Severity field (bit 30 and bit 31) of the statusCode element of a value as DataValue DataType*1 from the Service return values | When the value acquired from the machine is 0 (not missing), the Severity should be "00" (Good Success). When the value acquired is 1 (missing), the Severity should be "10" (Bad Failure). |
| 3. | P_Accuracy | ValuePrecision Property for DataVariable | Maps a value acquired from the machine (BLOCK_MEMORY part) or an element DATA item value (BLOCK_PARAM part) to a Value Attribute value of a Property. |
| 4. | P_ChangeDate | "sourceTimestamp" member of a value as DataValue DataType*1 from the Service return values | Maps the item value acquired from the machine to the member value. |
| 5. | P_MeasurementDate | "serverTimestamp" element of a value as DataValue DataType*1 from the Service return values | Maps the item value acquired from the machine to the element value. |
| 6. | P_Period | Duration Property for DataVariable | Converts the value acquired from the machine (the unit is specified by the ENG_UNIT item value for the element) in millisecond unit and maps to the Attribute value of the Property. |
| 7. | P_Cycle | MinimumSampleingInterval Attribute for DataVariable | Maps DATA item value of the element to the Attribute value. |
*1: For a Read Service, the results[] value corresponds to the DataValue DataType. For a Publish or Republish Service, the Value element of the notificationData[] element in the notificationMessage value corresponds to the DataValue DataType.
