7 IMM_MES_InterfaceType

This OPC UA ObjectType is used for the root Object representing an injection moulding machine with all its subcomponents. It is formally defined in Table 1.

The instance(s) of IMM_MES_InterfaceType shall be located under the DeviceSet Object of the Server (see OPC UA Part 100).

NOTE: In most cases the OPC UA server will be implemented in the control of the IMM so only one instance of IMM_MES_InterfaceType will be created. But it is also possible that one OPC UA server is connected to several machine controls as one interface to the MES. In this case several instances of IMM_MES_InterfaceType will be created.

The BrowseName of the object instance shall be "IMM_<Manufacturer>_<SerialNumber>"

Example: "IMM_ARBURG_0123456"

NOTE: The namespace of this BrowseName is the local server URI with namespace index 1 or a vendor specific namespace with server specific namespace index (see Table 14). The BrowseNames of the nodes below are in the namespace of the specification where used Type is defined.
