3 Terms, definitions and conventions
3.1 Overview
It is assumed that basic concepts of OPC UA information modelling are understood in this specification. This specification will use these concepts to describe the OPC 40082-6 Information Model. For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in the documents referenced in Clause 2 apply.
3.2 Conventions used in this document
The conventions described in OPC 40083 apply.
The same applies to the Container Concept described in OPC 40083, especially the use of the Property NodeVersion:
"Several objects can occur several times in the parent object (e.g. several moulds in one machine). For these, container objects are modelled. The benefit is that all instances are collected in one object so that changes can be easily recognized by using a Property NodeVersion which can be subscribed by clients. According to OPC 10000-3 the instances of the container objects shall also trigger a GeneralModelChangeEvent."

8.2 DeviceMappingNumber
| Description: | Unique identifier/address/number for devices of the same DeviceType within a local network. Several peripheral devices of the same DeviceType can be connected to an IMM. In most applications, the IMM must map the connected peripheral devices to internal logical devices and channels in a fixed configuration (e.g. dryer systems according to the injection unit). |
The mapping must be stable after reconnecting the devices and is therefore not possible via IP addresses, which can be assigned dynamically via DHCP. DeviceMappingNumber sets the mapping order of peripheral devices of the same type on the local network and is therefore of type UInt32.
| Example: | 1 |
8.3 IdentifyDevice
The peripheral device on which this method is called shows itself by e.g. activation of a LED or by Message on the UI of the device.

13.8 TemperatureReduction
To protect or store the material after drying, it's possible to reduce the temperature inside the bin. The value indicates by how much the temperature is lowered (relative value) in K.
In CONTINUOUS DryingMode, the reduction is applied during drying protection if activated.
In BATCH DryingMode, the reduction is applied as storage temperature reduction for (long time) storage of dried material.
Storage reduction is usually higher than drying protection reduction.
13.9 ActivateDryingProtection
Method to activate the drying protection. Does not affect storage temperature reduction (in batch drying mode temperature will be reduced to storage temperature even when drying protection is switched off).
When activated, the temperature reduction given in the TemperatureReduction Variable gets applied after drying time. In a continuous process, the temperature reduction gets applied immediately. The protection will be reset after each material load.

19 Namespaces
19.1 Namespace Metadata
Table 49 defines the namespace metadata for this document. The Object is used to provide version information for the namespace and an indication about 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 Object of type NamespaceMetadataType. This Object is a component of the Namespaces Object 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 UANodeSet XML schema is defined in OPC 10000-6.

19.2 Handling of OPC UA Namespaces
Namespaces are used by OPC UA to create unique identifiers across different naming authorities. The Attributes NodeId and BrowseName are identifiers. A Node in the UA AddressSpace is unambiguously identified using a NodeId. Unlike NodeIds, the BrowseName cannot be used to unambiguously identify a Node. Different Nodes may have the same BrowseName. They are used to build a browse path between two Nodes or to define a standard Property.
Servers may often choose to use the same namespace for the NodeId and the BrowseName. However, if they want to provide a standard Property, its BrowseName shall have the namespace of the standards body although the namespace of the NodeId reflects something else, for example the EngineeringUnits Property. All NodeIds of Nodes not defined in this document shall not use the standard namespaces.
Table 50 provides a list of mandatory and optional namespaces used in an OPC 40082-6 OPC UA Server.
| NamespaceURI | Description | Use |
| http://opcfoundation.org/UA/ | Namespace for NodeIds and BrowseNames defined in the OPC UA specification. This namespace shall have namespace index 0. | Mandatory |
| Local Server URI | Namespace for nodes defined in the local server. This namespace shall have namespace index 1. | Mandatory |
| http://opcfoundation.org/UA/DI/ | Namespace for NodeIds and BrowseNames defined in OPC 10000-100. The namespace index is Server specific. | Mandatory |
| http://opcfoundation.org/UA/Machinery/ | Namespace for NodeIds and BrowseNames defined in OPC UA for Machinery - Part 1: Basic Building Blocks (OPC 40001-1). The namespace index is Server specific. | Mandatory |
http://opcfoundation.org/UA/PlasticsRubber/ GeneralTypes/ | Namespace for NodeIds and BrowseNames defined in OPC 40083. The namespace index is server specific. | Mandatory |
| http://opcfoundation.org/UA/PlasticsRubber/GDD/ | Namespace for NodeIds and BrowseNames defined in this document. The namespace index is Server specific. | Mandatory |
| Vendor specific types | A Server may provide vendor-specific types like types derived from ObjectTypes defined in this document in a vendor-specific namespace. | Optional |
| Vendor specific instances | A Server provides vendor-specific instances of the standard types or vendor-specific instances of vendor-specific types in a vendor-specific namespace. It is recommended to separate vendor specific types and vendor specific instances into two or more namespaces. | Mandatory |
Table 51 provides a list of namespaces and their indices used for BrowseNames in this document. The default namespace of this document is not listed since all BrowseNames without prefix use this default namespace.
| NamespaceURI | Namespace Index | Example |
| http://opcfoundation.org/UA/ | 0 | 0:EngineeringUnits |
| http://opcfoundation.org/UA/DI/ | 2 | 2:DeviceClass |
| http://opcfoundation.org/UA/Machinery/ | 3 | 3:MachineIdentificationType |
| http://opcfoundation.org/UA/PlasticsRubber/GeneralTypes/ | 4 | 4:MachineInformationType |
