1 Scope

This specification is part of the specification series OPC 40092 for flexible PUR foam production and processing.

Polyurethane (PUR) foam is a synthetic polymer produced by the chemical reaction of polyols and isocyanates. It is widely used in flexible applications such as cushioning, insulation, and packaging due to its open-cell structure, elasticity, and durability.

This part covers the foam cutting machines.

OPC 40092-1 describes the data model for flexible PUR foam cutting machines for data exchange during operation. The target of OPC 40092-1 is to provide a unique interface for machines from different manufacturers to ensure compatibility.

The following functionalities are covered:

General information about the machine (manufacturer, model, serial number…), current configuration and status.

Process information like cutting knife speed for monitoring and process optimization.

Following functions are not included:

Remote control of the machine

Safety related signals like emergency stop

17 Namespaces

17.1 Namespace Metadata

Table 32 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.

17.2 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 33 provides a list of mandatory and optional namespaces used in an OPC 40092-1 OPC UA Server.
