GMSIdentificationType – OPC UA for Geometric Measurement Systems

8.7 GMSIdentificationType

The GMSIdentificationType provides information about the current machine.

The GMSIdentificationType is formally defined in Table 23.

SubDeviceClass is defined in a more special way than the generic DeviceClass. The classification is made based on the description in section 5.1.2. The corresponding possible values (for the SubDeviceClass) may be taken from Table 24.
