C.4 Parallel Powertrain Model

Figure 23 – Parallel Powertrain Model with SameEntityAs-Reference

Use Case:

Parallel to an existing instance model, the powertrain specific information model is represented on another hierarchy level.

In contrast to the use case from C.3, an independent submodel is created here according to this powertrain specification. Thus, it is expected that instances of the PtAssetType are on a completely different and independent hierarchy level to existing asset objects from other specifications. Also, the Browsenames of the instances may be quite different here.

To signal to a client that two different nodes in the AddressSpace represent the same entity in the real world, the RepresentsSameEntity reference between these nodes can be used. This is defined in OPC 10000-23.
