JointDataType – OPC UA for Joining Systems

10.15 JointDataType

This structure provides the joint information. Joint is the physical outcome of the joining operation which determines the properties of the point where multiple parts are assembled. Refer Annex H for examples.

The structure is defined in Table 236.

Table 236 – JointDataType Structure

Name	Type	Description	Optional
JointDataType	structure	Subtype of the 0:Structure defined in OPC 10000-5.
JointId	0:TrimmedString	It is the identifier of the joint.	False
JointOriginId	0:TrimmedString	It is an identifier to track the changes made to the original instance in the system. Example: It can point to the identifier of the object when it was created for the first time. It should be an existing ID in the system if it is available else it can be NULL if it is not tracked in a joining system.	True
JointDesignId	0:TrimmedString	It is the identifier of the associated joint design.	True
CreationTime	0:UtcTime	It is the time when the joint was created.	True
LastUpdatedTime	0:UtcTime	It is the time when the joint was updated last time. If it is not available, it can be same as CreationTime.	True
Name	0:String	It is the name of the joint.	True
Description	0:LocalizedText	It is the description of the joint.	True
Classification	0:Int16	It is the classification of the joint. It has the following pre-defined values. 0 – UNDEFINED 1 – OTHER 2 – CATEGORY_A is high risk, danger to life or environment. (VDI-VDE 2862-2). 3 – CATEGORY_B is medium risk, operational malfunction, or system shutdown. (VDI-VDE 2862-2). 4 – CATEGORY_C is low risk, non-critical. (VDI-VDE 2862-2).	True
ClassificationDetails	0:LocalizedText	It is the details of the classification. It can also be used to provide any other type of classification. Examples: Safety Critical, etc.	True
JointStatus	0:TrimmedString	It is the status of the joint. Examples: Ok, InUse, NotInUse, NotYetDone, etc.	True
AssociatedEntities	EntityDataType[]	It is the list of entities associated to the joint. Examples: JoiningProcessId, JobId, QualityProcessId, SimulationProcessId, etc.	True
JoiningTechnology	0:LocalizedText	It is a human readable text to identify the joining technology.	True

Its representation in the AddressSpace is defined in Table 237.
