JoiningProcessMetaDataType – OPC UA for Joining Systems

This structure provides the meta data which describes the joining process.

The structure is defined in Table 246.

Table 246 – JoiningProcessMetaDataType Structure

Name	Type	Description	Optional
JoiningProcessMetaDataType	structure	Subtype of the 0:Structure defined in OPC 10000-5.
JoiningProcessId	0:TrimmedString	It is the system-wide unique identifier of the joining process.	False
JoiningProcessOriginId	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
CreationTime	0:UtcTime	It is the time when the joining process was created.	True
LastUpdatedTime	0:UtcTime	It is the time when the joining process 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 joining process.	True
Description	0:LocalizedText	It is the description of the joining process.	True
JoiningTechnology	0:LocalizedText	It is a human readable text to identify the joining technology.	True
Classification	0:Int16	It is the classification of the joining process. < 0 is for vendor specific extensions. 0 – UNDEFINED 1 – OTHER 2 – JOINING_PROGRAM 3 – JOINING_SYNC 4 – JOINING_BATCH 5 – JOINING_JOB	True
AssociatedEntities	EntityDataType[]	It is the list of entities associated to the joining process. Examples: ProductInstanceUri of the Controller.	True

Its representation in the AddressSpace is defined in Table 247.
