OPC UA ObjectTypes – OPC UA for Joining Systems

7 OPC UA ObjectTypes

7.1 JoiningSystemType ObjectType definition

7.1.1 Overview

The JoiningSystemType provides the overview of the information exposed from a given joining system.

Note:

An instance of the JoiningSystemType does not represent a specific asset. It is a container which represents an entry point for assets, results, etc. in the joining system.

An instance of a JoiningSystemType can be associated with other joining systems using AssociatedWith or any other reference type. It can be useful when there is an aggregation of multiple joining systems.

It is formally defined in Table 15.

7.3 Joining System Asset Overview

7.3.1 Overview

Figure 10 – Overview of Joining System Asset

7.3.2 IJoiningSystemAssetType InterfaceType Definition

This is a generic interface common for all assets in the Joining System. The purpose of this interface is to provide the common information (Example: Identification, Health, Maintenance, etc.) of all the assets in a standardized way.

This interface has a standard MachineryItemIdentificationType add-in which can be assigned with MachineIdentificationType or MachineryComponentIdentificationType for an asset based on the requirement of the system.

Note: In a Joining System, Controller and Tool instances are generally considered as Machines and other assets can be modelled as components.

To determine if an asset is classified as Machine or Component is flexible and that is achieved using base add-in from OPC UA for Machinery specification MachineryItemIdentificationType which can be specialized using MachineIdentificationType or MachineryComponentIdentificationType.

The 2:Identification Object includes parameters from MachineryItemIdentificationType (which can be specialized to MachineIdentificationType or MachineryComponentIdentificationType) defined in .OPC 40001-1 It also implements IJoiningAdditionalInformationType.
