OPC UA ObjectTypes – OPC UA for Cutting Tools

7 OPC UA ObjectTypes

7.1 ToolManufacturingMachineType ObjectType Definition

The ToolManufacturingMachineType represents the tool manufacturing machine interface of the information model. It is the entry point to the OPC UA interface of a tool manufacturing machine. It gives a basic structure to the interface. An instance of this type aggregates all information related to one system.

All instances of ToolManufacturingMachineType have to be referenced from the 3:Machines node defined in . At least one ToolManufacturingMachineType instance shall be present to qualify for any manufacturing machine profile of OPC 40504.

The ToolManufacturingMachineType and is formally defined in Table 15.

The components of the ToolManufacturingMachineType have additional subcomponents which are defined in Table 16.

The 0:FileSystem is the root of all file directories of the OPC UA and the underlying machine.

7.2 ToolMeasuringMachineType ObjectType Definition

The ToolMeasuringMachineType represents the measuring machine interface of the information model. It is the entry point to the OPC UA interface of a Tool Measuring Machine. It gives a basic structure to the interface. An instance of this type aggregates all information related to one system.

All instances of ToolMeasuringMachineType have to be referenced from the 3:Machines node defined in . At least one ToolMeasuringMachineType instance shall be present to qualify for any measuring machine profile of OPC 40504.

The ToolMeasuringMachineType is formally defined in Table 17.

The 0:FileSystem is the root of all file directories of the OPC UA and the underlying machine.

7.3 CuttingToolFileType ObjectType Definition

The CuttingToolFileType provides metadata of the standardized file that it represents on the OPC UA server.

It is formally defined in Table 19.
