8.2 Management of WorkMaster and WorkMaster files

The WorkMasterID field of the 6:ISA95JobOrderDataType contains the information about the work master (e.g., the cutting tool file). The field ID is an identification of the work master. This should be used to identify a work master across different OPC UA Servers and must be unique in its scope (e.g., company unique).

This specification uses the 0:FileSystem folder to manage (e.g., store/retrieve files) the work master files on the server. To connect the WorkMasterID with the file additional predefined key-value pairs for 6:ISA95WorkMasterDataType.Parameter are defined in Table 20.
