Profiles and Conformance Units – OPC UA for Mining

10 Profiles and Conformance Units

This chapter defines the corresponding profiles and conformance units for the OPC UA Information Model for OPC 40560. Profiles are named groupings of conformance units. Facets are profiles that will be combined with other Profiles to define the complete functionality of an OPC UA Server or Client. The following tables specify the facets available for Servers that implement the OPC 40560 Information Model companion specification.

NOTE: The names of the supported profiles are available in the Server Object under ServerCapabilities.ServerProfileArray.

10.1 Conformance Units

Table 20 defines the corresponding Conformance Units for the OPC UA Information Model for Mining- General.

Table 20 – Conformance Units for OPC 40560: Mining-General

Category	Title	Description
Server	Mining General Equipment Identification Meta-Information	Supports the MiningEquipmentIdentificationType type definition.
Server	Mining General Equipment Component	Supports the MiningEquipmentType type definition.
Client	Mining General Equipment Identification Meta-Information Client Query	Supports querying variable instance declarations of type MiningEquipmentIdentificationType.
Client	Mining General Equipment Component Client Query	Supports querying variable instance declarations of type MiningEquipmentType.

10.2.2 Server Facets

10.2.2.1 Overview

The following sections specify the Facets available for Servers that implement the OPC 40560: OPC UA for Mining - General companion specification. Each section defines and describes a Facet or Profile.

10.2.2.2 Mining Core Server Facet

Table 22 defines a Facet that describes the fundamental base functionalities an OPC UA Server is expected to possess for serving OPC UA Mining Information Models. However, this will not allow to serve meaningful OPC UA CS Mining Information Models and purely serves to describe the fundamental Profiles and Facets required for basic Server operation. This Facet also includes Facets from other OPC UA Companion Specifications.

10.2.2.3 Mining Base Server Profile

Table 23 defines a Profile that describes the functionalities of an OPC UA Server that is used to serve OPC UA CS Mining Information Models. Servers complying to this Profile can be used to serve OPC UA CS Mining Information Models.

Table 23 – Mining Base Server Profile

Group	Conformance Unit / Profile Title	Mandatory / Optional
Profile	Mining Core Server Facet	M
Profile	Mining Identification Facet	M
Profile	Mining Equipment Facet	M

10.2.2.4 Mining Identification Server Facet

Table 24 defines a Facet that describes the functionalities an OPC UA CS Mining Server is expected to possess in regards to being able to serve meta-information of Object instances. This includes all information provided by the MiningEquipmentIdentificationType which is part of the MiningEquipmentType definition provided in Chapter 7.1.

10.2.2.5 Mining Equipment Server Facet

Table 25 defines a Facet that describes the functionalities an OPC UA CS Mining Server is expected to possess in regards to being able to serve a component recursion of Object instances. Specifically, this is referring to the Components Instance-Declaration of the MiningEquipmentType definition provided in Chapter 7.1.

10.2.3 Client Facets

10.2.3.1 Overview

The following tables specify the Facets available for Clients that implement the OPC 40560: Mining General companion specification.

10.2.3.2 Mining Core Client Facet

Table 26 defines a Facet that describes the base characteristics for all OPC UA Clients that make use of this companion specification. Additional Facet will define support for various information models that are part of this document. This Facet also includes Facet from other OPC UA Companion Specifications.

10.2.3.3 Mining Base Client Profile

Table 27 – Mining Base Client Profile defines a Facet that describes the functionalities of an OPC UA Client that is used to query an OPC UA Server that has implemented the Mining Server Profile.

Table 27 – Mining Base Client Profile

Group	Conformance Unit / Profile Title	Mandatory / Optional
Profile	Mining Core Client Facet	M
Profile	Mining Identification Client Facet	M
Profile	Mining Equipment Client Facet	M

10.2.3.4 Mining Identification Client Facet

Table 28 defines a Profile that describes the functionalities an OPC UA CS Mining Client is expected to possess in regards to being able to query meta-information provided by Object instances on the Server. This includes all information provided by the MiningEquipmentIdentificationType which is part of the MiningEquipmentType definition provided in Chapter 7.1.

10.2.3.5 Mining Equipment Client Facet

Table 29 defines a Profile that describes the functionalities of an OPC UA CS Mining Client to query information provided by an OPC UA CS Mining Server serving a component recursion of Object instances. Specifically, this is referring to the Components Instance-Declaration of the MiningEquipmentType definition provided in Chapter 7.1.
