MiningEquipmentIdentification represents numerous identification features of a mining equipment. It is a subtype of the 4:MachineIdentificationType.
Components represents a collection of all identifiable components contained below this Object.
Monitoring represents a collection of ObjectTypes and VariableTypes, representing the current state of the process, that are not assigned to a component but to this Object.
MachineryBuildingBlocks is representing a folder that directly references all those building blocks of the OPC UA for Machinery (OPC 40001-1, OPC 40001-3) which are implemented as an add-in.
The components of the BeltConveyorType have additional references which are defined in Table 2.

DriveController is responsible for managing the operation of drive components, such as motors, brakes and fluid couplings, to start, stop, and regulate the speed and tension of the conveyor.
ConveyorDrive is a representation of the drive of the conveyor belt and all its associated data.
ConveyorBrake is a representation of the brake of the conveyor belt and all its associated data.
Belt is a representation of the whole belt in the conveyor involving all sections and splices.
Pulley is a rotating component that drives or redirects the belt, typically at the head or tail of the conveyor.
BeltScale is a weighing system used for the continuous measurement and recording of the mass flow of bulk materials on a conveyor belt.
WeatherStation is a sensor system that monitors environmental conditions such as temperature, wind, and precipitation near the conveyor.
Scraper is a cleaning device that removes bulk material from conveyor belts and prevents buildup on the belt.
Idler is a representation of in idler, which has at least one ConveyorRoll that supports and guides the belt.
BeltConveyorStateMachine is used to define the different states of the conveyor system which can occur during operation.
