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.

MachineProperties is representing a collection of static information that are assigned 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 BeltType have additional references which are defined in Table 33.

BeltSection is a defined segment of the conveyor belt.

BeltSplice is a joint or connection between two ends of the belt.

BeltPosition is the longitudinal location of a specific point or feature on the belt along its travel path.

BeltSideDeflectionLeft is the deviation of the belt edge toward the left side from the centerline (belt misalignment).

BeltSideDeflectionRight is the deviation of the belt edge toward the right side from the centerline (belt misalignment).

BeltTension is the force within the belt.

BeltPreTension is the preset tension applied to the belt before operation.

BeltWidth is the overall width of the conveyor belt.

BeltThickness is the total thickness of the conveyor belt, including cover and carcass layers.
