This document (OPC 40701) specifies a Companion Specification for Surface Technology - Cleaning and Pretreatment machinery.

A cleaning and pretreatment system in this context can be any existing or future cleaning and pretreatment system. The implicit and explicit information model specified by the cleaning and pretreatment system Companion Specification will be defined as a UA companion specification using OPC UA constructs for the purpose of exchanging cleaning and pretreatment system information with OPC UA applications. It defines the required data structures, parameters, methods, state machines etc. for the communication among cleaning and pretreatment systems, between cleaning and pretreatment systems and supporting systems and from cleaning and pretreatment systems into higher level manufacturing systems (e.g. Manufacturing Execution System, MES), for information and diagnostic purposes and to set parameters regarding the cleaning and pretreatment system operation.
