PROFINET - 6.3.4 OPC UA Event Types

This event type is used for PROFINET diagnosis events.

HasProperty	Variable	Maintenance	PnChannelMaintenanceEnumeration	PropertyType	Optional
HasProperty	Variable	Specifier	PnChannelSpecifierEnumeration	PropertyType	Mandatory
HasProperty	Variable	Direction	PnChannelDirectionEnumeration	PropertyType	Mandatory
HasProperty	Variable	UserStructureIdentifier	UInt16	PropertyType	Mandatory
HasProperty	Variable	ChannelErrorType	UInt16	PropertyType	Mandatory
HasProperty	Variable	ExtChannelErrorType	UInt16	PropertyType	Optional
HasProperty	Variable	ExtChannelAddValue	UInt32	PropertyType	Optional
HasProperty	Variable	QualifiedChannelQualifier	UInt32	PropertyType	Optional
HasProperty	Variable	ManufacturerData	ByteString	PropertyType	Optional
HasProperty	Variable	HelpText	LocalizedText	PropertyType	Optional

If the variable UserStructureIdentifier indicates manufacturer specific diagnosis information, the variable ManufacturerData contains the manufacturer specific diagnosis data.

The Message variable of the Event and the HelpText variable are retrieved from the GSDML file. If the message includes a dynamic format string, this is replaced by the ExtChannelAddValue.

For an active alarm the Severity variable of the Event must be dependent on the Maintenance and the QualifiedChannelQualifier variables.

The Severity is divided into the 4 categories shown in the following table:

Category	Severity Range
Fault	750 – 1000
Maintenance demanded	500 – 749
Maintenance required	250 – 499
Advise	2 – 249

If the Maintenance variable is provided, the following mapping is used for the Severity value:

Maintenance	Severity
FAULT	1000
MAINTENANCE_DEMANDED	612
MAINTENANCE_REQUIRED	362

If the QualifiedChannelQualifier is provided, the Severity value depends on the bit set in the UInt32 value of the QualifiedChannelQualifier. The bits 0 – 2 are not used.

The following mapping is used for the Severity value:

Bit	Severity
31	1000
30	937
29	875
28	812
27	750
26	725
25	700
24	675

6.3.4.2 PnAssetChangedEventType

This event is fired when a new asset (controller, device, real module, real submodule or asset) is detected, an asset was removed, or the data of an asset changed. The event is fired on the object with the change.

An asset change for a device, real module or real submodule means that its I&M data (PnIdentificationType) has changed. See section 5.3.2.6 “Asset change detection” for details.

IsAbstract	False

Subtype of BaseEventType defined in [OPC 10000-5].
HasProperty	Variable	AssetType	PnAssetTypeEnumeration	PropertyType	Mandatory
HasProperty	Variable	AssetChange	PnAssetChangeEnumeration	PropertyType	Mandatory

The SourceNode variable of the event includes the NodeId of the asset object.

The Severity variable shall be set according to the following table.

Severity	Cause
10	Minor important asset detected
20	Normal important asset detected
30	Asset of vital importance detected
110	Minor important asset changed
120	Normal important asset changed
130	Asset of vital importance changed
1100	Minor important asset removed
1200	Normal important asset removed
1300	Asset of vital importance removed

6.3.4.3 PnTopologyChangedEventType

This event is fired when the CommLinkTo reference between two EthernetPortType objects is created, removed or changed. The event is fired by the PnPortType object.

This means that the physical network topology has changed.

The Severity variable (inherited from BaseEventType) shall be set to 1.
