OPC UA Servers can support several different functionalities and capabilities. The following standard Objects are used to expose these capabilities in a common fashion, and there are several standard defined concepts that can be extended by vendors.

The AggregateConfigurationType defines the general characteristics of a Node that defines the Aggregate configuration of any Variable or Property. AggregateConfiguration Object represents the browse entry point for information on how the Server treats Aggregate specific functionality such as handling Uncertain data. It is formally defined in Table 2.

The TreatUncertainAsBad Variable indicates how the Server treats data returned with a StatusCode severity Uncertain with respect to Aggregate calculations. A value of True indicates the Server considers the severity equivalent to Bad, a value of False indicates the Server considers the severity equivalent to Good, unless the Aggregate definition says otherwise. The default value is True. Note that the value is still treated as Uncertain when the StatusCode for the result is calculated.

The PercentDataBad Variable indicates the minimum percentage of Bad data in a given interval required for the StatusCode for the given interval for processed data request to be set to Bad. (Uncertain is treated as defined above.) Refer to 5.4.3 for details on using this Variable when assigning StatusCodes. For details on which Aggregates use the PercentDataBad Variable, see the definition of each Aggregate. The default value is 100.

The PercentDataGood Variable indicates the minimum percentage of Good data in a given interval required for the StatusCode for the given interval for the processed data requests to be set to Good. Refer to 5.4.3 for details on using this Variable when assigning StatusCodes. For details on which Aggregates use the PercentDataGood Variable, see the definition of each Aggregate. The default value is 100.

The following calculations are used to detemine the StatusCode which will be used to calculate the value of the aggregate. Refer to 5.4.3 for details on using these Variables when assigning StatusCodes. The PercentDataGood and PercentDataBad shall follow the following relationship PercentDataGood ≥ (100 – PercentDataBad). If they are equal the result of the PercentDataGood calculation is used. If the values entered for PercentDataGood and PercentDataBad do not result in a valid calculation (e.g. Bad = 80; Good = 0) the result will have a StatusCode of Bad_AggregateInvalidInputs The StatusCode Bad_AggregateInvalidInputs will be returned if the value of PercentDataGood or PercentDataBad exceed 100.

The UseSlopedExtrapolation Variable indicates how the Server interpolates data when no boundary value exists (i.e. extrapolating into the future from the last known value). A value of False indicates that the Server will use a SteppedExtrapolation format, and hold the last known value constant. A value of True indicates the Server will project the value using UseSlopedExtrapolation mode. The default value is False. For SimpleBounds this value is ignored.
