UA Part 13: Aggregates - 4.2.2 AggregateFunction Object

This Object is used as the browse entry point for information about the Aggregates supported by a Server. The content of this Object is already defined by its type definition. All Instances of the FolderType use the standard BrowseName of ‘AggregateFunctions’. The HasComponent Reference is used to relate a ServerCapabilities Object and/or any HistoryServerCapabilitiesType Object to an AggregateFunction Object. AggregateFunctions is formally defined in Table 3.

Each ServerCapabilities and HistoryServerCapabilitiesType Object shall reference an AggregateFunction Object. In addition, each HistoricalConfiguration Object belonging to a HistoricalDataNode may reference an AggregateFunction Object using the HasComponent Reference.

4.2.2.2 AggregateFunctionType

This ObjectType defines an Aggregate supported by a UA Server. This Object is formally defined in Table 4.

For the AggregateFunctionType, the Description Attribute (inherited from the Base NodeClass), is mandatory. The Description Attribute provides a localized description of the Aggregate.

Table 5 specifies the BrowseName and Description Attributes for the standard Aggregate Objects. The description is the localized “en” text. For other locales it shall be translated.

BrowseName	Description
Interpolative	At the beginning of each interval, retrieve the calculated value from the data points on either side of the requested timestamp.
Average	Retrieve the average value of the data over the interval.
TimeAverage	Retrieve the time weighted average data over the interval using Interpolated Bounding Values.

PercentGood	Retrieve the percentage of data (0 to 100) in the interval which has Good StatusCode.
PercentBad	Retrieve the percentage of data (0 to 100) in the interval which has Bad StatusCode.
WorstQuality	Retrieve the worst StatusCode of data in the interval.
WorstQuality2	Retrieve the worst StatusCode of data in the interval including the Simple Bounding Values.
AnnotationCount	Retrieve the number of Annotations in the interval (applies to Historical Aggregates only).
