The parameter PublisherId defines the Publisher to receive NetworkMessages from.

If the value is null, the parameter shall be ignored and all received NetworkMessages pass the PublisherId filter.

Valid DataTypes are UInteger and String.

The parameter WriterGroupId with DataType UInt16 defines the identifier of the corresponding WriterGroup.

The default value 0 is defined as null value, and means this parameter shall be ignored.

The parameter DataSetWriterId with DataType UInt16 defines the DataSet selected in the Publisher for the DataSetReader.

If the value is 0 (null), the parameter shall be ignored and all received DataSetMessages pass the DataSetWriterId filter.

The parameter DataSetMetaData provides the information necessary to decode DataSetMessages from the Publisher. If the DataSetMetaData changes in the Publisher and the MajorVersion was changed, the DataSetReader needs an update of the DataSetMetaData for further operation. If the update cannot be retrieved in the duration of the MessageReceiveTimeout, the State of the DataSetReader shall change to Error. The related PublishedDataSet is defined in 0. The DataSetMetaDataType is defined in 6.2.3.2.3. The options for retrieving the update of the DataSetMetaData are described in 5.2.3.

If the DataSetMetaData contains an empty fields array, the DataSetReader is configured to receive heartbeat DataSetMessages. For heartbeat DataSetMessages the majorVersion and minorVersion in the configurationVersion shall always be 0 in the configuration and in the DataSetMessages.

The parameter DataSetFieldContentMask with DataType DataSetFieldContentMask indicates the fields of a DataValue included in the DataSetMessages. The parameter shall be ignored for heartbeat messages.

The DataSetFieldContentMask DataType is defined in 6.2.4.2.

The parameter MessageReceiveTimeout is the maximum acceptable time between two DataSetMessages. The time starts when the state of the DataSetReader changes to Operational. If there is no new DataSetMessage received within this period, the DataSetReader State shall be changed to Error until the next DataSetMessage is received. The DataSetMessages that reset the period include keep-alive and heartbeat messages. A DataSetMessage is considered new if the sequence number increments or if a new keep-alive message is received. If no sequence number is contained in the DataSetMessage, each received DataSetMessage is considered new.

The MessageReceiveTimeout is related to the Publisher side parameters PublishingInterval, KeepAliveTime and KeyFrameCount.

The KeyFrameCount with DataType UInt32 is the multiplier of the PublishingInterval that defines the maximum number of times the PublishingInterval expires before a key frame message, with all field values, is received.

For DataSets that provide cyclic updates, the value shall be greater than or equal to 1. For non-cyclic DataSets, like PublishedEvents, that provide event based DataSets, the value shall be 0.

The HeaderLayoutUri, with DataType String, defines the selection of a well defined configuration for a subset of the PubSub communication parameters. The affected subset is defined by the header layout.

A null or empty String is defined as no layout selected.

If a layout is selected, all affected parameters shall be set to the values defined for the layout.

Available layouts and the corresponding URI Strings are defined in Annex A.

The parameter is defined in 6.2.5.2.

This parameter overwrites the corresponding setting on the ReaderGroup if the value is not INVALID.

The parameter is defined in 6.2.5.3.

The parameter shall be null if the SecurityMode is INVALID.

The parameter is defined in 6.2.5.4.

The parameter shall be null if the SecurityMode is INVALID.

The parameter is only used to overwrite the SecurityKeyServices parameter of the ReaderGroup if the SKS is different for the DataSetReader.

The DataSetReaderProperties parameter is an array of DataType KeyValuePair that specifies additional properties for the configured DataSetReader. The KeyValuePair DataType is defined in OPC 10000-5 and consists of a QualifiedName and a value of BaseDataType.

The mapping of the name and value to concrete functionality may be defined by transport protocol mappings, future versions of this document or vendor-specific extensions.

This Structure DataType is used to represent the DataSetReader parameters. The DataSetReaderDataType is formally defined in Table 50.
