DI Components
Each PLC namespace on the server contains a number of nodes that can be used to specify static meta-information about the PLC. This optional information can be specified in the TcUaDaConfig.xml for each namespace.
The following table provides more information about these nodes. The concrete value assignments of the individual nodes can be application-specific to a large extent, therefore only example values are used in the delivery state of the server. The server itself makes these nodes available in its namespace, but does not independently change their value assignments.
Node | Description |
|---|---|
DeviceManual | Allows you to specify an address where the device manual can be found, e.g. a path in the file system or a web address. |
DeviceRevision | Contains the revision level of a hardware component or the entire device. |
HardwareRevision | Contains the revision level of the hardware. |
Manufacturer | Contains the name of the device manufacturer, usually as FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name), e.g. beckhoff.com. |
Model | Includes the name of the "product" (if applicable). |
RevisionCounter | May include a counter of how many times the configuration of the device has been updated. |
SerialNumber | Unique serial number of the device, as assigned by the device manufacturer. |
SoftwareRevision | Contains the version or revision level of the software component, the firmware of a hardware component or even the firmware of the device. |
