Description

Typical types of controllers for a piece of equipment include CNC (Computer Numerical Control), PAC (Programmable Automation Control), IPC (Industrialized Computer), or IC (Imbedded Computer).

Note: In XML representation, Controller is a top levelelement that represents the most significant physical or logical functions of a piece of equipment. element.

Inherited from «abstract» `System`

Properties

Name	Type	Int	Dep	Multiplicity	Description
`id`	`ID`	1.1		1	unique identifier for the «abstract» `Component`.
`name`	`string`	1.1		0..1	name of the «abstract» `Component`. When provided, `::name` MUST be unique for all child «abstract» `Component` entities of a parent «abstract» `Component`.
`nativeName`	`string`	1.1		0..1	common name associated with «abstract» `Component`.
`sampleInterval`	`float`	1.2		0..1	interval in milliseconds between the completion of the reading of the data associated with the «abstract» `Component` until the beginning of the next sampling of that data. This information may be used by client software applications to understand how often information from a «abstract» `Component` is expected to be refreshed. The refresh rate for data from all child «abstract» `Component` entities will be the same as for the parent «abstract» `Component` element unless specifically overridden by another `::sampleInterval` provided for the child «abstract» `Component`.
~~`sampleRate`~~	`float`	1.1	1.2	0..1	DEPRECATED in MTConnect Version 1.2. Replaced by `::sampleInterval,Component`.
`uuid`	`ID`	1.1		0..1	universally unique identifier for the «abstract» `Component`.
`coordinateSystemIdRef`	`ID`	1.8		0..1	specifies the `CoordinateSystem` for this «abstract» `Component` and its children.
