Description

For many types of equipment, Path organizes a set of Axes, one or more Program elements, and the data associated with the motion of a control point as it moves through space. However, it MAY also represent any independent function within a Controller that has unique data associated with that function.

Path SHOULD provide an Execution data item to define the operational state of the Controller of the piece of equipment.

If the Controller is capable of performing more than one independent operation or function simultaneously, a separate Path MUST be used to organize the data associated with each independent operation or function.

Inherited Properties

NameTypeIntDepMultiplicityDescription
id ID1.11 unique identifier for the Component.
name string1.10..1

name of the Component.

When provided, Component::name MUST be unique for all child Component entities of a parent Component.

nativeName string1.10..1 common name associated with Component.
sampleInterval float1.20..1

interval in milliseconds between the completion of the reading of the data associated with the 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 Component is expected to be refreshed.

The refresh rate for data from all child Component entities will be the same as for the parent Component element unless specifically overridden by another Component::sampleInterval provided for the child Component.

sampleRate float1.11.20..1 DEPRECATED in MTConnect Version 1.2. Replaced by Component::sampleInterval.
uuid UUID1.10..1 universally unique identifier for the Component.
coordinateSystemIdRef ID1.80..1 specifies the CoordinateSystem for this Component and its children.
