Wrong namespace of some new nodes in the UaModeler V1.3

Post by ChSch »

Hi,

I used the UaModeler V1.2 to model the FDI (Field Device Integration) Information Model.
Now I try the UaModeler V1.3 and I can see that you also introduced some FDI Nodes like NetworkSet, DeviceTopology, ConnectionPointType, ...

In the FDI Specification Part 5: Annex A is under "Namespace and Mappings" the following written:
The namespace for all nodes defined in this document is “http://fdi-cooperation.com/OpcUa/FDI-2025/”. The NodeIds for the defined nodes are composed of this namespace and a numeric identifier for the Node.
But your FDI Nodes use the OPC UA DI namespace instead of the FDI namespace.
As a result, I have two versions of the some nodes in the address space. For example "NetworkSet" in "http://opcfoundation.org/UA/DI/" and in “http://fdi-cooperation.com/OpcUa/FDI-2025/

So, how much did you integrate the upcoming FDI model so far? And what can I do with the different namespaces?

Best Regards

Hello,

We downloaded the FDI Specification from the OPC Foundation website.
Having a look at IEC62769-5_preCDV_FDI_information model [RC 1.0.0].pdf we found:

1 Scope
The fundamental types for the FDI Information Model are well defined in OPC UA for Devices (UA Part DI).

6 AddressSpace Organization
The entry points DeviceSet, NetworkSet, DeviceTopology, and CommunicationDevices are formally defined in UA Part DI.

So the nodes are defined correctly in DI namespace. The nodes must not be defined twice.

We updated the DI namespace model with UaModeler 1.3. Some additional nodes (like NetworkSet) have been added to the DI model.

Best regards

Yes you are right. In the old UaModeler, I wasn't able to select the DI namespace for nodes like "NetworkSet" that are defined in the DI Spec and used in FDI, so I added them to the FDI space as a temporary solution and forgot this fact…

So your OPC UA for Devices address space is updated to the DI Specification from July 25, 2013 and nothing is wrong with the namespace of some new nodes in the UaModeler V1.3.

Thank you for always such fast answers :)
