Numeric Event Types

Numeric event types have a numeric value. The driver supports the four data types Float, Double, Int32 and UInt32 for numeric events. The predefined numeric event type set which comes with the MTConnect server installation includes all numeric event types defined in MTConnect Standard version 1.4. The complete list of the predefined numeric event types you can find in topic Supported MTConnect Standard.

Type Name

The name of the event type as defined in the MTConnect standard. This name must match exactly the type name in the MTConnect standard. If a type has one or multiple sub types, then multiple entries have to be defined, one for each type/sub type pair.

Sub Type Name

The name of the event sub type as defined in the MTConnect standard. This name must match exactly the type name in the MTConnect standard. If no sub type is specified in the MTConnect standard then this field has to be empty.
