since the beginning of January 2021 we’ve been working together with the OPC UA mining working group of the German mechanical industry Association (VDMA on publishing an OPC UA companion specification mining. Part of this is a model that contains the IREDES definitions. During these activities we’ve also developed a converter and that is able to transform IREDES XML data into a OPC UA compatible format to assure formal consistency of the IREDES defined content with the OPC UA transport. At the moment we have developed a LHD/truck OPC UA model and the specification itself is in the Publishing process.
