Devices - 5.6 ComponentType

5.6 ComponentType

Compared to DeviceType the ComponentType is more universal. It includes the same components but does not mandate any Properties. This makes it usable for representation of a Device or parts of a Device. Parts include both mechanical and software parts.

The ComponentType applies the VendorNameplate and the TagNameplate Interface. Figure 12 Illustrates the ComponentType. It is formally defined in Table 25.

The ComponentType is abstract. DeviceType and SoftwareType are subtypes of ComponentType. There will be no instances of a ComponentType itself, only of concrete subtypes.

IVendorNameplateType and its members are described in 5.5.2.

ITagNameplateType and its members are described in 5.5.3.
