This ReferenceType can be used to expose the relation between a hardware component and its subcomponent. It indicates that the subcomponent is inside the component. To gain access to the subcomponent typically removing a part of the component (e.g. a hatch) is necessary. For example, it can be used to relate a PC to a PCI board plugged inside the PC. The PCI board is accessible after removing the PC housing. It can also be used to relate a PLC to its CPU, which is hard wired to the PLC, or a network module to its Ethernet PHYs.
The HasContainedComponent is a concrete ReferenceType and can be used directly. It is a subtype of HasPhysicalComponent.
The semantic of this ReferenceType is to relate a hardware component to its subcomponent that is inside the component.
The SourceNode of References of this ReferenceType shall be an Object or ObjectType representing a piece of hardware.
The TargetNode of References of this ReferenceType shall be an Object representing a piece of hardware that is a component of the SourceNode.
HasContainedComponent is formally defined in Table 12.
