The SupportedPropertyType provides argument names and links to variables within the information model, typically target values or parameters of Functions. This makes it possible to specify a list of KeyValueTypess as an input object. It is formally defined in Table 67.

The SupportedPropertyType is used in the SupportedPropertiesSet of the FunctionalUnit. The name of each Argument object is used as a key in the KeyValueType list input Argument of the Start()/StartFunctions() Method. Each Argument object should contain an Organizes Reference to the target variable to which it belongs. Thus, the metadata of the target variable can be introspected online. The name of the SupportedProperty object is typically an argument name for a variable in the Device.
