This ObjectType implements the configurable component pattern and is used when an Object or an instance declaration requires nothing but configuration capability. Figure 57 illustrates the ConfigurableObjectType. It is formally defined in Table 142. Concrete examples are in clauses 9.3 and 9.4.

The configured instances shall be components of the ConfigurableObject.
