8.3.3.2 PhysicalAssetClassType

The PhysicalAssetClassType is a concrete ObjectType that can be used directly. It is a subtype of ISA95ClassType defined in 6.7.1.

This ObjectType indicates a grouping of Physical Assets with similar characteristics for a definite purpose such as manufacturing operations definition, scheduling, capability and performance. An Object of PhysicalAssetClassType may be associated with an instance of a PhysicalAssetCapabilityTestSpecificationType. It is expected that subtypes of the PhysicalAssetClassType will be created that represent a particular class of physical asset. These subtypes will have their own set of instances of PhysicalAssetClassPropertyTypes and PhysicalAssetCapabilityTestSpecificationTypes
