Compressed Air Systems - Main Control System - 7.3 ComponentsGroupType ObjectType Definition

The ComponentsGroupType enables the grouping of Components and can be nested. It is illustrated in Figure 18 and formally defined in Table 15.

The OptionalPlaceholder Object <ComponentsGroup> allows nesting this ObjectType to further categorize the referenced Components. It also allows adding concrete Component groups not defined by this specification.

The InstanceDeclarations of the ComponentsGroupType have additional Attributes defined in Table 16.
