The Type PowerlinkDeviceType is a subtype of DeviceType defined in OPC 10000-100, which mandates a list of Properties for the Device.

Table 16 defines the values for these Properties based on the POWERLINK Objects of the implemented POWERLINK interface. If a PowerlinkDeviceType implements more than one POWERLINK interface, the selection of the interface as source for these objects is device specific.
