7.4.3.39 IfcOutlet

7.4.3.39.1 Semantic definition

An outlet is a device installed at a point to receive one or more inserted plugs for electrical power or communications.

Power outlets are commonly connected within a junction box; data outlets may be directly connected to a wall. For power outlets sharing the same circuit within a junction box, the ports should indicate the logical wiring relationship to the enclosing junction box, even though they may be physically connected to a cable going to another outlet, switch, or fixture.

7.4.3.39.4 Formal propositions

Name Description
CorrectPredefinedType

Either the PredefinedType attribute is unset (e.g. because an IfcOutletType is associated), or the inherited attribute ObjectType shall be provided, if the PredefinedType is set to USERDEFINED.

NOT(EXISTS(PredefinedType)) OR
(PredefinedType <> IfcOutletTypeEnum.USERDEFINED) OR
((PredefinedType = IfcOutletTypeEnum.USERDEFINED) AND EXISTS (SELF\IfcObject.ObjectType))
CorrectTypeAssigned

Either there is no outlet type object associated, i.e. the IsTypedBy inverse relationship is not provided, or the associated type object has to be of type IfcOutletType.

(SIZEOF(IsTypedBy) = 0) OR
('IFC4X3_DEV_738df036.IFCOUTLETTYPE' IN TYPEOF(SELF\IfcObject.IsTypedBy[1].RelatingType))
