7.4.3.44 IfcProtectiveDeviceType

7.4.3.44.1 Semantic definition

The flow controller type IfcProtectiveDeviceType defines commonly shared information for occurrences of protective devices. The set of shared information may include:

  • common properties with shared property sets
  • common representations
  • common materials
  • common composition of elements
  • common ports

It is used to define a protective device type specification indicating the specific product information that is common to all occurrences of that product type. The IfcProtectiveDeviceType may be declared within IfcProject or IfcProjectLibrary using IfcRelDeclares and may be exchanged with or without occurrences of the type. Occurrences of IfcProtectiveDeviceType are represented by instances of IfcProtectiveDevice. Refer to the documentation at IfcProtectiveDevice for supported property sets, materials, composition, and ports.
