IEC1346 levels and two fixed transitions

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

In this IEC1346 implementation, three aspects are used:

 

Function (=)

Location (+)

Product (-)

 

Function is sometimes referred to as “plant”, which is the name that was used in the old IEC750 standard, which was the predecessor of today’s IEC1346.

 

Both function and location may consist of multiple levels.

 

Between function and location, and between location and product, a so-called transition occurs, when you go from one aspect to another.

 

A typical item designation could look like this:

 

=A1=B5=F1+C3+S1-K1

 

In this case, the function is divided in three levels, while the location is divided in two.

 

In the dialogues of cadett ELSA, the function is typically specified in the Plant attribute, while location is specified in the Location attribute. Product is typically specified in the Designation attribute.
