IfcDistributionSystemEnum

Semantic definitions at the type

Type definition

This enumeration identifies different types of distribution systems. It is used to designate systems by their function as well as ports of devices within such systems to restrict connectivity to compatible connections.

HISTORY New enumeration in IFC4.

Ports for cable carriers may be connected using IfcCableCarrierSegment and IfcCableCarrierFitting. Type objects for cable carrier segments and fittings (IfcCableCarrierSegmentType and IfcCableCarrierFittingType that are not specific to a particular system type may have ports with PredefinedType of NOTDEFINED which indicates that occurrences of such objects may connect to ports of any other cable-carrier based port. Valid enumerations for cable carriers are the same as that for cables, and may be asserted if ports of the contained cables are all of the same type.

Enumeration definition

Constant	Description

CONTROL	A transport or network dedicated to control system usage.
CONVEYING	Arbitrary supply of substances.
DATA	A network having general-purpose usage.
DISPOSAL	Arbitrary disposal of substances.
DOMESTICCOLDWATER	Unheated potable water distribution system.
DOMESTICHOTWATER	Heated potable water distribution system.
DRAINAGE	Drainage collection system.
EARTHING	A path for equipotential bonding, conducting current to the ground.
ELECTRICAL	A circuit for delivering electrical power.
ELECTROACOUSTIC	An amplified audio signal such as for loudspeakers.
EXHAUST	Exhaust air collection system for removing stale or noxious air from one or more spaces.
FIREPROTECTION	Active fire protection for detecting, stopping and escaping fire.
FUEL	Arbitrary supply of fuel.
GAS	Gas-phase materials such as methane or natural gas.
HAZARDOUS	Hazardous material or fluid collection system.
HEATING	Water or steam heated from a boiler and circulated through radiators.
LIGHTING	A circuit dedicated for lighting, such as a fixture having sockets for lamps.
LIGHTNINGPROTECTION	A path for conducting lightning current to the ground.
MUNICIPALSOLIDWASTE	Items consumed and discarded, commonly known as trash or garbage.
OIL	Oil distribution system.
OPERATIONAL	Operating supplies system.
POWERGENERATION	A path for power generation.
RAINWATER	Rainwater resulting from precipitation which directly falls on a parcel.
REFRIGERATION	Refrigerant distribution system for purposes of fulfilling all or parts of a refrigeration cycle.
SECURITY	A transport or network dedicated to security system usage.
SEWAGE	Sewage collection system.
SIGNAL	A raw analog signal, such as modulated data or measurements from sensors.
STORMWATER	Stormwater resulting from precipitation which runs off or travels over the ground surface.
TELEPHONE	A transport or network dedicated to telephone system usage.
TV	A transport of multiple media sources such as analog cable TV, satellite TV, or over-the-air TV.
VACUUM	Vacuum distribution system.
VENT	Vent system for wastewater piping systems.
VENTILATION	Ventilation air distribution system involved in either the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within a building.
WASTEWATER	Water adversely affected in quality by anthropogenic influence, possibly originating from sewage, drainage, or other source.
WATERSUPPLY	Arbitrary water supply.
CATENARY_SYSTEM	A longitudinal distribution system that supports contact wires, including catenary wire droppers and stich wires.
OVERHEAD_CONTACTLINE_SYSTEM	An overhead contact line system above the upper limit of the train using an overhead contact line and a catenary system to supply current to traction units.
RETURN_CIRCUIT	A distribution system which forms the intended path for the traction return current and the current under fault conditions.
FIXEDTRANSMISSIONNETWORK	Represents all wired networks that provide a data transmission channel using optical fiber cables, copper cables or both. It aggregates many technologies that are based on the multiplexing method.
OPERATIONALTELEPHONYSYSTEM	A system that allows communications between operators (e.g. switchtender, traffic regulator, operational agents, etc.) in operational centers and on the infrastructure site (e.g. railway, tunnel or road).
MOBILENETWORK	Mobile network insures wireless communication by providing a secure platform for voice and data communication between infrastructure operators, including drivers, dispatchers, shunting team members and station controllers.
SAFETY	A system aimed for protecting the safety of people, vehicles and other equipment from unwanted events.
MONITORINGSYSTEM	Sensor-based system for building and infrastructure monitoring and control (including environmental monitoring and control).
