Representation of states of objects by graphical symbols
IEC 62744:2014 provides generic rules for the representation of states of objects by graphical symbols standardized in IEC 60617, ISO 14617, IEC 60417, for example, and for future graphical symbols included in these standards. It also provides operational states of an object as examples that typically occur and which need to be represented by standardized graphical symbols and defines generic rules to be applied. It specifies which types of presentation facilities are recommended to present the different operational states to humans.
Darstellung von Objektzuständen mittels grafischer Symbole
Représentation d'états d'objets par des symboles graphiques
L'IEC 62744:2014 fournit les règles génériques pour la représentation d'états d'objets par des symboles graphiques normalisés dans les normes IEC 60617, ISO 14617, IEC 60417, par exemple, et pour les symboles graphiques futurs inclus dans ces normes. Elle fournit éfalement les états opérationnels d'un objet à titre d'exemples qui se produisent typiquement et qu'il est nécessaire de représenter par des symboles graphiques normalisés. Elle définit également les règles génériques à appliquer. Elle spécifie les types de moyens de représentation recommandés pour présenter les différents états opérationnels aux êtres humains.
Dinamična predstavitev grafičnih simbolov (IEC 62744:2014)
Ta mednarodni standard določa splošna pravila za predstavitev stanj predmetov z grafičnimi simboli, ki so standardizirani npr. v standardih IEC 60617, ISO 14617 in IEC 60417 ter za prihodnje grafične simbole, ki so vključeni v teh standardih.
OPOMBA 1 Grafični simboli v standardih IEC 60617, ISO 14617 in IEC 60417 so v večini primerov predstavljeni z eno grafiko (ki ne predstavlja različnih obratovalnih stanj predmetov v času njihove življenjske dobe, npr. med delovanjem) predmeta, ki ga predstavlja za grafični simbol.
OPOMBA 2 Grafični simboli v standardih IEC 60617 in ISO 14617 so – v času pisanja prve izdaje tega standarda – običajno prikazani v obratovalnem stanju »brez napajanja«.
OPOMBA 3 Različna obdobja objekta v okviru njegove življenjske dobe, t. j. oblikovanja, izdelave, delovanja in odstranjevanja, so zaznamovana z različnimi stanji. Kljub temu se ta standard osredotoča le na tista stanja, ki nastanejo med aktivnim obratovalnim obdobjem, t. j. od začetka uporabe predmeta do njegove odstranitve.
Namen tega horizontalnega standarda je:
• zagotoviti koherenco korpusa standardiziranih dokumentov;
• izogibanje podvajanja dela in nasprotujočih si zahtev.
Ta standard določa obratovalna stanja predmeta kot primere, ki se običajno pripetijo in jih je treba predstaviti s standardiziranimi grafičnimi simboli, ter splošna pravila, ki jih je treba uporabiti. Določa, katere vrste predstavitvene opreme so priporočene za predstavitev različnih obratovalnih stanj ljudem.
Stanja, povezana z različnimi vrstami alarmov, njihova razvrstitev in upravljanje niso zajeta v tem standardu.
Ta standard ne določa pravil niti za načrtovanje statičnih grafičnih simbolov za diagrame, kot je določeno s skupinama standardov IEC 61082 in ISO/IEC 81714 niti za ikone in grafične simbole za uporabo na opremi, kot je določeno v skupinah standardov IEC 60417, ISO 7000 in ISO/IEC 11581.
Ta horizontalni standard je namenjen predvsem tehničnim odborom za pripravo standardov v skladu z načeli vodila IEC Guide 108.
Ena od pristojnosti tehničnih odborov je, da med pripravo publikacij uporabljajo horizontalne standarde, kadar je to primerno. Vsebina tega horizontalnega standarda se ne uporablja, razen če je izrecno navedena ali zajeta v ustreznih publikacijah.
