Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Product data and properties for information exchange

IEC 62683:2013 is used to facilitate the exchange in electronic format of data describing low voltage switchgear and controlgear. This standard provides clear and unambiguous definitions of a limited number of properties and classes which are mainly used for presentation, selection and identification of products particularly in electronic catalogues. Each property has an unambiguously defined meaning and naming, and where relevant, a defined value list, a defined format and a defined unit. The intention is to produce a reference dictionary which allows a general description of low voltage switchgear and controlgear classes based on the defined properties. The intention is not to cover manufacturer specific features.

Appareillage à basse tension - Données et propriétés de produits pour l'échange d'informations

La CEI 62683:2013 a pour but de faciliter l'échange sous format électronique de données décrivant les appareillages à basse tension. La présente norme propose des définitions claires et sans équivoque d'un certain nombre de classes et de propriétés permettant notamment de présenter, de sélectionner et d'identifier des produits, en particulier dans les catalogues électroniques. Chaque propriété a une signification et une appellation définies sans ambiguïté et le cas échéant, un domaine de valeur défini, un format défini et une unité définie. L'objectif est de créer un dictionnaire (référentiel) permettant une description générale des classes d'appareillage à basse tension basée sur des jeux de propriétés définies. L'objectif n'est pas de traiter de fonctions spécifiques aux constructeurs.

Nizkonapetostne stikalne in krmilne naprave - Podatki o izdelku in njegovih lastnostih za izmenjavo informacij (IEC 62683:2013)

Ta mednarodni standard omogoča izmenjavo podatkov v elektronski obliki za opis nizkonapetostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav. Ta standard zagotavlja jasne in nedvoumne definicije omejenega števila lastnosti in razredov, ki se običajno uporabljajo za predstavitev, izbiro in identifikacijo izdelkov, še posebej v elektronskih katalogih. Vsaka lastnost ima nedvoumno opredeljen pomen in poimenovanje in, kjer je ustrezno, opredeljen vrednostni seznam, opredeljeno obliko in opredeljeno enoto. Namen je sestava referenčnega slovarja, ki zagotavlja splošen opis razredov nizkonapetostnih stikalnih in krmilnih naprav na podlagi opredeljenih lastnosti. Zajemanje posebnih lastnosti proizvajalca ni del namena tega standarda.
