Industrial automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange — Part 1637: Application module: Assembly module macro definition

Scope

ISO/TS 10303-1637:2006 specifies the application module for
Assembly module macro definition.




ISO/TS 10303-1637:2006 deals with the
representation of predefined subsets of a design for reuse functionality.
The assembly macro definition is supported by an equivalent capability in the context of interconnect substrate design
reuse.
The expected usage of this capability is only in the context of library stored design data and in design system to design
system
data sharing and exchange. A macro is not intended to be a directly realizeable design definition. The essential feature
of ISO/TS 10303-1637:2006 is the inclusion
of terminals that only exist in a macro definition so to support their reference in floor planning based design and their
subsumption and replacement
upon macro expansion in the detailed design. In ISO/TS 10303-1637:2006, assembly macros rely on interconnect macros for
connectivity implementation.



The following are within the scope of
ISO/TS 10303-1637:2006:



terminals of assembly module macro;
assignment of interconnect macro component terminals to assembly module macro terminals.
