Understanding Configuration Types
Configuration types define the information required for various asset configurations with other assets, components, firmware, and other data.
Configurations are referenced on specifications which are then referenced on assets and components to indicate the best way that these entities can work with the other entities that they are connected to in the field.
Configuration types are defined by the following:
- Configuration Class: The class for configurations of this type
- Configuration Category: The category of configurations of this type
- Configuration Business Object: The business object used for configurations of this type
Configuration Classes
In general configuration classes define the types of connections that are being configured. Each configuration class is based on a specific business object, which is the business object used for configurations of each class and type.
The table below lists the configuration classes and the business object for each.
