@RitaLav these are two different physical things (switch = boolean, sensor = analog value) do we add both?
Sensor and switch can both be added with separate abbreviations.
DPRSW (actuator - differential pressure switch) already exists in the register (so we don't need to add another one), the sensor does not.
one more comment added to issue #223 which concludes all abbreviations requested
all comments addressed - resolves #223
hi Rita, I don't feel any of those should be classed as an actuator. An actuator would normally be an output device, not an input.
I would say DPRSW is wrong - maybe added as a sensor for an actuator? but a differential pressure switch itself is a input/sensor.
hi -
I was just about to add PRSW
but I'm still a bit confused...
to my logic: sensors (IfcSensor) reads info i.e. pressure for a system switches / actuators (IfcSwitchingDevice, IfcActuator) provides action.
actuators / switches provide fundamentally the same function but are for mechanical / electrical action respectively.
I agree with @blip2 that this is in wrong:
I think its incorrectly listed as an IfcActuator despite explicitly being called a switch in the description. proposee the following change:
switch - differential pressure,DPRSW,,IfcSwitchingDevice,NOTDEFINED
e.g.
https://www.wika.com/en-gb/psd_4.WIKA
both senses, and switches (digital and analogue outputs available) but does not actuate.
then if we add the other switches i'd suggest:
switch - absolute pressure,PRSW, ,IfcSwitchingDevice,NOTDEFINED
switch - static pressure,SPRSW ,IfcSwitchingDevice,NOTDEFINED
Thank you @blip2 @jgunstone
Conclusion:
Will add: sensor - differential pressure sensor,DPS,SENSOR,IfcSensor,PRESSURESENSOR switch - differential pressure,DPSW,,IfcSwitchingDevice,NOTDEFINED switch - absolute pressure,APSW, ,IfcSwitchingDevice,NOTDEFINED switch - static pressure,SPSW, ,IfcSwitchingDevice,NOTDEFINED switch - thermal dispersion flow proving switch,TDSW, ,IfcSwitchingDevice,NOTDEFINED
We will also need to amend the existing dew point switch abbreviation from 'DPSW' to 'DEWSW' and modify its ifc class to IfcSwitchingDevice
rebased due to major changes in master branch. should be good to go now.
Thank you @blip2 - all done
added additional sensors as per #223
