Detailed Description

FunctionalDevice (from FunctionModeling)

Generalizations
AnalysisFunctionType (from FunctionModeling)

Description
The FunctionalDevice represents an abstract sensor or actuator that encapsulates sensor/actuator dynamics and the interfacing software. The FunctionalDevice is the interface between the electronic architecture and the environment (connected by ClampConnectors). As such, it is a transfer function between the AnalysisFunction and the physical entity that it measures or actuates.
A Realization dependency can be used for traceability between LocalDeviceManagers and Sensors/Actuators that are represented by the FunctionalDevice.

Semantics
The behavior associated with the FunctionalDevice is the transfer function between the environment model representing the environment and an AnalysisFunction. The transfer function represents the sensor or actuator and its interfacing hardware and software (connectors, electronics, in/out interface, driver software, and application software).
