There are two ways to make such a system.

1. Simply use a hashtable (or use item data) to save the item type, this needs to be done manually with every single item. Easier, but it takes time and it's boring.

2. Make a certain armor type be of a certain item class. Helmets are "permanent", shoulders are "Charged" etc.

As soon as you have anything to classify them as a certain type of item (helmet/shield/boots/etc) you can then limit units to only wear a certain amount of them by checking if they already wear any of those.
If they do, you then either replace them or cancel the equip order.

IDS does that, at least the check. It should be easy to modify though, so you could also replace the item.
