Isa 67 Alexander Drive P.O, Box 12277 Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709 Preface This preface Is Included for information and is not a part of ISA-6.1-1984 (1992). ‘This standard has been prepared as part ofthe service of ISA foward a goal of uniformity in the field of instrumentation. To be of real value, this document should not be stalic, bul should be subject to periodic review, Toward this end, the Sosiely welcomes all comments and criticisms, ‘and asks that they be addressed to the Secretary, Standards and Practices Board, ISA, 67 Alexander Drive, P.O, Box 12277, Research Tilangle Park, NC 27709, Telephone (919) 540- 8441, e-mal: standards@isa.org. ‘The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the ‘metric system of units in general, and the International System of Units (Si) in particular, in the proparation of instrumentation standards. The Department is further aware of the benefits to U.S.A. users of ISA standards of incorporating sullable references to the SI (and! the metic. system) in their business and professional dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce Sl-acceptable metric units in all new and revised slandards to the greatest extent possible, The Metric Practice Guide, which has bean published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers as ANSWIEEE Std. 268-1982, and future revisions will be the reference guide for definitions, symbols, abbreviations, and conversion factors. Itis the policy of ISA to encourage and welcome the participation of all concerned individuals and interests in the development of ISA standards, Participation in the ISA standards-making process by an individual in no way constitutes endorsement by the employer ofthat individual, of ISA, or of any of the standards that ISA develops. ‘The information contained in the preface, footnotes, and appendices is Included for information only and is not a part of the standard, The instrumentation symbolism and identification techniques described In the standard ‘accommodate the advances in technology and reflect the collective industrial experience gained since the publication of Recommended Practice RPS.1 in 1949, ‘This revision attempts to strengthen the standard in ils role as a tool of communication In the process industries, Communication presupposes a common language; or, at the very least, itis facilitated by one, ‘The standard offers the foundation for that common language. ‘When integraited into a system, the symbols and designations presented here form a concise, dedicated language which communicates concepts, facts, intent, instructions, and knowledge ‘about measurement and control systems In the process industries, ‘This document is @ consensus standard rather than a mandatory ono. As such, it has many of the strengths and the weaknesses of consensus standards. Its primary strength is that can be used in widespread, interdisciplinary ways. Its weakness Is generally that of not being specific ‘enough to satisfy the special requirements of particular interest groups. The symbols and identication contained in ISA-6.1 have evolved by the consensus method and are intended for wide application throughout the process industries, The symbols and designations are used as conceptualizing alds, as design loots, as teaching devices, and as a concise and specific means of communication on al types and kinds of technical, engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance documents TAB TA98a R190) a In the past, the standard has been flexible enough to serve all of the uses just described, In the future, it must continue to do so. To this end, this revision offers symbols, identification, and definitions for concepts that were not previously described; for example, shred display/control, distributed control, and programmable control. Definitions were broadened to accommodate the fact that, although similar functions are being performed by the new control systems, these functions are frequently not related to a uniqualy identifiable instrument; yet they stl must be ‘conceptualized and identified. The excellent SAMA (Scientific Apparatus Makers Association) method of functional diagramming was used to describe function blocks and function designators. To help the batch processing industries, where binary (on-off) symbolism Is ‘extremely useful, new binary line symbols were introduced and firstetter ¥ was selected to represent an initiating variable wach could be categorized as an event, presence, or state, In general, breadth of application as opposed to narravmass has been emphasized. ‘The ISA Standards Committee on Instrumentation Symbols and Identitication operates within the ISA Standards and Practices Department, with Willam Calder Ill as vice president. The persons listed below served as members of or advisors to the SP6.1 committee. Tho SPS.1 committee Is deeply appreciative of the work of previous SP5.1 committees and has tied to treat their work wih the respect it deserves. In addition, this committee woud like to acknowledge the work of the SP6.3 committee In developing ISA-5.8, "Graphic Symbols for Distributed Control/Shared Display instrumentation, Logic and Computer Systems.” The Key elements of ISA-6.3 have been incorporated into ISA-S. 1, end itis the Sociely's intent to withdraw ISA-6.3 after publication of this revision of ISA-5.1 ‘The following people served as members of ISA Committee SPS.1, which prepared this standarel NAME ‘COMPANY R.

TAS BHA (R192) 1 Purpose ‘The purpose of this standard is to establish a uniform means of designating Instruments and instrumentation systems used for measurement and control. To this end, a designation system that includes symbols and an Identification code Is presented. 2 Scope 2A General 2.1.4 The procedural needs of various users are different, The slandard recognizes these needs, ‘when they are consistont with the objectives of the standard, by providing alternative symbolism methods, A number of examples are provided for adding information or simplifying the symbolism, as desired 2.4.2 Process equipment symbols are not part ofthis standard, but are included only toilustrate applications of instrumentation symbols, 2.2 Application to industries 2.2.4 The standard is suitable for use in the chemical, petroleum, power generation, air condition- ing, metal refining, and numerous other, process industries. 2.2.2 Certain les, suchas astronomy, navigation, andmedicine, use very specialized instruments that are different from the conventional industrial process instruments. No specific effort was made {o have the standard meet the requirements of those fields. Howover, itis expected that the standard will be flexible enough to meet many of the needs of special fialds, 2,3. Application to work activities 2.3.4 ‘The standard is suitable for use whenever any reference to an instrument or to a control ‘system function is required for the purposes of symbolization and identification. Such references my be required for the following uses, as well as others: * Design sketches, + Teaching examples + Technical papers, literature, and discussions + Instrumentation system diagrams, loop diagrams, logie diagrams + Functional descriptions + Flow diagrams: Process, Mechanical, Engineoring, Systems, Piping (Process) and Instrumentation + Construction drawings + Specifications, purchase orders, manifests, and other lists TAB H-1984 (R 1992) 5 + Identification (tagging) of instruments and control functions + Installation, operating and maintenance instructions, drawings, and records 2.3.2 The standard Is intended to provide sulticient information to enable anyone reviewing any document depicting process measurement and control (who has a reasonable amount of process knowledge) to understand the means of measurement and contra ofthe process. The detailed knowiedge of a specialist in instrumentation is not a prerequisite to this understanding, 2.4 Application to classes of instrumentation and to instrument functions “The symbolism and Identication methods provided In this standard are applicable (0 all classes of process measurement and control instrumentation. They can be used not only to describe discrete instruments and thelr functions, but also to describe the analogous functions of systems, which are variously termed "shared alsptay,” "shared conttol,” “distributed contal,” andl “computer control." 2.8 Extent of functional identification ‘The standard provides for the identification and symbolization of the key functions of an instrument. Additional detals of the instrument are better described in a suitable specification, data shel, or other document intended for those requiring such details. 2.6 Extent of loop identification ‘The stanclard covers the idenlfcation of en instrument and all other instruments or contol {unetions associated with itn a loop. The user's free to apply additional identiication — by serial number, unit number, area number, plant number, or by other means. 3 Definitions For the purpose of understanding this standard, the following definitions apply. For a more complete treatment, sce ISA-61.1 and the ISA-75 series of standards. Terms italicized ina definition are also defined in this section ‘Accessible: A term applied toa device or function that can be used or be seen by an operator for the purpose of performing control actions, e.g., sef pofnt changes, auto-manual transfer, or on-off actions. ‘Alarm: A device of function that signals the existance of an abnormal condition by means of an ‘auidible or visible discrete change, or both, intended to attract altention, Its not recommended that the term elarm switch or alarm be used to designate a device whose ‘operation is simply to close or open a circuit thal may or may not be used for normal or abnormal Interlock, start-up, shutdown, actuation of a pilot ight or an alarm device, or the like. The frst dovice is properly designated as a level switch, a flow switch, efc., because "switching" is what the device does, The device may be designated as an alarm only ifthe device itself contains the ‘elarm function. (See also Table 4, note (13).] Assignable: A term applied to 2 feature permitting the channeling (or directing) of a signal from fone device to another without the need for switching, patching, oF changes In wiring. ‘Auto-manual station: Synonym for contro! station. o z TBA5.1-1004 (R 1002) Balloon: Synonym for bubble. Behind the pane: A term applied to a location that Is within an area that contains (1) the Instrument panel, (2) is associated rack-mounted hardware, oF (3) is enclosed within the pansl Bohind the panel devices are not e¢cessible for the operator's normal use, and are not designated as local or front-of-panel-mounted. In.a very broad sense, "behind tho panel”is equivalent to "not normally eecossibie to tho operator." Binary. A term applied to a signal or device thal has only two discrete positions or states. When used in iis simplest form, a8 In “binary signal" (as apposed to “analog signal’), the term denotes ‘an on-off" of “high-low” slate, Le., one which does not represent continuously varying quantities. Board: Synonym for panel Bubble: The circular symbol used to denote and identiy the purpose of an instrument or function. Itrmay contain a tag number. Synonym for balloon, ‘Computing device: A device or function thet performs one or more calculations or logic ‘operations, or both, and transmits one or more resultant output signals. A compuiting dovioo Is sometimes called a computing relay. Contigurable: A term applied to a device of system whose functional characteristics can be selected or rearranged through programming or other methods. The concept excludes rewiring ‘as @ means of altering the configuration, Controtier: A device having an output that varies fo regulate @ controlled variable in a specified manner. A controller may be a self-contained analog or digital Instrument, or it may be the ‘equivalent of such an instrument in a shared-control system, ‘An automatic controlfor varies its output automatically in response to a director indirect input of a ‘measured process variable, A rmanual contiollerls a manual loeding station, and its output Is not dependen| on a measured process variable but can be varied only by manual adjustment. A controller may be integral with other functional elements of a controt loop. Control station: A manual loading station that also provides switching between manual and aulomatic control modes of a control loop. {tis also known as an auto-manual station. In addition, the operator interface of a distributed contro! system may be regarded as a contro! station Control vaive: A device, other than a common, hand-aotuated ON-OFF valve or self-actuated check valve, that dicectly manipulates the flow of one or more fluid process streams, Itis expected that use of the designation “hand control valve" will be limited to hand-actated vaives that (1) are used for process throttling, of (2) require kdentiication as an instrument. Converter. A device that receives information in one form of an instrument signal and transmits ‘an output signal in another form. ‘An instrument which chengos a sensors output to @ standard signat Is properly designated es a transmiter, not a converter. Typically. 2 temperature element (TE) may connect to a transmitter (TT), not to a converter (TY) A converters also referred to as a transducer, however, “ransduce’" Is a completely general term, and its use specifically for signal convorsion is not recommended, Digitat A torm applied to a signel or device that uses binary digs to represent continuous Values or discrete states, Distributed control system: A system which, while being functionally integrated, consists of subsystems which may be physically separate and remotely located from one another. IBAB.1-1984 (R 1992), W Final control element: The device that directly controls the value of the manipulated variablo of ‘control loop. Often the final control element is a contra! valve, Function: The purpose of, or an action performed by, a device. Identification: The sequence of letters or digits, or both, used to designate an Individual instrument or foop. Instrument: A device used directly or indirectly to measure andlor control a variable. ‘The term inches primary olements, final control sfements, computing devices, and electrical devices such as annunciators, switches, and pushbuttons. The term does not apply to parts (0.9., 2 receiver bellows of a resistor) thal are internal components of an instrument. Instrumentation: A collection of instruments or their application for the purpose of observation, ‘measurement, control, or any combination of these, Local: The location of an instrument that is neither in nor on a panel or console, nor is it mounted ina control room. Local instruments are commonly in the vicinity of a primary element or a final ‘control element, ‘The word "field" is often used synonymously with focal. Local panol: A pane! that fs nota central or main panel. Local panels are commonly inthe vicinly of plant subsystems or sub-areas. The form “ca! panel instrument” should not be confused with "focal instrument.” Loop: A combination of two or more instruments or control functions arranged 80 that signals pass ftom one to another for the purpose of measurement andlor control of a process variablo. Manual loading station; A device ot function having a manuelly adjustable output thats used to ‘actuate one or more remote devices. The stalon does not provide eviching between manual and automatic control modes of a control loop (see controller and control station). The station may have integral Indicators, lighis, or other features, Itis also known as a manta station or a manual loader, Meesuremont: The determination of the existence or the magnitude of @ variable, Monitor: A general term for an instrument or instrument system used to measure or sense the slatus or magnitude of one or more variables forthe purpose of derving useful information, The {etm monitor's very unspecitic— sometimes meaning analyzer, indicator, or alarm. Monitor can also be used as a verb, Monitor light: Synonym for plot Kght Panel: A structure that has a group of instruments mounted on It, houses the operator-process interface, and is chosen to have a unique designation. The panei may consist of one oF more sections, cubcles, consoles, or desks. Synonym for board. Panol-mountods: A term applied to an instrument that Is mounted on a panel or console and is accessible for en operator's normal use. A function thats normally accossible to an operator in € shared-display system is the equivalent ofa discrete panol-mounted device, Pilot light: Aight that indicates which of « number of normal consitions of a system or device fevists, itis unlike an alarm light, which Indicates an abnormal condition, The pilot light is also known as a monitor ght. Primary element: Synonym for sensor. Process: Any operation or sequence of operations involving a change of energy, state, ccompostion, dimension, or other properties that may be defined with respect to a datum, Process variablo: Any variable property ofa process. ‘The teim process variable is used inthis ‘standard to apply to all variables other than instrument signals. @ TERE. A-i904 (R150) Program: A repeatable sequence of actions that defines the status of outputs as a fixed relationship to a set of inputs, Programmable logle controlter. A controler, ustally with multiple Inputs and outputs, that ‘contains an altorable program. Relay: A device whose function Is to pass on information in an unchanged form or In some modified form. Relay is often used fo mean computing cevice. The latter term is preferred. “The term ‘refay" also Is applied spectically to an electle, pneumatio, or hydraulic switch that Is actuated by a signal, The term also ts applied to functions performed by a relay. ‘Scan: To sample, in a predetermined manner, each of a number of varkables infermittently. The unotion of a scanning device Is often to ascertain the state or value of a variable. The device may be associated with other functions such as recording and alarming, ‘Sensor: Thet part of a Joop or instrument that frat senses the value of a process variable, and {hat assumes a corresponding, predetermined, and inteligible state or oulput. The sensor may be soparate from or integral with another functional element of a loop. ‘The sensor's also known as a detector or primary element. Sot point: An input variable that sets the desired value of the controlled variable, ‘The sol point ‘may be manually set, automaticaly set, or programmed. Its value is expressed in the same units ap the controlied variable. Shared controller: A controller, containing preprogrammed algorithms that are usually accessible, configurable, and assigneble. It permits a number of process variables to be ‘controlled by a single device. : Shared display: The operator interface device (usually @ video screen) used to display process control laformation from a number of sources at the command of the operator. ‘Switch: A dovice that connects, disconnects, selects, or transfers one or more circuits and is not designated as a controller, a relay, or @ control valve. AS a verb, the term is also applied fo the Tuncttons performed by switches. Tast point: A process connection to whlch no Instrumont Is permanently connected, but which is Intended for the temporary or intermitient connection of an instrument. Transducer: A general term for a device that receives information in the form of one or more physical quantities, modifies the information and/or ils form, If required, and produces a resultant ‘ouiput signal. Depending on the application, the transducer can be a primary element, transmitter, relay, converter or other device. Because the tern "ransducer"Is not specific, ts se for specific applications Is not recommenced. Transmittar: A device thal senses a process Variable through the medium of a sensor and has ‘an output whose steady-state value varies only as a prodetermined function of the process variable. The sensor may or may not be integral with the transmiller. 4 Outline of the identification system 44 General 4.14 Each instrument or function to be identified is designated by an alphanumeric code or tag number as shown in Figure 1. The loop identification part of the tag number generally is common TAEA-1984 (RIG ® to all instruments or functions of the loop. A suffix or prefix may be added to complete the Klenti- fication, Typical identification is shown in Figure 1, "TWPICAT TAG NUMBER ric 103 - Insument identification or Tag Number 109 Loop Identiteation 403 + Loop Number ric + FunettonatIdentcation ir Frstltior tc Succacdlg Loos EXPANDED TAG NUMBER. HO.PAHSA + Tag Numbor 10 Optional Prefix A Optional Sut Note: Hyphens aro optional 9s eoporatrs Figure 1— Tag numbers 4.2 The instrument loop number may include coded information, such as plant area designation. itis also possible o sel aside specific sores of numbers to designate special functions; for instance, the series 800 to 999 could be used for loops whose primary function is safely-reated. 4.4.3 Each instrument may be represented on diagrams by a symbol. The symbol may be ‘accompanied by a tag number. 4.2 Functional Identification 42. The functional identification of an instcument or its functional equivalent consists of letters from Table 4 and includes one first-lelter (designating the measured or initiating variable) and one or more succeeding-letiers (identifying the functions performed). 4.2.2 The functlonal identification of an instrument is made according to the function end not according tothe construction, Thus, adiferential-pressure recorder used for flow measurement is deniitied by FR; a pressure Indicator and a pressure-actuated switch connected to the output ‘of a pnaumaic level tansmiter are identified by L and LS, respectively. 4.2.2 In an instrument loop, tho first-fetor of the functional identification is selected according to the measured or initiating variable, and not according to the manipulated variable. Thus, a contro! ‘valve varying flow according to the dictates of a level controler is an LV, not an FV. 4.24 The succeeding-lelters of the functional identification designate one or more readout or passive functions andior output funcilons. A modifying-letter may be used, I required, in aditon to one or more other sueceeding- letters. Moditying-etters may modify elther a firstetter ar suc- ceedingelttors, as applicable, Thus, TDAL contains two modifiers. The letter D changes the measured variable Tintoa new variable, “ifferential temperature." The letter L restricts thereadout function A, alarm, to represent a low alarm only, 4.2.6 The sequence of idenilficalionlellers begins witha firstleter selected according to Tablo 1 Readout or passive functional letters folow in any order, andl oulput functional ftters follow these inany sequence, except that output ltler C (control) precedes output letter V (valve), @.g., PCV, a self actdated control valve. However, modifying ellers, if used, ae interposed so that they are placed immodiatoly following the letters they modily. w TSAS.A-1004 (R 1992) 4.2.6 A muttiple function device may be symbolized on a diagram by as many bubbles as there ‘are measured variables, outputs, andior functions. Thus, a temperature controller with a switch ‘may be identified by two tangent bubbles — ona inscribed TIC-3 and one Inscribed TSH-3. The Instrument would be designated TIC/TSH-3foralluses in witing or reference. If desired, however, the abbreviation TIC-3 may serve for general identification or for purchasing, while TSH-3may be used for electric circuit diegrams. 4.2.7 “The number of functional letlers grouped for one instrument should be kept to @ minimum according to the judgment of the user. The total number of letters within one group shouts not exceed four, The number within a group may be kept to a minimum by: 1) Arranging the functional letters into subgroups. This practice is described in Section 4.2.8 for Instruments having more than one measured variable or input, but It may also be used for other instruments. 2) Omilting the / (indicate) i an instrument both indicates and records the samo measured variable, 4.2.8 All jotters of the functional identification are uppercase, 4,3 Loop identification 4.3.4. The loop Identification consists of a first-etler and a number. Each instrument within 2 loop hhas assigned to i the same loop number and, in the case of parallel numbering, the same frst- letter. Each instrument loop has a unique loop identification. An instrument common to two or ‘more loops should carry the identification of the loop which is considered predominant, 4.3.2. Loop numbering may be parallel or serial, Parallel numbering involves starting a numerical sequence for each new first-letter, 0.9, TIC-100, FRC-100, LIC-109, AI-100, ete. Serial numbering involves using a single sequence of numbers for a project or for large sections of a project, egard- less of tho firstletter of the loop Identification, 6g, TIC-100, FRC-101, LIC-102, Al-103, ofc, A loop numbering sequence may begin with 1 or any other convenient number, such a8 001, 304 or 7201. The number may incorporate coded information; however, simplicity is recommended. 4.3.3 Ifa given loop has more than one instrument with the same functional identification, a suffix may be appended to the loop number, e.g., FV-2A, FV-2B, FV-20, etc, or TE-26-1, TE-25-2, elo However, It may be more convenient or logical in a given instance to designate a pair of flow ‘transmitters, for example, as FT-2 and FT-3 instead of FT-2A and F7-2B. The suffixes may be applied according tothe following guidelines: 1) Anuppercase suffix leiter should be used, Le. A, B, ©, fe. 2) Foran Instrument such as a multipoint temperature recorder that prints numbers for point identification, the primary elements may be numbered TE-26-1, TE-25-2, TE- 25-3, otc., corresponding to the point identifeation number. 3) Further subdivisions of a loop may be designated by serially alternating sulfix letters and numbers, (See Section 6.9R(3).) 4.3.4 Aninstrument that performs tvro or more functions may be designated by al ofits functions, For example, a flow recorder FR-2 with a pressure pen PR-4 may be designated FR-2/PR-4, A {wo-pen pressure recorder may be PR-7/8, and a common annunciator window for high and low temperature alarms may be TAHL-21. Note thatthe slash Isnot necessary when distinclly separate devioes are not present. 4.3.8 Instrument accessories such as purge meters, at sets, and seal pots that are not explicitly shown on a diagram but that need a designation for other purposes should be tagged individually TSAEA-1088 (R 1082) 6 ‘according to their functions and should use the same loop Identification as the instrument they directly serve. Application of such a designation does notimply that the acoessory must be shown ‘on the diagram. Alternatively, the accessories may use the identical tag number as that of thelr associated instrument, but wilh clarifying words added. Thus an orifice flange union associated with orifice plate FE-7 should be tagged FX.7, bul may be designaled FE-7 FLANGES, A purge meter associated with pressure gaugo PI-8 may be tagged P-8 PURGE. A thermowell used wilh thermometer T/-9 should be tagged TW-8, but may be tagged Tl THERMOWELL, “The rules for loop identification need not be applied to instruments and accessorias thal are purchased in bulk quantities tits the user's practice to idently these items by other mess, 4.4 Symbols 4.44 The examples in this standard iltustrate the symbols that ate intended to depict instrumen- tation on diagrams and drawings, Methods of symbolization and identification are demonstrated. ‘The examples show identification that is typical forthe pictured instrument or functional interrele- tionships. The symbols indicating the various instruments of functions have been applied in typical \ays in the llustrations, This usage does not imply, however, that the applications or designations ofthe instruments of functions are restricted in any way. No inference should be drawn that the choice of any of the schemes for llustration constitutes a recommendation forthe ilustrated moth: ‘ods of measurement or control. Where alternative symbols are shown without a statement of preference, the relative sequence of symbols does not imply a preference, 44.2 The bubble may be used to tag dletinctive symbols, such as those for control valves, when such taggingis desired. In such instances, the ine connecting the bubble to the instrumont symbol is drawn close to, but not touching, the symbol. In other instances, the bubble serves lo represent the instrument proper. 4.4.3 A distinctive symbol whose relationship tothe remainder ofthe loop Is easily apparent from a clagram need not be individually tagged on the diagram. For example, en orifice flange or a Control valve that is part ofa larger system need not be shown with a tag number on a diagram. ‘Also, where there Is a primary element connected to another inettument on @ diagram, use of a ‘symbol fo represent the primary element on the diagram is optional. 4A Abyiof explanatory notation may be added adjacent to a symbol or tine to clarify the function ‘of an tem. For instance, the notations 3-9 psig and 9-16 psig adjacent to the signal lines to two ‘valves operating in spt range, taken together with the symbols forthe allure modes, allow complete Understanding ofthe intent. Similarly, when two Valves are operated in a diverting or mixing mode {roma common signal, the notatlons 3-15 psig and 16-9 psig, together withthe failure modos, allow understanding of the function. 4.4.8 The sizes of the tagging bubbles and the miscellaneous symbols shown In the examples are tho sizes generally recommended; however, the optimum sizes may vary dependingonwhether Cr not the finished diagram is to be reduced in'size and depending on the number of characters that are expected in the instrument tagging designetion. The sizes ofthe other symbols may be solected a8 appropriate to accompany the symbols of other equipment on a diagram. 4.4.6 Aside from the generel drefiing requirements for neatness and legibility, symbols may be drawn with any orientation, Likewise, signal ines may be drawn on a diagram entering or leaving the appropriate part of a symbol al any angle, Hovrever, the function block designators of Table 3 ‘and the tag numbers should always be drawn with a horizontal orientation. Directional arrowheads ‘should be added to signal ines when needed to clarify the direction of flow of information. The judicious use of such arrowheads, especially on complex drawings, will often facilitate understand ing of the system. 7 7 : TSE A-1084 (R168) 44.7 The electtcal, pneumatic, or other power supply to en instrument is not expected to be shown unless itis essential to an understanding of the operation of the Instrument or the loop. 4.4.8 In general, one signal ine wil sufce o represont the interconnections between two inatu- ‘ments on flow diagrams even though they may be connected physically by more than one line. 4.49 ‘The sequence in which tho instruments of functions of a loop are connected on a dlagram ‘should refect the functional logic or information low, although this arrangement willnotnecesserily ‘correspond fo the signal connection sequence. Thus, an electronic loop using analog voltage signals requires paralel wiring, while a foop using analog current signals requires series intercon- nections, However, the dlagram in both instances should be drawn as though all he wing were parallel, to show the functional Interrelationships clearly while Keoping the presentation indepen- ) TEASURED OR READOUT OR ITIATING.

These steps may be to use caution notes, reference note comparison charts that illustrate and define the conflicting symbots, or other sutabte means. This requirement is especially cial in cases where symbols teken from diferont dleciptines are intermixed and thor isinterpretation inight cause danger to personnel or damage to equipment 2) The tiles Simplified Diagrams, Conceptual Diagrams and Detailed Diagrams of Section 6.12 were chosen to represent a cross section of symbol usage, not any particular generic document. (See-4.4.10 for a more complete discussion.) 8) The line symbols of Section 6.2 offer “users choice" alternative electrical symbols and optional binary symbols. The subsequent examples use one consistent set of these alternatives and apply the binary options. ‘This was done for consistency of appearance of the standard. Itis recommended that the user choose either the dashed line electrical symbol or the tiple cross haich symbol and apply it consistently. The optional binary (on-off) symbols are avallable for those applications where the user finds it necessary to distinguish between analog end binary signals. If, inthe user's judament, the ap- plication does not require such differentiation, the reverse slash may be omitted from on-off signal fine symbols.
