Function Diagrams = One-line Diagrams = Elementary or Schematic Diagrams Installation Diagrams ~ Outline Diagrams = Interconnection Diagrams Manufacturing Diagrams ~~ Wiring Diagrams = Material Lists ‘These diagrams are described in turn in the following sections of this book. FUNCTION DIAGRAMS— ELEMENTARY GENERAL ‘These diagrams provide the infor- mation necessary for understanding the systems operation and for servic ing the control. They may consist of Block Diagrams, One-line Diagrams, Logic Diagrams, and Schematic Dia grams. Definitions: 7 Block Diagrams ~ A block diagram consists of a group of intoreonnect- ing blocks, cach of which repre- sents a device or sub-system. One-line Diagrams-A one-line dia- gram shows by means of single lines and graphical symbols the course of the electrical circuit or system of eireuits and the component devices or parts used therein, Physical re- Iationships are usually disregarded. Elementary or Schematic Diagram = An elementary or schematic dia- gram shows all elrcuits and the de- vice elements of an equipment and ts associated apparatus or any clearly defined {unetional portion thereof. Such a diagram emphasizes the device elements of a circuit and their functionsas distinguished from the physical arrangement of the conductors, devices or device ele= nents of a circuit system, The elementary diagram is the key arawing to the entire system because it shows how the system works and is the basis of all other diagrams. In- cluded in an elementary diagram when required for understanding, are all of the above forms, Elementaries using solid-state devices make use of block and logic diagrams to simplify and make the drawings easter to follow functionally. ‘The information on an elementary diagram is normally grouped by func~ tion or by drive. For example, an ap- plication may consist of asingle crane. ‘The elementary for this would nor- mally be grouped by each of the three drives: a holst drive, a trolley drive and a bridge drive. ‘The elementary for mill automation control, on the ‘ther hand, is normally grouped func Honally. The mill master-speed-ref— ference controls will be grouped ta- gether. Another section might consist of time-shiared position regulators, et. An elementary diagram may consist, of only a single sheet or it may be several hundred sheets, depending upon the amount of control, For complex complete process control, elementary diagrams normally contain a section alled “front sheets.” These ‘front sheets’ include such things as process flow, control lineups, cross reference ff ail the control drawings used within the system, operator's desk-top lay- outs, ete. (seo pages 11-18). Normally the elementary diagram is divided inta three basic typesof cir- cuits ~ power, logic, and regulator (see pages 14-16 ). Simple power circuits mmay be on a sheet with one ofthe other types. Appropriate operating notes, device ‘nomenclature legend and device ratings are on the individual sheets in prox- imity to the associated ctreults or are consolidated in the final sheets of the elementary diagram. For complex ‘complete process control, general notes and tuneup information are on the final sheets of the diagram. Also located here are explanations of the cross ref- ference and wire numbering system and device symbols utilized (see page 7).

Conventional symbols ake ZENER ico y CONVENTIONAL SYMBOLS Because the elementary diagram is shown symbolically, a knowledge of the symbols used is essential for a clear understanding of the operation of the control. Standard symbols have been adopted from ANSI-Y32.2 specilication fand are illustrated in Fig. 1. The symbole represent either elements of the device, such as relay interlocks, calls, or complete devices, such as.ca- pacitors, resistors, andare sometimes shown on the elementary diagram in various orlentations to improve dra ing clarity SOLID-STATE DIGITAL SYMBOLS General Electric's symbols conform to ANSI Document YI2.14, “Graphic Symbols for Logic Diagrams.” The objective is to use as little nomencla~ ture as possible in the interest of clarity, but still provide sufficient in- formation to explain the logic and.show its implementation. Logic nomenclature is used to de- scribe the internal logic operation of the equipment. This nomenclature is tused in logic equations, lorie diagrams, and other descriptions of the logic such as test specifications. A logic element requires. several identifications that fare ineluded on its symbol: 1, Logie Type 3, Location Element Type 6. Pin Number T. Internal Symbol 2 3. Logie Name 4 Polarity Code Logic-type Code ‘The logic-type code identifies the internal function of a logic element Refer to Table 1 for a list ofthese type codes, Exomel = Aven “ = ostex 30 nex © vooie tyre 8 (ano) Fig. 2 Element-type Code The element type is shown for each logic element on the logie diagram and is entered on the line below the logie~ type code. This element type is always four characters which inelude circuit class, clreult type and circuit serial numb Exampl 4. Signal Name =a term having a maximum of for characters. The sig- nal name will be defined in each ease by the logie designer and may be any combination of characters he chooses to describe the function adequately. Refer to Table 3 for representative functional names, The drive number, polarity code and the signal name make up the logie name. Normally ony the last two parts Aare shown on the logic diagram.

SOLID-STATE ANALOG SYMBOLS ‘The symbols used by General Elec- trie’s Drive Systems Product Depart- ment are compatible with the ANSI Document Y32.2 (1970) "Graphic Sym ols for Electrical and Electronic Dia- grams.” Most of the statements below reflect a selection of alternate choices in the specification, Some of the state- ments are expanded interpretations of the ANSI document where no specific standards are given and others are practice statements, not considered by ANSI, such as those defining special purpose board rules and symbol size. In analog nomenclature, adlitional Information may be presented outside of, and adjacent to, the symbol. This in- formation Includes wave-formsandtest points. The pin numbers are shown ad cent to the entrance and exit ines. Symbol Basic Building Block The following symbol is the baste building block upon which most analoz functions are implemented.
