Table 3 Function Blocks - Function Designations

THE FUNCTION DESIGNATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTROLLERS, COMPUTING DEVICES, CONVERTERS AND RELAYS MAY BE USED INDIVIDUALLY OR IN COMBINATION (ALSO, SEE TABLE 1, NOTE 14.). THE USE OF A BOX AVOIDS CONFUSION BY SETTING OFF THE SYMBOL FROM OTHER MARKINGS ON A DIAGRAM AND PERMITS THE FUNCTION TO BE USED AS A STAND-ALONE BLOCK ON CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS.

6 Drawings

6.1 Cautionary notes

1) If a given drawing, or set of drawings, uses graphic symbols that are similar or identical in shape or configuration and that have different meanings because they are taken from different standards, then adequate steps must be taken to avoid misinterpretation of the symbols used. These steps may be to use caution notes, reference notes, comparison charts that illustrate and define the conflicting symbols, or other suitable means. This requirement is especially critical in cases where symbols taken from different disciplines are intermixed and their misinterpretation might cause danger to personnel or damage to equipment. The titles 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.) The line symbols of Section 6.2 offer "user's 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.

2)

3)

It is recommended that the user choose either the dashed line electrical symbol or the triple cross hatch symbol and apply it consistently. The optional binary (on-off) symbols are available for those applications where the user finds it necessary to distinguish between analog and binary signals. If, in the user's judgment, the application does not require such differentiation, the reverse slash may be omitted from on-off signal line symbols. Consistency is recommended on a given set of documents.
