Documenting what happens within a control system.
Documenting what happens within a control system.
(OP)
I am looking for an effective way of documenting what happens within a control system.
We produce PC controlled skid mounted process kit. Pumping, mixing and sampling systems controlled by a PC via a Profibus network. Increasingly we are asked to produce “control logic diagrams” as part of the design package. Simple logic yes/no flow charts do not seem to have the capacity to detail the inner workings of the system. Granted they are fine for high level overview type applications but I need something more sophisticated. I am sure I have seen a reference to a standard for this kind of thing but the location escapes me.
Any help or advice in this area would be very welcome.
Thanks

First link for free - there are dozens more on the net. The Siemens ones seem pretty good on the whole - maybe a legacy of the Westinghouse buyout?
