How do process engineers read logic diagrams?
Thread Content
In production practice, process engineers are familiar with basic logic symbols and logic control diagrams; is it necessary to convert these logic diagrams into written descriptions? I would like to ask everyone here: how should process engineers utilize logic diagrams to support production?
The process engineers don’t need to know that much... It’s sufficient to turn the logic diagram into a written description so that the process engineers can understand it.
Artists don’t need to know that much, right? If that’s the case, then what’s the point of having technicians? You’re taking away other people’s jobs, buddy. If you want to know, just ask the instrument operators. Furthermore, when it comes to how the system is controlled, in order to meet the requirements of your manufacturing processes, those in charge of process development must know more about these aspects than we do as far as instrumentation is concerned, right?

What the original poster is referring to should be a “causal diagram”. “A “logic diagram” is intended for configuration programmers such as those working with ESD.
Process engineers should have cause-and-effect diagrams or logical explanations. The instrumentation technician creates a logic diagram based on the cause-and-effect diagram and the logical descriptions. When it comes to serving production, regarding interlocks, process engineers mainly need to determine whether reliability or availability is more important.
It’s sufficient to mainly learn the technical details and operating methods
In engineering, process and instrumentation are closely related
Today’s enterprises are highly automated; various instruments are used to monitor the operation of different equipment and transmit that information to the control room. When a problem arises, if one does not understand how these instruments work, it can be difficult to determine whether the issue lies with the equipment, the manufacturing process, signal transmission, or electrical components. To ensure that the manufacturing process runs smoothly, it is necessary to have an understanding of all these aspects, even if only at a basic level
In modern chemical enterprises, no single specialty exists in isolation; whether it is during the construction phase or during operation and maintenance, the focus of working with processes lies in understanding the process flow, system balance, material accounting, and formulations. However, it is still beneficial to have a good understanding of equipment, electrical systems, and instrumentation, as this will only help you better learn about the processes. As for logical control diagrams, they should be developed based on the requirements of the process, with the aim of applying them effectively in process control. As for how to create and understand logic diagrams, that should be the responsibility of those in the instrumentation field.
It’s not just the process; especially regarding instruments, one must have a solid understanding of a wide range of topics including processes, systems, electricity, equipment, and civil engineering
The process engineers need to provide the instrumentation team with the necessary conditions; it should be presented in the form of a cause-and-effect diagram. Is there anyone who can guide me on how to create such a diagram?

Our company’s instrument technicians do not do W. .
There is nothing special; process engineers need to be able to understand the representation of common logic diagrams. Because, at its core, all control schemes stem from the requirements of the process engineering field. As process engineers strive to understand the principles behind the operation and functioning of equipment, they naturally need to comprehend logical descriptions in written form. Yet, in order to quickly identify faults and understand transient phenomena, it is necessary to look for answers in control diagrams.
