Introduction
0.1 General
The ISO 15519 series consists of standards for specification of diagrams for process industry, published
under the general title: Specification for diagrams for process industry.
This International Standard specifies preparation of different types of diagrams and use of graphical
symbols, letter codes, and reference designation in diagrams. This International Standard addresses
all process industry fields for example chemical, petrochemical, power, pharmaceutical, foodstuff,
pulp, and paper.
This part of ISO 15519 deals with representation of measurement, actuation, and control in process
diagrams which in this context covers process flow diagrams (PFD), process and instrument diagrams
(PID), process control diagrams (PCD), and typical diagrams (TYD).
0.2 Engineering interrelations
Process diagrams, which represent the configuration of the process system and of the measurement,
actuation, and control systems, involves engineering disciplines like process, mechanical,
instrumentation, electrical, and control as illustrated in Figure 1.
Key
1 process
2 mechanical
3 instrumentation
4 electrical
5 control
A measurement
B actuation
Figure 1 — Interrelations between engineering disciplines
Figure 1 illustrates the discipline complexity of process systems which force diagrams not only to
focus on individual disciplines but overlap to neighbouring disciplines. This is, for example, done in the
process and instrumentation diagram which shows mechanical, instrumentation, and electrical objects
in same diagram.
As process engineering by tradition is an ISO discipline and control engineering is IEC discipline
representation of measurement and control in diagrams need to be coordinated and unambiguously.

0.3 Control system technology and influence on documentation
The technological development within Information Technology constantly challenges the process
industry to use “state of the art” technology for engineering of process and control systems. This
puts pressure on the standardization organisations to deliver up to date International Standards. As
development time and expected lifetime of a standard at present is overtaken several times by the IT
development, the standard developers need to develop standards which focus on basic principles and
rules to secure high quality documentation and exchange of information.
At present, the configuration and functionality of the process control system are programmed direct
in modern control system as control Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Distributed Control
Systems (DCS). In addition, these systems are self-documenting which could lead to the assumption that
traditional diagram documentation are superfluous.
Diagrams are however an important tool for documentation and representation of process system
information in all lifecycle phases of a process plant. In the development and engineering phase, diagrams
are used also for exchange and sharing of technical information between engineering disciplines and in
operation and maintenance phases diagrams are used in daily operation and as part of operation and
maintenance manuals.
0.4 Letter codes
ISO 14617-6, 7.3.1 have been moved to this part of ISO 15519 and the description has been changed to
“Letter codes for Process Control Information (PCI)”.
ISO 14617-6 will be revised at first periodical review or revision after publication of this International
Standard.
0.5 Figures
Figures in this International Standard are only examples for illustration of a given rule in the standard.
0.6 Reference designation
In this part of ISO 15519, IEC 81346-1, IEC 81346-2, and ISO/TS 81346-3 are used to illustrate the
application of reference designation in diagrams.

3.1 Terms related to control
3.1.1
actuator
functional unit that generates from the controller output variable the manipulated variable to drive the
final controlling element
Note 1 to entry: If the final controlling element is mechanically actuated, it is controlled via an actuated drive. The
actuator drives the actuating drive in this case.
Note 2 to entry: See Annex E for the relationship between related terms.

[SOURCE: IEC 60050-351:2013, 351-28-07]
3.1.2
closed-loop control
process whereby one variable (quantity), namely the controlled variable is continuously measured,
compared with another variable (quantity), namely the reference variable, and influenced in such a
manner as to adjust to the reference variable
Note 1 to entry: Characteristic for closed-loop control is the closed action in which the controlled variable
continuously influences itself in the action path of the closed loop.
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-351:2013, 351-26-01]
3.1.3
control function
manipulation via the final controlling element of process media or process objects in order to bring the
media or object into a condition or state defined by the process control system on basis of measured
process variables and pre-defined values
3.1.4
control loop
assembly of elements incorporated in the closed action of a closed-loop control
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-351:2013, 351-26-11]
3.1.5
final controlling element
functional unit forming part of the controlled system and arranged at its input, driven by the manipulated
variable and manipulating the mass flow or energy flow
Note 1 to entry: If the final controlling element is mechanically actuated, an additional actuator (positioner) is
used in some cases.
Note 2 to entry: The output variable of the final controlling equipment is usually not free from feedback. The
interface between the actuator and the final controlling element should therefore be selected in such a way that
the manipulated variable is not affected by feedback from the final controlling element.
Note 3 to entry: See Annex E for the relationship between related terms.
[SOURCE: IEC 60050:2013, 351-28-08]
3.1.6
manipulate
to change flows of mass, energy, or information by means of a final controlling element
Note 1 to entry: Manipulating can be affected continuously or by switching operations.
Note 2 to entry: In control engineering, the final controlling element is regarded as belonging to a process.
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-351:2013, 351-22-08]
3.1.7
open-loop control
process in a system whereby one or more variables (variable quantities) as input variables influence
other variables (variable quantities) as output variables in accordance with the proper laws of the system
Note 1 to entry: Characteristic for open-loop control is the open action path or in case of a closed action path the
fact that the output variables being influenced by the input variables are not continuously influencing themselves
and not by the same input variables.

ISO 15519-2:2015(E)

3.1.8
process variable
quantity, quality, or condition of a process media or process object which value may be subject to change
and can usually be measured
3.2 Document types
3.2.1
process flow diagram
PFD
diagram representing the configuration of a process plant or a process system by means of graphical symbols
3.2.2
process and instrumentation diagram
PID
diagram representing the technical realization of a process system by means of graphical symbols for
equipment, connections, process measurement, and manipulating objects
Note 1 to entry: The diagram type process and instrumentation diagram, used in this part of ISO 15519, is
technically identical with the piping and instrumentation diagram. The argument for change of the designation is
that the diagram type is used for both fluid and solid material processes. The abbreviation PID deviates from the
traditional used abbreviation PID for the Piping and instrumentation diagram.

process control diagram
PCD
diagram representing the configuration of measuring, control, and actuating functions of a process
system, by means of graphical symbols for measuring, control, and manipulating functions

4.1 Introduction
The clause defines principles for documentation of process control (measurement, control, and actuation)
and interchange information between process and control engineering.

4.2 Diagram types, structures, and life cycle aspects
Diagrams are used for visual representation of process functions. Objects and connections, represented
by graphical symbols, serve as carrier of technical information either represented direct in the diagram
or in associated lists or databases.
Depending on the task of the diagram and the stage in the live cycle matrix described in Figure 3,
diagrams can represent process functions on high and generic level or on detailed and specific level.
Figure 2 represents the interrelationship between different types of diagrams from different
standardization bodies.
The grade of detailing goes from top to down. The information flow from process engineering to control
engineering is illustrated by the arrows.
Specification of amount and types of measurements and actuated objects connected to the control
system are predominately made on basis of the process and instrumentation diagram.
The process control diagram specifies configuration of control system for process systems or process
sub-systems. The information flow is showed reversible in order to illustrate the optimization process
between process and control engineering especially during conceptual engineering.
Figure 2 — Interrelationship between ISO and IEC diagrams
Rules for design of process diagrams, use of graphical symbols, etc. are described in Clauses 6 and 7.
The diagram types in Figure 2 contain differentiated types and amounts of information to suit the needs
in the actual life cycle stages of the project. Figure 3 illustrates the application of three types of diagrams
during the life cycle stages and the graduated application value of the diagrams in the different life cycle
stages represented by the width of the bars.
NOTE Life cycle stage principles are described in ISO 15226 and ISO/IEC 15288

ISO 15519-2:2015(E)

Figure 3 — Typical illustration of life cycle application value of diagrams
Measuring, control, and actuation are illustrated in diagrams with variable degree of detailing
depending of needs for the actual life cycle stage. In the start of a project the representation in process
flow diagrams (PFD) is pure functional. Later in the project course, when more detailed diagrams are
developed, for example: process control diagram and process and instrumentation diagrams (PID), the
amount of information is increased and the representation is extended to also to include products like
sensors built in the process system also.
4.3 Process control interrelations
The function of process control is to steer and supervise the respective processes in accordance with
predefined aims of process control engineering.
This is carried out by the following:
— recording of measured process situation (process variables);
— comparing measured values with predefined values;
— initiate actions via the control equipment and/or operator (control functions) to the final control
elements.
Figure 4 illustrates the interrelations between process (measuring and manipulating) and control
functions (control equipment and human operator).
