2 General terminal or bulkhead symbol

7.3 Instrument terminals or ports

7.4 Instrument system energy supply

7.4.1 Electrical power supply. Identify electrical power supply followed by the appropriate supply
level identification and circuit number or disconnect identification.

7.4.2 Air supply. Identify air supply followed by air supply pressure.
7.4.3 Hydraulic fluid supply. Identify hydraulic fluid followed by the fluid supply pressure.

7.5 Identification of instrument action. Show the direction of the instrument signal by placing
appropriate letters close to the instrument bubble. Identify an instrument in which the value of the
output signal increases or changes to its maximum value, as input (measured variable) increases
by the letters "DIR." Identify an instrument in which the value of the output signal decreases or
changes to its minimum value, as the value, of the input (measured variable) increases by the
letters "REV." However, since most transmitters are direct-acting, the designation DIR is optional
for them.
4 Symbols

4.1 General
Standard instrumentation symbols as shown in ISA-S5.1 are retained as much as possible for
flow diagram use, but are supplemented as necessary by the new symbols in Sections 4.2
through 4.6. Symbol size should be consistent with ISA-S5.1, Section 3. The symbol descriptions
listed to the right of each symbol are intended as guidelines for applications, and are not intended
to be all inclusive. The symbol may be used if one or more of the descriptions apply. Shared
signal lines can be expressed by the symbol for a system link

4.2 Distributed control/shared display symbols

Advances in control systems brought about by microprocessor based instrumentation permit
shared functions such as display, control and signal lines. Therefore, the symbology defined here
should be "Shared Instruments," which means shared display and/or shared control. The square
portion of this symbol, as shown in paragraphs 4.2.1 through 4.2.3 has the meaning of shared
type instrument.

4.2.1 Normally accessible to operator

Indicator/Controller/Recorder or Alarm Points—usually used to indicate video display.
1) Shared display.
2) Shared display and shared control.
3) Access limited to communication link.
4) Operator Interface on communication link.

4.2.2 Auxiliary operator's interface device

1) Panel mounted—normally having an analog faceplate—not
normally mounted on main operator console.
2) Can be a backup controller or manual station.
3) Access may be limited to communication link.
4) Operator interface via the communication link.

ISA-S5.3-1983 11
4.2.3 Not normally accessible to operator
1) Shared blind controller.
2) Shared display installed in field.
3) Computation, signal conditioning in shared controller.
4) May be on communication link.
5) Normally blind operation.
6) May be altered by configuration

4.3 Computer symbols

The following symbols should be used where systems include components identified as
"computers," as distinct from an integral processor, which drive the various functions of a
"distributed control system." The computer component may be integrated with the system via the
data link, or it may be a stand-alone computer.

4.3.1 Normally accessible to operator

Indicator/Controller/Recorder or Alarm Point— usually used to indicate video display.

4.3.2 Not normally accessible to operator

1) Input/Output interface.
2) Computation/Signal conditioning within a computer.
3) May be used as a blind controller or a software calculation
module.

4.4 Logic and sequential control symbols

4.4.1 General symbol—For undefined complex interconnecting logic or sequence control. (Also
see ISA-S5.1).

4.4.2 Distributed control interconnecting logic controller with binary or sequential logic functions.
1) Packaged programmable logic controller, or digital logic
controls integral to the distributed control equipment.
2) Not normally accessible by the operator.
4.4.3 Distributed control interconnecting logic controller with binary or sequential logic functions.
1) Packaged programmable logic controller, or digital logic
controls integral to the distributed control equipment.
2) Normally accessible to the operator.

4.5 Internal system function symbols

4.5.1 Computation/Signal conditioning
1) For block identification refer to ISA-S5.1, Table 2 "Function
Designations for Relays."
2) For extensive computational requirements, use designation
"C." Explain on supplementary documentation.
3) Used in conjunction with function relay bubbles per ISA-S5.1.

4.6 Common symbols

4.6.1 System link
1) Used to indicate either a software link or manufacturer's
system supplied connections between functions.
2) Alternatively, link can be implicitly shown by contiguous
symbols.
3) May be used to indicate a communication link at the user's
option.

4.7 Recorders and other historical data retention

4.7.1 Conventional hard-wired recording devices such as strip chart recorders shall be shown in
accordance with ISA-S5.1. (Refer to Appendix A.2.2. of this standard.)

4.7.2 For assignable recording devices use Symbol 4.2.1.

4.7.3 Long term/mass storage of a process variable by digital memory means such as tape, disc,
etc., shall be depicted in accordance with 4.2 or 4.3 of this standard, depending on the location of
the device.
