Scope
This committee will establish a system of graphical symbols, charts, matrices, and diagrams that will specify and facilitate implementation of software-based control systems. These documents may include, but not be limited to, standards for batch and continuous control using programmable controllers, computers, and distributed control systems.
Purpose
To prepare documentation standards for software-based control systems that are difficult to describe by graphical symbols on process flow diagrams.
