7) FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS FUNCTIONAL DESIGNATIONS

THE FUNCTION DESIGNATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTROLLERS, COMPUTING DEVICES, CONVERTERS AND RELAYS MAY BE USED INDIVIDUALLY OR IN COMBINATION (ALSO SEE TABLE 1, NOTE 14). THE USE OF A BOX AVOIDS CONFUSION BY SETTING OFF THE SYMBOL FROM OTHER MARKINGS ON A DIAGRAM AND PERMITS THE FUNCTION TO BE USED AS A STAND ALONE BLOCK ON CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS.
