Introduction

Core changes in the standard revision

Dimension 2008 version 2022 version
New symbols - S01921 (sensor), S01922 (transmitter)
Symbol information volume Single application annotation Adopt IEC60617 database standard and add multi-dimensional attributes
Abolition processing Direct deletion Incorporated into Appendix NA (such as the old symbol for thermocouple in S00953)

Application Specifications for Key Symbols

1. General Symbols for Measuring Instruments

Indicating Instruments (S00910) use a circular base, Recording Instruments (S00911) use a square base, and Integrating Instruments (S00912) are rectangular. The symbol should be marked inside:

  • Symbol of the unit of measurement (such as V, A)
  • Chemical formula (such as salt meter S00925)
  • Functional graphic (such as the arrow of synchronization indicator S00920)

2. Comparison of typical instrument symbols

Symbol number Name Key changes
S00933 Electricity meter New bidirectional energy measurement symbol (S00937)
S00952 Thermocouple Cancel the bold line representation of polarity and use S00077/S00078 uniformly
S01417 Audio signal device Integrate 4 types of symbols such as bell (S00970) and buzzer (S00973)

Implementation suggestions

1. Principles for symbol selection

  1. Give priority to the new symbols added in the 2022 version (such as sensorS01921)
  2. Electric energy measurement needs to clarify the flow direction (one-way S00934/two-way S00937)
  3. Signal light color marking uses codes such as RD/YE/GN (see A00174)

2. Common Problem Avoidance

  • Avoid mixing: Obsolete symbols in Appendix NA (such as gyroscope S00964) are no longer used
  • Note the hierarchy: Instrument cluster symbols should be aligned horizontally/vertically (A00147)
  • Marking specifications: The asterisk of transmitter S01922 needs to be replaced with ISO/IEC standard symbols

Technology Evolution Analysis

This standard inherits the multi-dimensional attribute system of the IEC60617 database. Each symbol contains:

Attribute type Example
Shape category Circle (indicating instrument), rectangle (integrating instrument)
Function category P (providing information), B (variable conversion)
Application category Circuit diagram, installation diagram, etc.

This system realizes the structured storage of symbol information, providing a basis for the intelligent calling of CAD tools.
