Example: Construct an Equipment Sequence diagram

Following is an example of how to create an
Equipment Sequence
 diagram. In this example, the
Equipment Sequence
 adds material, mixes material, and empties the mixer by doing the following:
  • Prepares for mixing by adding 25% of Material_A from Tank 1 at 500 gallons per minute.
  • Adds and mixes material through three different execution paths, simultaneously:
    • Finishes adding Material_A from Tank 1 at 25 gallons per minute, using a transfer of control.
    • Adds Material_B from Tank 2 or Tank 3, using a selective divergence.
    • Mixes Material_A with Material_B.
  • Empties the mixer after all materials are added and the mixing is complete.
In the following example, an
Equipment Sequence
 diagram is constructed to add material quickly from a tank, then simultaneously continues to add material and mix material, then empties the mix.
To construct this example of an
Equipment Sequence
 diagram:
  1. Prepare the
    Equipment Sequence
     diagram.
  2. Prepare for mixing.
  3. Configure simultaneous branches to add and mix material.
  4. Converge the simultaneously executed paths.
  5. Empty the tank after materials are added and mixed.
  6. Finish the
    Equipment Sequence
     diagram.
