- A loop diagram is a "drawing" that outlines the path of a circuit for
- one device only from, for instance, a PLC. To give an example, the designer
- would design a system that starts and stops several pumps. Instead of
- one drawing containing all connections from the PLC to all pumps there is
- on drawing, per pump, from the PLC to "a" pump showing all intermediate
- connections and associated wiring configurations.
-
- Simply - individual IO showing the connections of one device per drawing.
-
- I have seen these drawings outside of the organization but I can't recall
- where. That's the only reason for the post is to see if I could get
- a little history.
-
- Thanks for the reply and I hope this helps with the explanation a bit.
