Block Diagram: Figure 1: PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) Controller Block Diagram

The document discusses block diagrams and flow charts used in engineering. It defines a block diagram as showing the major parts or functions of a system through connected blocks. Best practices for block diagrams include identifying the system, creating and labeling blocks, and arranging and connecting blocks. An example PID controller block diagram is shown. Flow charts represent workflows or processes through diagrammed symbols and should follow practices like consistent formatting and symbol use. An example flow chart of a tic tac toe game is depicted.

Block Diagram

- A block diagram is a diagram of a system which shows the major parts or functions represented by
blocks connected in such a way it shows the relationship of each blocks. It is mainly used in engineering
hardware design, electronic design, software design and process flow diagrams.

Block Diagram: Best Practices

- Identify the system. Determine the system to be illustrated and divide it into its major functions.
- Create and label the diagram. Create the blocks with a label according to their function.
- Identifying the blocks. Identify which blocks are input and output.
- Arrange and Connect. Arrange the blocks according to the system’s overall behavior and connect each
block accordingly.

Flow Chart

- A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents a workflow or process. A flowchart can also be defined
as a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm, a step-by-step approach to solving a task. It
illustrates a solution model to a given problem. Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing,
documenting or managing a process or program in various fields.

Flow Chart: Best Practices

- Always format your flow from left to right or top to bottom.


- Run your return lines under your flowchart, making sure that they don’t overlap.
- Maintain consistent spacing between symbols.
- Use the correct symbol for each step (diamond shapes are for decisions, rectangles are used for
processes, start/end shapes should be the same, etc.)
