BLOCK DIAGRAMS AND FLOWCHARTS Prepared by: Dr. Monaliza S. Jimenez  BLOCK DIAGRAM is a diagram of a system in which the principal parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by lines that show the relationships of the blocks. provides a quick, high-level view of a system to rapidly identify points of interest or trouble spots. will not show every wire and switch in detail, that's the job of a circuit diagram. focused on the input and output of a system and it cares less about what happens getting from input to output. This principle is referred to as black box in engineering. BLOCK DIAGRAM BLOCK DIAGRAM  Uses/importance of BLOCK DIAGRAM they are heavily used in engineering in hardware design, electronic design, software design, and process flow diagrams. utilized by hardware and software developers to describe and illustrate their workflows and processes. used by electricians to represent systems and their shifting (example, the mechatronic systems in the trucking industry). make it easier to represent complicated algorithms or flows of details or communication among precise components.  Uses/importance of BLOCK DIAGRAM Block Diagrams for Software Design  A block diagram makes a very efficient representation of the overall running of a computer system. It displays the necessary processes needed to get the desired output from a computer from the input you feed into at the start. Uses/importance of BLOCK DIAGRAM  Uses/importance of BLOCK DIAGRAM Block Diagrams for Electrical Engineering  Uses/importance of BLOCK DIAGRAM Block Diagrams for Process Control Symbols used in block diagram Components/elements used in block diagram  Components/elements used in block diagram Block  Components/elements used in block diagram Summing Point  Components/elements used in block diagram Take-off Point  Tips in making a block diagram Identify the system. Determine the system to be illustrated. Define components, inputs, and outputs. Create and label the diagram. Add a symbol for each component of the system, connecting them with arrows to indicate flow. Also, label each block so that it is easily identified. Indicate input and output. Label the input that activates a block, and label that output that ends the block. Verify accuracy. Consult with all stakeholders to verify accuracy.  flowcharts is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process. it shows the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting the boxes with arrows. a diagrammatic representation illustrates a solution model to a given problem. flowcharts flowcharts flowcharts  Flowcharts types  Basic Flowchart  Flowcharts types  Business Process Modeling Diagram  Flowcharts types  Cross Functional Flowchart  Flowcharts types Data Flow Diagram  Flowcharts types Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) Diagram  Flowcharts types Integrated DEFinition Flowchart  Flowcharts types Influence Diagram  Flowcharts types Swimlane Flowchart  Flowcharts types Process Flow Diagram  Flowcharts types Specification and Description Language Diagram  Flowcharts types Value Stream Mapping  Flowcharts types Workflow Diagram THANK YOU
