Identification system
The identification system is based on the standard ISA S5.1.
Every instrument is identified by a tag consisting of a series of letters which
define the functional features and of a number which identifies the loop the
instrument is part of. A letter suffix can be added to this number in order to
identify several of similar instruments.
LL(LL)

01

(NN)

NNN(N)

L
suffix letter (if necessary)
loop identification number

functional identification

Functional identification
It consists of a series of letters (usually not more than 4), as TAB 1, where the
first letter indicates the process variable, and the following ones identify the
functions of the instruments. A modification letter may be added to the first or
following cases. All letters must be capital.
LOOP identification
The identification of the loop consists of a maximum number of 6 digits, where
the first two identify the plant unit and the following ones the number of the loop.
Loop numbering is parallel. Parallel number involves starting a numerical
sequence for new first letter. The loop number sequence may incorporate coded
information. The number is identical for all the instruments involved on the loop.

01

Suffix letter (if necessary)

If a given loop has more than one instrument with the same functional
identification, a suffix letter may be added to a loop number.
Remarks
-

For instruments, which are part of machine, the number identifying the plant
unit is omitted. In this case, for complete identification of instrument within the
plant, the tag number is preceded by the equipment code of the machine.
The loop number sequence restarts for each machine. On the P&ID diagrams
the machine is represented inside a box indicating the machine take over
point.

For instruments, which are part of production and distribution plants or

complex plants, the plant unit identification must be always included on tag
number. The loop number sequence restart for each plant unit, number
sequence shall be fixed during detail design considering quantity of
instrument included on each part of plant unit.
