ANSI/IEEE Solenoid valve actuator form

IEEE-library form of solenoid valve actuator: this representation identifies the electrical actuator associated with a solenoid-operated valve.

In plain English

What does ANSI/IEEE Solenoid valve actuator form mean?

This reference locates solenoid valve operating mechanism in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented solenoids family. This representation identifies the electrical operating mechanism associated with a solenoid-operated valve. The public library uses HSV1 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

A simple example

Read the operating mechanism and the contact reference state together. Cross-reference every associated contact to the same device and show which movement, signal or reset changes its condition; the symbol alone does not establish the complete switching sequence.

What the drawings help you do

Cross-reference the process valve tag and the operating mechanism's electrical terminals. A solenoid operating mechanism symbol is not a complete fluid-flow valve diagram. Cross-reference the process valve tag and the operating mechanism's electrical terminals. A solenoid operating mechanism symbol is not a complete fluid-flow valve diagram. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.

How to read it

  • Cross-reference the process valve tag and the actuator's electrical terminals.
  • A solenoid actuator symbol is not a complete fluid-flow valve diagram.

Information to show or reference

  • Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
  • Cross-reference the process valve tag and the actuator's electrical terminals.
  • Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.

A distinction that matters

A solenoid actuator symbol is not a complete fluid-flow valve diagram.
