Final answer:
The answer explains the six basic pieces of information given in an instrument tag and provides an example.
Step-by-step explanation:
The six basic pieces of information given in an instrument tag include the type of device, the location of the instrument, the measured or initiated variable, the function of the device, the loop in which the device is located, and the identification number or tag number.
For example, in a process control system, an instrument tag might include information such as:
- Type: Pressure transmitter
- Location: Tank T1
- Measured/Initiated Variable: Pressure
- Function: Transmitting pressure readings to the control system
- Loop: Control loop 1
- Identification number/Tag number: PT-101
The identification number or tag number uniquely identifies the instrument among others in the system. It allows for easy identification and tracking of the instrument in the field.
