  We consider it is especially relevant for the project in question:-
  • The top part of the diagram deals with the system requirements, regulatory, contractual, safety, environmental etc., defining what the system must do.

  • The middle part deals with the information flow from the sensors in the field, through data processing in the field and in offices, through to final reporting.

  • The bottom part deals with the specific equipment at each stage in the information processing. In a large system, such as any pipeline system which has developed over many years and a variety of equipment may be used to achieve the functionality.
