So say the humidity gets below the low threshold of 70%, the sensor inside the tank sends a signal to the computer. The computer sends a small electrical signal to the relay which then closes the circuit letting the electricity flow turning on the fogger which raises the humidity in the tank. It runs for a set amount of time and then the computer turns off the relay, opening the circuit, turning off the fogger.

The controls guys at the office try to explain that **** to me. I stop at knowing the difference between direct I/O and I to P, then knowing what each of the symbols on the P&ID do (i.e. a control valve, shutdown valve, level controller, etc.). I joking tel them, I know I run these projects but you have to remember I’m the dumb structural engineer.
