General type of diagrams [edit]
Activity diagram [edit]
An activity diagram is a diagram that shows activities and actions to describe workflows. It is in fact a specific type of flowchart, which shows a sequence of activities. See Category:Activity diagrams
Flow chart [edit]
The flowchart represents an algorithm, a process, or the step-by-step solution of a problem. See Category:Flow diagrams

Process flow diagrams [edit]
A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. See Category:Process flow diagrams

Systems engineering diagrams [edit]
Function Block Diagram [edit]
A Function Block Diagram (FBD) is a diagram, that describes a function between input variables and output variables. A function is described as a set of elementary blocks. Input and output variables are connected to blocks by connection lines. See Category:Function block diagrams
Functional Flow Block Diagrams [edit]
Functional Flow Block Diagrams (FFBD) are multi-tier, time-sequenced, step-by-step flow diagram of the system’s functional flow, see Category:Functional flow block diagrams

Process-data diagram [edit]
A process-data diagram is a diagram that describes processes and data that act as output of these processes. See Category:Process-data diagram
UML Activity diagrams [edit]
An activity diagram in UML represents the business and operational step-by-step workflows of components in a system. An activity diagram shows the overall flow of control. See Category:UML Activity diagrams
