What is Block Diagram?
A block diagram is a system illustration where major system components are represented by blocks connected by lines representing relationships.
Blocks are visualization of core system elements (or set of elements) responsible for the performance of a particular task.
The primary usage of block diagrams
Block diagrams are used for higher-level, less detailed descriptions to clarify overall concepts in a readable, graphical format rather than implement them in practice.
The components of the block diagram
The structure and flows within blocks are described with OMG Systems Modelling Language (SysML), which provides a simple explanation of the relations between components, the type of data they consumed, and their flow direction.
