French term

système d’aiguillage

French to English Tech/Engineering Medical: Pharmaceuticals Operating instructions
Context:
Cliquer sur le cycle “7”
Tarage cuve de fabrication
L’indicateur du ST3 affiche “Pesée K17”
Valider le cycle par “départ cycle”, le voyant s’allume
Vérifier la position du système d’aiguillage sur la supervision

Context not very helpful. Possibly system for opening and closing various valves?

Assuming the 'supervision' is the control panel.

Any suggestions most welcome.
TIA Chris.

I think these are switches on a control panel that control the pipework.
Anca Florescu-Mitchell Apr 12, 2014:
@ B D Finch Yes, a more detailed context would help.
B D Finch Apr 12, 2014:
Pipework or electrical? I understood this to be electrical, but Anca has shown that it could be pipework.

Thank you, Bashiqa, for the note. It is great to have feedback :).
Note from asker:
Thank you. I opted for the othersuggestion as I think it was referring to the switches on the control panel and not the actual diverter valves.
