French to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
It is the heading of a sort of diagram. Is there a standard equivalent for this? Thanks

disagree Christine DIXMIER : Un schéma de principe n'est pas un "engineering schematic" qui est un terme très général. Block ou functional diagram sont nettement meilleurs et plus utilisés dans les spécif techniques

block/schematic diagram

Two possibilities, but it depends what is shown in the diagram.

agree RHELLER : "block diagram" is very common in the U.S. (not sure if it conveys principe though)

outline diagram

Where I am not sure of the exact appearance of the diagram or drawing, I tend to ply safe and use this: the 'outline' takes care of the 'principe' with suitable vagueness, and it implies that it gives an overall impression of the system as a whole, without going into detail.

'functional diagram' is also good
