22.3.1 Process Sequence Bits

 

· A simple process will typically go through clear steps. Each step should follow the other, and when done the process goes back to the beginning.

 

· The general steps to this method are,

  1. 1. Understand the process
  2. 2. Write the steps of operation and give each a number
  3. 3. For each step assign a bit
  4. 4. Write the ladder logic to turn the bits on/off as the process moves through its states.

 

· Consider the problem below.
