Hybrid PLC Mechatronics - Chapter 11 Use of State Diagrams
This chapter introduces the subject of state diagrams and how they play a part in PLC programming. Many of the more complicated problems in control involve state diagrams.
This chapter is about state diagrams and their little cousin, the sequencer. Both of these tools are useful in programming difficult machine operations and allow the programmer to walk away after an installation with the satisfaction that the operation of the machine has been developed logically and the maintenance of the machine will be easier than if developed otherwise.
