Monitoring System
This type of system is commonly used in industries like a tuna canning company. Several variables may need to be considered during an operation. The conditions of these variables must be monitored so as not to disrupt the operation. Taking a canning production as an example, some variables that are being monitored are temperature, volume, humidity and pressure.
These are example of conditions that will be used for the system:
- HIGH temperature and LOW volume
- HIGH pressure and HIGH temperature
- HIGH humidity and LOW volume
- HIGH humidity, LOW pressure and LOW volume
- HIGH temperature, HIGH humidity and LOW volume
Assembly Instruction:
Using the given conditions above, we will derive a boolean equation F that will specify the behavior of the system. We will let the variables T=high temperature and its complement T'=low temperature. Also let P, H and V as high pressure, humidity and volume respectively and P', H' and V' as their complement. We will assign one LED to indicate each of the conditions above and another LED to indicate the condition of the whole system.
We can derive the equation: F=TV'+TP+HV'HP'V'+THV'
Using boolean identities, we can further simplify the equation to F=TV'+TP+HV'
