 Assignment 1: Lighting circuit
Description of the system:
Three switches a, b, c control the lighting of two lamps R and S according to the following
conditions:
 As soon as one or more switches are activated the lamp R must light up,
 Lamp S should only be switched on if at least 2 switches are activated.
The three switches a, b, c are associated with three logic variables a, b, c, such that: if a switch is
activated, the corresponding logic variable is in state 1.

Assignment 2: Control of a manufacturing process

Description of the system:
A manufacturing process is controlled by a built in logic circuit which is made up of AND, OR
and NOT gates only. The process receives a STOP signal (i.e. X = 1) depending on certain conditions,
shown in the following table:

A stop signal (X = 1) occurs when:
either Volume, V > 1000 litres and Speed, S <= 15 m/s
OR Temperature, T <= 750ºC and Speed, S > 15 m/s
