Example 3:
If you want this
If sugar low limit switch = low (on) and sugar high limit switch =
not high (on) then
inlet valve = open (on)
Until sugar high limit switch = high (off)
Example 4:
If you want this
If tank temperature > 100
then pump = slow
If tank temperature > 200
then pump = fast
Otherwise pump = off

The [:=] tells the controller to clear light whenever the controller does the
following:
• Enters the RUN mode.
• Leaves the step of an SFC if you configure the SFC for Automatic reset.
(This applies only if you embed the assignment in the action of the step or
use the action to call a structured text routine via a JSR instruction.)

IF Sugar.Low & Sugar.High THEN

The [:=] tells the controller to clear Sugar.Inlet whenever the controller does the
