In the real world of industrial automation, machines don't just run on gears; they run on logic. A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) acts as the brain of an assembly line, sending electrical signals to pneumatic valves to move heavy steel cylinders.
But what happens when the engineer who wrote the code makes a fatal logical error? The machine destroys itself. Today, you are the Lead Debugger. You must fix the code before the assembly line is destroyed.
⚠️ FATAL GLITCH DETECTED: Station 4
The Hardware: The station has two pneumatic cylinders.
- Cylinder A: The Clamp (Holds the metal block tightly).
- Cylinder B: The Drill (Comes down to drill a hole).
The Bug: The current programmed sequence is A+ B+ A- B- (Clamp extends, Drill extends, Clamp retracts, Drill retracts).
Think about the physics! If the clamp releases (A-) while the drill is still inside the metal block (B+), the block will spin violently and snap the drill bit!
Your Mission: Use the terminal below to input the SAFE drilling sequence to overwrite the corrupted PLC memory.
