<p> Interesting question! we are moving this email list to a forum
that provides searchable archives. I posted your question (and
responded to it) on the forum. You can visit:

<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am trying to develop a code por a new Type that simulates
a tank conected to a freshwater source, with three electric
resistances inside of it in order to produce steam.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's operation follows this path: </div>
<div>- By pushing a button, the tank is switched on, letting
water inside the tank. </div>
<div>- When the water reaches the minimum level of the tank
(there's a sensor that sends a signal to the machinery
opperating the system), the three resistances switch on.</div>
<div>- There is another sensor that sends another signal when
the water level reaches the maximum capacity of the tank. When
this sensor detects liquid, the inlet flow is shut down.</div>
<div>- When the water level goes down lower than the minimum
capacity, the inlet flow is switched on again.</div>
<div>- There is also a thermometre that measures the temperature
inside the tank. If that temperature is lower than the maximum
temperature, the resistances are switched on. Once we reach
maximum temperature, they are switched off, until the minimum
temperature is reached and the resistances are switched on
again.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My main question is: <b>since the water level is measured
by sensors, how can I write down the commands that allow the
resistances and inlet flow switching on and off? </b>There
will be calculations inside, but the main problem I face is
this lack of knowledge for incorporating sensor's coding
inside this new Type and if this signals should be an input
with a proper dimmension.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance for your time, hopefully somebody can
help me with this issue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kind Regards,</div>
