Design a sequential function chart

Example
A paint operation completes these actions.
1. Transfers the product into the paint shop.
2. Paints the product using 3 separate paint guns.
3. Cleans the guns.
4. Transfers the product to the paint ovens.
During the entire process, the system must control the shop fans.
Typically, an action turns off (stops executing) when the SFC goes to the next
step. To keep a device on from step to step without a bump, store the action that
controls the device.
1. In the step that turns on the device, assign a stored qualifier to the action
that controls the device.
2. In the step that turns off the device, use a Reset action.
The following figure shows the use of a stored action.
