The following figure shows an example to illustrate the utility of the GET and PUT
instructions. For this example, consider a production line where tubs of butter are being filled
and sent to one of four boxing machines (case packers). The case packer packs eight tubs
of butter into a single cardboard box. A diverter machine controls the flow of butter tubs to
each of the case packers. Four CPUs control the case packers, and a CPU with a TD 400
operator interface controls the diverter.
