I am trying to make use of a sequencial flow chart to esentially serve as my main() program. I really like this elegant approach, but I have a basic implementation question I'd like to ask the more experienced EIC programmers out there.
I have broken my process down into logical steps and defined the transitions. My question is, where to you place functions that must be constantly monitored such as pressure alarms, etc. For these routines, there is no transition - I always want to monitor them.
Is it ok to place them in a seperate program to be run in parallel to the main SFC or is this messy programming? (I kind of think so)
Do I need to find a place to put them in the main SFC? (say on a parallel branch that is always true)
FYI: I'm programming in Unity Pro XL 3, not that is should matter.
Thanks
