Hello. I am having troubles with Batch Mixer Exercise 3. I need help with which PLC controls I need for the following steps. In Silo Lab Exercise 1, there is a loop where when the box is full, it will move, and then another box is moved to be filled until it is full, and so on. In this scenario for Batch Mixer Exercise 3, the mixer has to refill after the fluid empties from the tank. What are the PLC Controls to program the following steps? Attached below are Batch Mixer Exercise 2 and Silo Lab Exercise 1. Rung 11 is the last one with the "End output." I have 1-10 rungs filled. Here are the links for the Batch Mixer and the Silo Lab on thelearningpit.com http://thelearningpit.com/lp/doc/bl/bl-ctr.html

I am modifying from Batch Mixer Exercise 2: Emptying the Batch Mix Tank.
Exercise 3 Continuous Operation:
Modify your program so that the filling and emptying sequence will repeat continuously once it has been started by the initial pressing of the Start switch.
Ensure that the RUN light is energized when the mixer or either pump is running.
The STANDBY light should light and the process should halt when the Stop button is pressed.
The process should restart where it left off if the Start button is pressed following a stop.
