The shipping bin model shown on the right has been re-wired. If it has been wired properly, the behavior of the indicator lights should match the truth table shown below. Your job is to determine if it has been correctly wired.

The truth table below is composed of text entry fields. To modify a field, move the cursor over it, click the mouse, and type the letters you want to insert. When you press the "enter" key or click the mouse over a different part of the screen, the changes will become permanent. To perform the test, begin with the first line of the truth table and make sure the actual positions of the Ship and Return gates match the positions specified by that line. Then note whether each of the four indicator lights is lit (on) or not lit (off). If the on/off condition of the light does not match the condition specified in the truth table, mark that field with an "X," as was done for the previous example of miswired gates, and mark that line of the table as incorrect by typing an "X" or a "NO" in the last field of the line (under the "OK?" heading). If all four indicator lights are correct, mark the entire line as correct by typing your initials in the field under the "OK? heading. If you make a mistake, the computer will tell you.

The previous version of miswired limit switches probably represents a simple mistake. Although it can allow the elevator to take back good grain that has been charged to the customer, it can just as easily allow the elevator to unintentionally give away grain. However, the gates shown here have been wired so that the Return Gate is shown closed whenever the Ship Gate is fully open. At the same time, the "Full Open" indicator light for the Return Gate is disabled, so nobody could notice that both the "Closed" and "Full Open" lights were on at the same time and get suspicious. This setup can only divert grain back to the elevator.

NOTE: If the model does not appear below you do not have a VRML player installed.
