Mathematical model:


PLC inputs:

CONTAINER
    X0 - START button
    X1 - grapple closed
    X2 - grapple open
    X3 - grapple up
    X4 - grapple down

SWING CONVEYOR
    X5 - conveyor rotated 
    X6 - conveyor extended
    X7 - conveyor retracted
    X8 - a block detected at the swing conveyor
   X9 - bulldozer 1 extracted
   X10 - bulldozer 1 retracted
   X11 - bulldozer 2 extracted
   X12 - bulldozer 2 retracted
   X13 - blockade extracted
   X14 - blockade retracted
   X15 - red block on conveyor 2
   X16 - yellow block on conveyor 2
   X17 - a block near the bulldozer 1
   X18 - a block near the bulldozer 2

PLC outputs:

CONTAINER
    Y0 - grapple closing
    Y1 - grapple opening
    Y2 - grapple up
    Y3 - grapple down
    Y4 - conveyor 1 movement

SWING CONVEYOR
