Hi

My two-circuit program was supposed to show you how I think about it so that someone could advise me whether I am doing it correctly or if it could be done easier and better when creating a new three-circuit program. So for the time being, I deleted the priority switching part from that program and extended it with another temperature of the third circuit.

Now I am working on, or finishing, from my point of view, the most complicated second part, which will switch individual circuits between themselves according to the user's request, how he sets his priorities, just as I described the functionality in the first post, which probably seems confusing :)

I try to do it as QWAZZE guided me so that the program consists of individual parts. I think I'm going in the right direction. When I have the program ready, I will share it here. Then I would also like to see your program to see someone else's ideas :)

Your feedback seem positive. Would be good to see the result.

Are you using UDFs though? UDF is user defined function where you create a new instruction.  The idea is that this allow you to reuse a circuit easily. This is helpful for your case. Allow me to provide some hints below. 

Starting a UDF:

Engineering a UDF:

Using a UDF:

In your use case, the logic components for processing the filling, looks the same for all three tanks.  That is inside the UDF. The In/Out looks different, which is what connect to the pins of the UDF. The main sheet becomes cleaner and more organised.

Are these notes helpful to you? It should help you focus on a smaller & more manageable part. Then these detailed parts can be added together to form a bigger solution. "Divide and conquer".

Hi, here's my progress, it's still a long way from the final version, but I'm glad I managed to solve circuit switching using logic blocks. Those digital inputs will then be replaced by programmable buttons and there will be three on one screen because a maximum of eight of them can be placed on one screen. Now I have it like this so that I can more easily switch and try it in the simulations. The first part of the program could be put into the UDF, but the second part cannot because the UDF can only have a maximum of eight inputs, so I would have to divide it further, so I will show it later when I code the third part of the ptogram with which I am just starting. 

You are putting too much code into one UDF.
Please evaluate the two pictures attached as a ZIP file.

PIC1 has 3 red blocks. The code structure in each of the blocks are the same. It is possible to place the code of a red block in a UDF. That would mean that you have to place down the UDF x3 in the main circuit where currently you have x1 big one.

PIC2 also has 3 red blocks. Again the code within each of the red blocks are the same. Again the code can be placed in one UDF but then place the UDF down x3.

The idea is to break the process down into small portions that is easily debugged. Then those small portions are repeated as needed. If a change is made, only a small code footprint is adapted.

Of course this is your project and you do as you want. It is only my "opinion" that you will cope better if you only had to concentrate on a smaller code piece at a time.
