Traditionally, themain() function performs foreground processing, while interrupt service routines (ISRs) handledevice I/O. Even worse, traditional approaches to RTOS rely on multiple threads that interact viasemaphores. This approach leads to complex, difficult to debug designs with subtle problems,including livelock, deadlock, starvation, and data corruption when shared variables are not ac-cessed properly. Regardless of these perils, many courses expect students to successfully

Thismotor is controlled by switching its power supply with a solid-state relay. While the relay is abinary device that can only be on an on or off state, it is controlled via an analog output signalfrom the PLC. This is because the remote I/O connected to the PLC from the system only has 4analog outputs and no digital ones. Therefore, the Boolean signal from the user control is thecondition for a case
