You are required to carry out the design and C# programming of a controller for the following simplified washing machine

THE WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION AND REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATION

The elements of the washing machine that are relevant to this coursework are shown in Fig.1.

Fig.1 Essential washing machine components

After the User has inserted the clothesand detergent and then closed the door, the wash cycle has five stages:

1. Lock door
2. Wash
3. Rinse
4. Spin
5. Unlock door

Assume that the detailed operation of the washing machine within the Wash, Rinse and Spin stages is controlled by specialised ‘local' controllers that only need to be started and/or stopped by your high level controller. For example, heating of the water and the repeated backward and forward motor rotation during the wash stage are assumed to be controlled by local controllers. Your controller has to coordinate the local controllers with the operation of the inlet and outlet water valves.

Your controller also has to provide the User Interface (UI)

The User can select any one of three maximum water temperatures (30.0, 40.0, 60.0 deg.C) for the wash stage.

The User can select any one of three maximum motor speeds (600.0, 800.0, 1200.0RPM) for the spin stage

The UI must allow the User to start the wash cycle and also cancel the wash cycle during any stage

If the User cancels the cycle, your controller must ensure that the water inlet valve is closed and the water outlet valve is open, allowing water to drain from the drum before unlocking the door

The UI must provide feedback that is appropriate for a consumer product to the User during all stages of the wash cycle

LOCAL CONTROLLERS
This section provides important information about the wash cycle.

Wash
Before starting:
- Requires door locked
- Requires water temperature to be set
- Requires inlet valve open
- Requires outlet valve closed

During wash:
- Can report wash in progress
- Stops automatically if not interrupted by cancel
- Can be stopped if the User cancels the wash cycle

Rinse
Before starting:
- Requires door locked
- Requires inlet valve open
- Requires outlet valve closed

During rinse:
- Can report rinse in progress
- Stops automatically if not interrupted by cancel
- Can be stopped if the User cancels the wash cycle

Spin
Before starting:
- Requires door locked
- Requires spin speed to be set
- Requires inlet valve closed
- Requires outlet valve open

During spin:
- Can report spin in progress
- Stops automatically if not interrupted by cancel
- Can be stopped if the User cancels the wash cycle

Door
Before unlocking:

You should upload your submission as a zip file to Learn. The zip file should contain all of the files that constitute your program, along with a single Word document that contains your system design. To be sure that I can access and mark your software, you should get a friend to run your program from a usb stick when they are logged onto a computer in School. Be especially careful that your program uses only the files on your usb stick rather than any files that you have stored in your individual workspace on the University network. When I run your program, if it needs files stored in your individual workspace, I will not be able to access them and your program will not work.
