An industrial wastewater processing system activates a drainage pump when either the manual override is active, or both the system is armed and the water level sensor indicates high.
Table 1 shows the truth table for this system with inputs:
- M (Manual Override: 0 = Inactive, 1 = Active)
- L (Level Sensor: 0 = Normal, 1 = High)
- A (System Armed: 0 = Disarmed, 1 = Armed)
- Output P (Drainage Pump: 0 = Off, 1 = On)
Table 1
| Manual Override (M) | Level Sensor (L) | System Armed (A) | Drainage Pump (P) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Draw the logic circuit that represents the truth table in Table 1. You must use standard symbols for logic gates.
