SFC Practices: Cyclic Rotations

Table of Contents

Keep calm and wait

SFCs are finite state machines to be more precise they are transducers. However, the key point is that state machines change their state by an input or an event. The absence of such an event must not lead to a change of the inner state, it is possible, but it is bad style, so we forbid it. For the SFCs this means, it should remain in the step until the transition for the next step is fulfilled, there should be no branches alla if there is nothing to do here let's look over there maybe there is something to do. When a machine stops and you don't know why, it's really frustrating to watch a hyperactive green rectangle jump.
