In this section, let's learn how sequence control work. The following devices are required for sequence control.

Device that detects the machine status (such as a sensor and a proximity switch)
Control deviceDevice that controls input devices and output devices, and sends commands to drive a machine (such as a programmable controller)
Output deviceDevice that drives a machine (such as a motor and a solenoid valve)
Device that shows the machine status (such as an indicator lamp and a warning buzzer)
