Consider the following NFA A over {a,b} :

A is intended to recognize the language
L = { zαb | z ∈ {a,b} ,α ∈ {a}∗ }
of strings over the alphabet {a,b} that start with either a or b, end with b and have an arbitrary number of a’s between the first and the last letter.
Use the “subset construction” algorithm or “tabulation method” to produce a deterministic finite automaton AD that recognizes L(A).

Consider a company whose operations are housed in two buildings on the same property; one building is headquarters, the other building contains network and computer services. The property is physically protected by a fence around the perimeter, and the only entrance to the property is through this fenced perimeter. In addition to the perimeter fence, physical security consists of a guarded front gate. The local net-works are split between the Headquarters’ LAN and the Network Services’ LAN. Internet users connect to the Web server through a firewall. Dial-up users get access to a particular server on the Network Services’ LAN. Develop an attack tree in which the root node represents the disclosure of proprietary secrets. Include physical, social engineering, and technical attacks. The tree may contain both AND and OR nodes. Develop a tree that has at least 15 leaf nodes.

In this exercise we want to introduce you to a simple programming technique for adding a bit of "Flash" to your program. We want you to make use of the PLC's Free Running Timer which can be viewed in the Data Table Display at location S2:4. This integer word contains a count which is incremented continuously by the PLC when it is in the Run mode, and it can come in quite handy at times for variety of purposes. In this exercise we want you to utilize this word as follows:

With the PLC in the Run mode, Display word S2:4 utilizing the Data Table display. Ensure that the Radix is set to Binary so that you can view the individual bits within the word. You should see a binary count in progress where the rate of change of each bit is directly related to it's position within the word. Bit 0 will have the highest rate, while Bit 1 will be 1/2 as fast as Bit 0, and Bit 2 half as fast as 1 etc. etc.

We want you to add a Lamp Flasher to your program by monitoring the state of one of these bits with an XIC instruction. I'm going to suggest using Bit 4 for this purpose, but depending upon the speed of your computer you may elect to substitute another Bit. With an actual AB PLC, the rate is consistent, but with LogixPro it varies from computer to computer.

Place an XIC instruction addressed to S:4/4 on the rung which controls either the Open or Shut Lamp in your previous program. Now download and Run this modified program to see the flashing effect achieved. The Lamp should flash at a reasonable rate whenever your program energizes the selected Lamp.

Now modify your program so that the following criteria is met:

If the Door is fully open, the Open lamp will be energized but not flashing as was the case before.

If the Door is opening, the Open lamp will flash while the door is in motion.

If the Door is fully closed, the Shut lamp will be energized but not flashing as was the case before.

If the Door is closing, the Shut lamp will flash while the door is in motion.

The Ajar Lamp will flash if the door is stationary, and is not in the fully open or fully closed position. The Ajar Lamp will flash at a slower rate (1/4) then the other lamps.

The Ajar Lamp will be illuminated in a steady state if the door is in motion.

As before, ensure that you have made effective use of both instruction and rung comments to clearly document your program.
