These methods are suited to different controller designs. The most basic controllers can be developed using process sequence bits and flowcharts. More complex control problems should be solved with state diagrams. If the controller needs to control concurrent processes the SFC methods could be used. It is also possible to mix methods together. For example, it is quite common to mix state based approaches with normal conditional logic. It is also possible to make a concurrent system using two or more state diagrams.
