Briefing
Pull everything together. Tap START — MOTOR latches on. After 3 seconds, a timer auto-shuts the MOTOR off. That's a real industrial pattern: short-cycle a conveyor with a single button press. Three rungs: a SET on START, a TON enabled by MOTOR, and a RESET when the timer's .Q goes true.
Objectives
- Tap START → MOTOR runs
- After ~3 seconds without further input, MOTOR shuts off automatically
Hints
- Rung 1: latch the motor on START. | START | S= MOTOR ;
- Rung 2: drive the timer from MOTOR. T_RUN(IN := MOTOR, PT := 3000);
- Rung 3: when the timer fires, reset MOTOR. | T_RUN.Q | R= MOTOR ;

Your program will be tested against:
All test cases run automatically when you submit. Assertions are hidden until you pass.
- #1After 3.5 s → MOTOR off (timer auto-shut)
Once T_RUN.Q goes true, the RESET drops MOTOR
- #2Pulse START → MOTOR on
A momentary START latches MOTOR on
- #3Mid-cycle (1.5 s) → MOTOR still on
Timer has not yet hit its 3 s preset
