A microcomputer is designed to monitor various (conveyer belts) on the floor of

manufacturing plant, presented schematically in figure. The microcomputer has two input
ports with the addresses F1H and F2H, and an output port with the address F3H. Input
port F1H has six switches, five of which (corresponding to data lines D4 D0) control the
conveyer belts through the output port F3H. Switch S7, corresponding to the data line D7,
is reserved to indicate an emergency on the floor. As a precautionary measure, input port
F2H is controlled by the Electrical Engineer and its switch, S7 is also used to indicate an
Emergency. Output line D6 of port F3H is connected to emergency alarm.

Write a program to develop the flow chart and assembly to

1. Turn on five conveyer belts according to the ON / OFF positions of switches S4 S0 at
port F1H.
2. Turn off the conveyer belts and turn on the emergency alarm only when both switches
S 7 & S7 from port F1H and from port F2H are triggered.
3. Monitor the switches continuously.
