                          and OFF when the maximum level has been reached:

                                                    Max = 1
                                                    Min = 1

                             If the level is between the two levels

                                                    Max = 0
                                                    Min = 1
                          the motor maintains the current status.
                             The constant level is disturbed by varying the bleed-off valve.
                          These requirements are shown in a fact table, where P represents a cur-
                          rent status and PN represents the required pump status (Table 9.1).
