I have now completed the project, it was relatively time-consuming to design the flow so that it works for all special cases. Overflow of status messages was also a big issue.

You could also optimize the flow by adding the status of the blast gates (open/close). But that would also bring other dangers in terms of overloading with stuck flaps.

Well, that was just my concept and now it works 🙂

You can find the entire project with photos and explanations here:

Thank you very much for your help and feedback!
