Next we need to create a set point so that the computer has a value for the 1000 s time interval which it will spend in the Add Chemical State. Click on set points and click "Add Set Point" after the last set point you just added. Title the set point "Time for Add Chemical" and enter a value of 1000 (as the time in Process Controller is measured in seconds).

In the Rules and States tab, click on States. Look under "output settings." You will see a blank sheet and all output settings should be set to Off. Slightly to the left of output settings, you will see a column of numbers 0-12. This column of numbers corresponds to the connection number in the stamp box. For example, if you wish a valve to be controlled from row 0, plug in the cable to position 0 in the stamp box, and in Process Controller set the appropriate value in each state of whether you want that valve to be OFF, ON, or somewhere in between.
For this specific example, we wish row 0 to control the valve that allows the passage of chemical. Click on the output description tab and type "Add Chemical Valve." On row 1, name that output "Drain Valve."
Next, click on the set point "Add Chemical" and set the "Add Chemical Valve" to ON since we wish the valve to allow the flow of chemical into the tank. We wish to set the "Drain Valve" to OFF since during this state, we do not wish to drain the chemical tank.
We also wish to control the pump speed of adding chemical. In the "Add Chemical" state, we wish to set the pump speed to the pump speed that we set in a previous tutorial. Under pump 0, name the pump "Chemical Pump" and under "pump on/off" set it to ON. Then under "pump speed" drag down until you find the set point "Mixing Pump Speed." Below is a figure of how your edited "Add Chemical" state should look like.
For the "Settle" state, we wish to turn off the pump and turn off the valve that releases chemical, and we wish to turn on the "Drain Valve." Do this and then confirm that your edited state looks like the one in the figure below.
