It does not stick to a special ({{l|Mechanical logic|mechanical}}, {{l|Fluid logic|fluid}}, ...) logic but tries to measure the adventages, disadventages and best practices from all {{l|Computing#Disciplines|disciplines}}. This guide adresses to people who are familar with the concept of {{l|Computing#Binary logic|binary logic}} and have a basic understanding of computing in dwarf fortress. |

Currently, there doesn't exist any trigger in dwarf fortress that reacts on the working state of machine components, thus power on/off. So, you'll have to convert power via pressure plates, screw pumps and fluid into an on/off signal. |

| − | When the pump is connected to power, it will suck water from the pressure plate and pump it to the right. The water level on the pressure plate will fall to 0. The plate can be constructed to react on 0…3 water. You can invert it to get an off signal instead setting it to 4…7.
