#209 - Tips on writing software for industrial automation

- DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)

- Single codebase for similar functions. Create parameters to configure / enable specific functions but keeping a single code base for better code development and maintenance. Examples: Loading / Offloading. Think about instances, for example rather than 87 different functions create 3 instances.

- Simplicity and less lines of code

- Test the code as early as possible. With the help of simulation, test all the possible cases and failure modes / interrupts (Run, Hold, Restart, Stop, Abort).
