Priority selection mechanism for driving outputs from control logic for controllers of various protocols

A priority selection method comprising:

• providing control logic;
• partitioning the control logic into control logic portions on a basis of priority;
• adding a priority override function block;
• connecting outputs of the control logic portions to inputs of the priority override function block;
• wherein:
• each of the inputs of the priority override function block comprises a value or status indicative of priority;
• and
• the priority override function block is configured for control logic of various protocols.

A priority selection system comprising:

• a control logic comprising:
• two or more logic function blocks;
• one or more input points connected to one or more of the two or more logic function blocks;
• and
• an output point;
• a priority override function block having two or more inputs for receiving outputs from the two or more logic function blocks of the control logic, and having an output connected to an input of the output point of the control logic;
• and
• wherein the priority override function block selects an output from among the two or more outputs of the two or more logic function blocks as the output of the priority override function block.
