I'm trying to solve a problem for school by converting a state diagram to a logic circuit then converting that to ladder logic. I've already solved the problem by brute force, but I want to develop a systematic approach. My labs will be only be getting more complex. Of course as I go beyond 6 inputs then I will automate the process using matlab.
The process is fairly clear if not that easy to do. I've been following this guide:

I end up with a circuit using D flip-flops. However, its never explained where the clock signal comes from. How do I implement a clock signal using relay logic?
I think the answer is on this page, but I don;t get it:

Thanks, Scooby
