If SFC_a_stop.X = on (SFC_a is at the stop) and SFC_a_reset = on (time to reset the SFC) then for one scan (ons[ 0 ] = on):
Reset SFC_a to SFC_a_Step_1
SFC_a_stop.X = 0
Each stop uses a tag to provide information about the stop element.

Data type Details
Determine when the SFC is at the stop X BOOL
•
When the SFC reaches the stop, the X bit turns on.
• The X bit clears if you configure the SFCs to restart at the initial step and the
controller changes from program to run mode.
• In a nested SFC, the X bit also clears if you configure the SFCs for automatic reset
and the SFC leaves the step that calls the nested SFC.
Determine the target of an SFC Reset (SFR)
instruction
Reset BOOL An SFC Reset (SFR) instruction resets the SFC to a step or stop that the instruction
specifies.
• The Reset bit indicates to which step or stop the SFC will go to begin executing
again.
• Once the SFC executes, the Reset bit clears.
Determine how many times a stop has
become active
Count DINT This is not a count of scans of the stop.
• The count increments each time the stop becomes active.
• It increments again only after the stop goes inactive and then active again.
• The count resets only if you configure the SFC to restart at the initial step. With that
configuration, it resets when the controller changes from program mode to run
mode.
Use one tag for the various status bits of

One method for organizing your project is to create one SFC that provides a high-
level view of your process. Each step of that SFC calls another SFC that performs
the detailed procedures of the step (nested SFC).
