Enters the RUN mode.
Leaves the step of an SFC if you configure the SFC for Automatic reset. (This
applies only if you embed the assignment in the action of the step or use the action
to call a structured text routine via a JSR instruction.)
Example 3
IF…THEN…ELSIF
If you want this Enter this structured text
If sugar low limit switch = low (on) and sugar high limit switch = not high
(on) then
IF Sugar.Low & Sugar.High THEN
inlet valve = open (on) Sugar.Inlet [:=] 1;
Until sugar high limit switch = high (off ) ELSIF NOT(Sugar.High) THEN
Sugar.Inlet := 0;
END_IF;
The [:=] tells the controller to clear Sugar.Inlet whenever the controller does the
following :

Otherwise pump = off ELSE
