4.  Common Step Point 
-  These compose the bulk of the SFC 
-  Step Points in a procedure other than the Initial Step Point 
-  Ladder logic is contained within the Step Points. 
-  Available addresses depend on the processor. 
5. Convergence/Divergence 
-  The ways to transition to and from multi-steps 
-  Two types of each:    Alternative and Simultaneous 
-  Alternative:    Each step has a unique transition condition 
-  Simultaneous :    All steps share one transition condition 
1. No divergence: 
Move from S0 to S20 
according to the transition 
condition 0. 
2. Alternative Divergence: 
This is an OR condition. Move 
from S0 to either S20 or S21 
by different transition 
conditions 0 and 1. 
3. Simultaneous Divergence:
This is an AND condition. 
Move from S0 to both S20 
and S21 by the single 
transition condition 0. 
 
 Divergence moves from one step to many.
