Input I2 is designated as a catch input using the Function Area Settings.
When input I2 is turned on, special internal relay M8154 is turned on, and M0 is maintained
in the self-holding circuit.
When NC input I1 is turned off, the self-holding circuit is unlatched, and M0 is turned off.
M0 is used as an input condition for the subsequent program instructions.
