For A(ns) Series PLC’s, SFC’s reside in the micro computer area of the memory cassette. This

Also for FX range, SFC’s actually compile to STL code in the program area.
One popular feature of SFC’s, is that in monitor mode, the current step is highlighted. This
means for fault finding purposes, engineers can see exactly how far the sequence has pro-
