• Steps and transitions connected in series are
processed in order from top to bottom.
• Steps and transitions need not be lined up
alternately.
• When a transition is omitted, unconditional shift
processing is performed.

• The route which transition condition enables first is
executed after executing the step or transition
preceding a branch.
• Selective branch destinations should always be
started by transitions, all of which must be Shift or
WAIT. (Using Shift and WAIT together will cause
a parallel branch.)
Selective coupling
(8)
IFEm
• After the route branched by a selective branch has
been processed, execution shifts to a coupling
point.
• A coupling may be preceded and followed by
either a step or a transition.

• Multiple routes (steps) connected in parallel are
executed simultaneously.
• Each parallel branch destination may be started
by either a step or transition.
Parallel coupling
(8)
PAEm
• Execution waits at the coupling point for
executions of the routes branched by a parallel
branch to be completed, and shifts to the next
when executions of all routes are completed.
• A coupling may be preceded and followed by
either a step or a transition.
• When this coupling is preceded by an FS step,
scans are executed during waiting. After waiting is
complete, scans are not executed.
Jump transition
(Corresponding
symbol size)
<Normal jump>
<Coupling jump>
CALL Fn
JMP Pn
1) Normal jump
• After the step or transition preceding this jump
transition is executed, execution shifts to the
pointer Pn specified within its own program.
• The jump destination may either be a step or
transition.
• When a jump takes place from an FS step to a
transition, scans are executed during waiting for
the completion of transition condition of the
jump destination.
2) Coupling jump
• When a jump to the other route within a parallel
branch takes place after the parallel branch, a
"coupling jump" takes place and execution
waits at the jump destination.
