POINTS
(1) The block START step (with END check) cannot be described immediately before the
coupling of a parallel coupling.
(The block START step (with END check) cannot be used for a wait.)
The block START step (without END check) can be described immediately before the
coupling of a parallel coupling.
(2) The execution status of each block can be checked at another block using the block
START/END bit (refer to Section 4.5.1) of the SFC information devices or the block
activation check instruction (refer to Section 4.4.3) of the SFC control instructions.
