“Serial transition” is the transition format in which processing proceeds to the step immediately
below the current step when the transition condition is satisfied.
Step “n+1” (operation output [B]
Step “n” (operation output [A])
Transition condition “b”
• When transition condition “b” becomes satisfied at step “n”
(operation output [A]) execution, operation output [A] will
be deactivated, and processing will proceed to step “n+1”
(operation output [B]).
(1) A maximum of 512*1 serial transition steps (
, , ) can be described in each block.
Therefore, a maximum of 512* serial transitions (+) can be described.
However, there is a restriction on the number of lines as indicated below depending on the
SFC display column setting.
