(2) If another block is started by the parallel processing operation, the START source block and
START destination block will be executed simultaneously. (In the example below, processing
from step “n+1” will be executed simultaneously with block 1.)

When condition “b” is satisfied at step “n”
execution, processing will proceed to step
“n+1” and block 1 will be started. Blocks “0”
and “1” will then be processed simultaneously.
(3) The following table indicates the number of steps that can be executed simultaneously in all
blocks and the maximum number of active steps in a single block.
If the number of simultaneously processed steps exceeds the value in the following table, an
error occurs and the CPU module stops processing.
