feed key or the Input key.

Word order
If there are several instructions in a block, the following order is recommended:
N... G... X... Z... F... S... T... D... M... H...
Note regarding block numbers
First select the block numbers in steps of 5 or 10. Thus, you can later insert blocks and nev-
ertheless observe the ascending order of block numbers.
Block skip
Blocks of a program, which are to be executed not with each program run, can be marked
by a slash / in front of the block number. The block skip operation itself is activated either via
operation (Program control: “SKP”) or via the PLC (signal). A section can be skipped by
several blocks in succession using “ / ”.
If a block must be skipped during program execution, all program blocks marked with “ / ”
are not executed. All instructions contained in the blocks concerned will not be considered.
The program is continued with the next block without marking.
