4-3-4 Special Notices About the SFC
Virtual Step Virtual Step Virtual Step
In a SFC ow can be added with an empty step. Since the step is for connection only, it is called a Virtual Step.
Virtual Step
The SFC must use the Ladder Masters S (LMS) to compose and join that into the project, then could be loaded and
executed at the PLC. There are some rules about the state transfer. The merge operation must direct to a destination
step. Furthermore, any step must bind with one and only one transfer condition. Thus, it is necessary to modify an
unqualied SFC to meet the requirement.
