d) Sequence control
The following describes how sequence operations are controlled. Sequence control operations are
indicated in triangular brackets (< >).
Table 4-7. Sequence Control
<Start>
Sets Run mode.
When changing from Idle mode, the operation goes to step 1 when <Start> is set,
and the sequence is started.
When changing from Hold mode, the sequence is resumed from where it was
stopped when <Hold> was set.
When <Hold> mode is set by the [step end] parameter, the sequence is resumed at
the step specified by [jump step] when <Start> is set.
<Hold>
Changes from Run mode to Hold mode.
<Stop>
Changes to Idle mode.
Immediately changes to normal output step.
At that time, the values when <Stop> occurred are retained to the normal output step
[output parameter].
If the voltage or frequency setting when the <Stop> occur exceeds the setting range
limit, it is set to the lower limit value of the setting range limit.
<Branch>
Changes to the step specified by [branch step].
Changes from the output at the time when <Branch> occurred to the [branch step].
