Cautions when Using Nesting Architecture
(1) Nesting can be used up to 15 times (N0 to N14)
When using nesting, nests should be inserted from the lower to higher nesting number (N) with the MC instruction, and
from the higher to the lower order with the MCR instruction.
If this order is reversed, there will be no nesting architecture, and the CPU module will not be capable of performing
correct operations. For example, if nesting is designated in the order N1 to N0 by the MC instruction, and also
designated in the N1 to N0 order by the MCR instruction, the vertical bus will intersect and a correct master control
ladder will not be produced.

(2) If the nesting architecture results in MCR instructions concentrated in one location, all master controls can be terminated
by use of just the lowest nesting number (N).
