Branch Stop
A branch stop at the end of a linear sequencer (1) or at the end of a path of an
alternative branch (2) terminates the sequencer. The sequencer is not executed
cyclically.
A branch stop at the end of a path of a simultaneous branch (3) terminates only
this path. Execution of the other simultaneous branch paths is continued.
A branch stop always follows a transition.

New Sequencer
An S7-Graph FB consists of a maximum of 8 sequencers.
Each sequencer can
•
be executed independent of the other sequencers and therefore at the same
time.
•
be used with a jump to continue it or connect it as the branch of another
sequencer. This allows you to represent technically complicated functions in
one block providing you with a clearer structure for the program.
In every sequencer, an initial step can identify the first active step.
