Symbol Element name / Example Description
Jump
A jump is represented by a vertical connection
line plus a horizontal arrow and the name of the
jump target.
A jump defines the next step to be processed as
soon as the preceding transition is TRUE. Jumps
might be needed because the processing lines
must not cross or lead upward.
Besides the default jump at the end of the chart a
jump may only be used at the end of a branch. It
gets inserted via command 'Insert jump (after)'
when the last transition of the branch is selected.
The target of the jump is specified by the
associated text string which can be edited inline.
It can be a step name or the label of a parallel
branch.
Macro
Main SFC editor view: Macro editor
view for Macro1: A macro is represented by a bold-framed box
containing the macro name.
It includes a part of the SFC chart, which thus is
not directly visible in the main editor view.
The process flow is not influenced by using
macros, it is just a way to "hide" some parts of the
program, for example in order to simplify the
display.
A macro box is inserted by command 'Insert
macro (after)'. The macro name can be edited
inline.
To open the macro editor, perform a double-click
on the macro box or use command 'Zoom in to
macro'. You can edit here just as in the main
editor view and enter the desired section of the
SFC chart. To get out use 'Zoom out of macro'.
The title line of the macro editor always shows
the path of the macro within the current SFC.
