5.5 Master Control Instructions
5.5.1 Setting and resetting the master control (MC,MCR)
Program Example
The master control instruction can be used in nesting. The different master control regions are
distinguished by nesting (N). Nesting can be performed from N0 to N14.
The use of nesting enables the creation of ladders which successively limit the execution
condition of the program.
A ladder using nesting would appear as shown below:
