Simultaneous Branch<br />
A simultaneous branch represents paths (steps or group of steps) that<br />
occur at the same time (i.e., an AND structure).<br />
• All paths execute.<br />
• All paths must finish before continuing with the <strong>SFC</strong>.<br />
• The <strong>SFC</strong> checks the transition after the last step of each path has<br />
executed at least once.<br />
one transition for all paths<br />

Wire to a Previous Step<br />
In addition to connecting steps in sequences, simultaneous branches,<br />
<strong>and</strong> selection branches, you can connect a step to a previous point in<br />
your <strong>SFC</strong>. This lets you:<br />
• loop back <strong>and</strong> repeat steps<br />
• return to the beginning of the <strong>SFC</strong> <strong>and</strong> start over<br />
