Overview of Interlock Instructions
 Interlock Instructions
The following instruction combinations can be used to interlock outputs in a program section.
• INTERLOCK and INTERLOCK CLEAR (IL(002) and IL(003))
• MULTI-INTERLOCK DIFFERENTIATION HOLD and MULTI-INTERLOCK CLEAR (MILH(517)
and MILC(519))*
Note MILH(517) holds the status of the Differentiation Flag, so differentiated instructions that were interlocked are
executed after the interlock is cleared.
• MULTI-INTERLOCK
(MILR(518) and MILC(519))*
Note MILR(518) does not hold the status of the Differentiation Flag, so differentiated instructions that were inter-
locked are not executed after the interlock is cleared.
 Differences between Interlocks and Multiple Interlocks
Regular interlocks (IL(002) and IL(003)) cannot be nested, but multiple interlocks (MILH(517),
MILR(518), and MILC(519)) can be nested. Ladder programming can be simplified by nesting multiple
interlocks, as shown in the following diagram.
